We want to thank you all for being part of Sailingdinner Cruises David an I have loved every minute... read more
I booked the evening dinner cruise for my boyfriend's birthday as something a bit more special than an ordinary dinner - it didn't disappoint! This was a lovely evening which I'd recommend to anyone looking for something extra special. Veronica was a fantastic host and a lovely person, and a fantastic cook! The views out on the lake were just incredible, we were really lucky with the weather but I imagine it would be just as special in any weather! If you're staying in Windermere or Bowness, get the bus down to Low Wood Bay for about a fiver each and then a taxi back so you can enjoy your wine on the boat :) If you're looking for a really romantic evening - I'd say pay the extra to get the yacht to yourselves. I'll be recommending this to all my friends and family and would book again in an instant!
I booked a suprise evening hire for my boyfriends 30th birthday. It was truly amazing from start to finish. We where blown away by the whole evening.we cant wait to go back again.Veronica & David made us feel so welcome and are really nice people, the food was fab and it's definitely worth every penny.
Thanks to Veronica and Joel for the afternoon tea cruise which my daughter and I enjoyed immensely today. Lovely scenery, delicious food and the very hospitable 'crew' made this a memorable afternoon, which I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who is considering going.
We enjoyed a fantastic meal on the water this evening with out lovely host Veronica and skipper David. Greeted with drinks on the deck of the boat, a luxurious 33ft yacht, we set sail around the north of the lake past landmarks such as Ray Castle and a small cottage where a few scenes of Coronation Street were shot.
As we moored in a small, quiet bay with tranquil views of the lake and landscape around - we were invited downstairs where dinner was served from the small kitchen on board. The food was all freshly prepared and hand crafted by Veronica, expect for the luscious fillet steak which was expertly cooked by David who transformed from skipper to Chef in a heart beat.
Finishing our main, we were invited back above deck whilst the dining table was transformed for the final course.. Desert - where we had a chat with Veronica about how she makes the food so tasty among many other things!
Big thanks to Veronica and David for warmly welcoming us onto their boat for such a fantastic meal and experience. We had the private charter dinner cruise and enjoyed every minute - would highly recommend!
On the afternoon of our wedding day we couldn't fault Veronica and Dave as they were the perfect hosts for our evening entertainment. From the moment we walked along the jetty, to the moment we stepped off the yacht we were treated like royalty.
Veronica had beautifully decorated the boat with our decor which we had dropped off the night before... it looked absolutely perfect and exactly how the bride would have wanted it. We also had our favourite romantic tracks playing in the background all evening as we ate and drank the night away.
We were given a graceful cruise along the lake by Skipper Dave whilst Veronica served canapés and a wedding toast. Later we dropped anchor in a secluded bay, made friends with the local swans and cygnets as the sun set, and were then treated to a beautifully prepared meal which was well presented and delicious. Throughout the evening Veronica and Dave were extremely attentive and entertaining, providing that subtle mix of personal service and yet still giving us some privacy. Veronica took lots of photos to capture the evening with some very artistic shots, and then sent them over the very next morning... they looked fantastic - have you thought of doing a side line in wedding photography!
Thank you both for your wedding gift and card which was a lovely touch and thank you for giving us a perfect evening and night, to end our perfect day. We are extremely proud to be your first wedding day couple and would recommend you in a flash to anyone considering a similar experience for an intimate and special occasion.
We hope to visit the lakes again next year, maybe on our first anniversary and would love to see you both too.
With love, the new Mr & Mrs Blackmore xx
