1000th Passenger

We are expecting to carry our 1000th passenger over the weekend, since we started in May. A bit later than I would have liked, but at least we have got here.

If anyone is down Poole way, why not pop in, we have a special polo shirt and a few other goodies to give away.

Regards
Steve

PS the Parker is still performaing excellently, as are the Verado's

Well done Steve, glad it has worked well after the hiccups at the start. Holiday season and children now so you should be busy.

We did it today!!! Had near full boats all day, so reached the total on only the third trip.

We also started a comments book, as although we have had much positive verbal feedback, when you tell other possible clients, it sound like a sales pitch. This has also gone down very well. One 82 year old we took out today, said it was the Best thing she had ever done! Must be doing something right ....

Why not become a friend on our facebook page - it really helps with our Google ranking
