Guests love Solway Lass for a variety of reasons
"My husband and I have just experienced an excellent 2 nights, 3 days aboard this wonderful ship. We enjoyed our time very much. The crew kept us safe, well-fed and well informed about the area and the itinerary. The snorkelling was great, the paddleboarding was fun, the rope swing exciting and Whitehaven Beach was glorious. I would highly recommend this trip to others, it was great."

"This is my second time on the Solway Lass, I said I’d come back one day when I had kids and 8 years later they loved it as much as me!! The food was perfect for both adults and kids with more than enough for seconds, the bar was very well priced and stocked. The staff were engaging, helpful, great with the kids and super friendly. The cabins are comfy enough, tiny but that’s to be expected on a ship of that age. So much history, Lots of activities and lots of chill time. Whitehaven beach was amazing! Would recommend this trip to anyone!"

"Your " Walk the Whitsundays" was fabulous right from the beginning to the end. The little details you thought of, like having a stroll down to Solway Lace in the sunset, meeting the owner and the lovely welcome dinner which gave us the opportunity to talk to each other before the sailing trip was a great beginning. The trip itself was a wonderful mix of sailing, walking, snorkelling and enjoying the ride on the boat. The crew was extremely skilled, funny, very friendly and great support when needed. The food was delicious and always there when we were hungry. It was one of the best trips I have ever done. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!"

"Such an awesome experience! Myself, my husband and 3 friends booked this trip very last minute and did not know what to expect but we were not disappointed. The staff were so accommodating, Dan kept us entertained from the get-go. Shout out to Sully who made the most incredible food, catering for all dietary requirements and not a chance of us getting hungry as he was always cooking up a storm. Beth the sweetest barmaid makes incredible cocktails. Skipper Reece and deckhand Ross such nice guys who gave us great local tips.All in all, it was a great experience, we felt incredibly lucky to have such a good group of people on the same trip as us. Everyone up for having a good time and some drinks but yet it wasn’t a party boat.Thanks again!

"The crew really went beyond what was expected to give us a better tour than any of the others. Hats off to the lads and a great skipper. The Solway is loaded with history and charisma, it made our little honeymoon experience really special. :-)"
