Margaret King, Qld.	Whilst I am back in Queensland the memory of my whale tour/s is still vivid and I am sending feedback from my special time spent there. At the Tourist Information Centre you are given a choice of whale tours and seeing your boat with its beautiful sail felt more in tune with the natural rhythms of the sea, so you were my choice. Your heartfelt welcoming when we (my sister and I) approached, combined with your friendly personality made us feel that we were going to have a pleasant trip. Even before the journey begun you settled all aboard and explained the necessities. Your sense of humour and practical advice showed you had a wealth of experience of being on the sea and left us with no doubt we would enjoy ourselves. I thought that a whale tour would be just about seeing a whale, but it was so much more. From the time we left dock and made our way out to open seas, there is so many magic moments. The hoisting of the sail, the crashing of the waves, the too numerous to mention local landmarks and history that was shared, the experience of being out in the Southern Ocean and then there was the majestic whales, along with the dolphins, seals and birds. All this as well as hot snacks and scones on the high seas. Such a full and rich experience, with an 'old salt of the sea' at the helm. That you, once again for the memory and should I return to Albany I will definitely 'Sail-A-Way' again.
Jacquie & Peter Allen, Kyabram, Vic	What a spectacular birthday present! Thanks and blessings
Allan & Ann Hudson	Felt like a kid again! So excited and thrilled. The ocean, the whales, the sun, the clouds - a day to store away in my memories. Scones were wonderful, Thanks Forrest!
Dean Gray Perth	Thank you guys for the great day. Weather was rough, no whales but wouldn't have asked for a better day.
Elisha Gray, Perth	Even though we didn't get to see a whale, I think it ws soooo worth it. :o)
Neka, Perth WA	I loved getting wet! but now my jeans are all tight. Milo was yummy and so was the food. Thanks
Steph & Ken, Perth WA	We would like to thank you so very much for making our anniversary weekend most unforgettable. We were absolutely in awe of the unbelieveable beauty that Albany has to offer and the indescribable feeling we had when we came almost face to face with the Humpbacks that frequent the waters in your beautiful part of the world. Although I got considerably seasick on the way back in, and we had to witness the horrible attack by Orcas on the baby Humpback, it was a trip that we will never forget. We are already planning our xmas holiday break with our two teenage children to Albany and hopefully have the chance to take them on one of your cruises so that they can experience nature at its best the same way we did. And to also experience the wonderful hospitality shown to us by both yourself and Tony; you are both incredible people. Once again, thank you so very much, we are looking forward to sailing with you again.

David & Wendy Whyte, Scotland	Absolutely awesome - a Southern Right came alongside and 'played' with us, circled the boat 3 or 4 times watching us, and finished off by flicking its tail against one of the hulls and took off. One of the best encounters in our whale watching trips. Food great too. Thanks to all concerned - especially the Southern Right!

Your trip was respectful of the beauty of our marine life whilst also being highly informative, fact packed and interesting.

We will definitely recommend you to all we speak to. Cheers.

Drs Mohammad & Nahid Kabir and boys, Perth WA January 2009	This has been one of the most wonderful boat rides we ever had. The scenery is absolutely marvellous; captivating. John has given us a taste of rides - calm water to choppy water to big waves - a most entertaining joy ride that beats all sorts of rides we ever had. The interesting part comes with John's commentary - motion sickness, human anatomy, whales, Leatherjackets (fish), geography, geology and local history. Last but not least the hospitality offered by Jeff is unforgetable. Love to return and enjoy the experience. I have been on several harbour cruises, but this one was the best I ever had. John's commentary was very informative and Jeff's hospitality was superb. Thank you very much.
