Fun boat trip! - Had a lovely trip out to scroby sands to see the seals. I took my elderly parents (aged 79 and 85), I was little concerned about how they would find getting on and off the boat, but John and Jack reassured us, and were very helpful when needed. We had wonderful weather, so didn't get too wet! We saw lots of seals, which was wonderful. John and Jack were very mindful of not getting too close to the seals, and switching off the engine on approaching scroby sands. I felt it was good value for money. I would highly recommend this trip.

Sea dogs, land dogs and a very fast boat! - A really fun boat trip and dog friendly too. The jet adventures team were very friendly and informative. They provided extra jackets (optional) as well as life jackets, and our dog got a special doggy life jacket too It was wonderful to see the seals and watch them bob up and down in the water and on the island, so a really exciting trip and and lovely day out!

Not to be missed! - What a fantastic experience we had today. We were all rather wet but so much fun! The seals came quite close and we were offered binoculars to see them even closer. John and Jas couldn’t have been more welcoming and looked after everyone, especially the nervous and young passengers. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Seals Galore - We were on the seal watching trip that Dazzle was on. What a wonderful trip out. Very pleasant and knowledgeable crew, waterproofs provided if you needed them, and loads of seals. And the porpoise who put in an appearance made for a great experience. Can't recommend this trip highly enough.
