We have two boats for hire:

KRAKEN ASSAULT: If you book one of Skipper Scotty’s chartered tours, he makes sure that all passengers (even the furry kind as we permit Dogs onboard) are treated to a Kraken day whilst being immersed in whatever your preferred theme of the day may be.  The Skippered Boat Tours are personally crafted to suit the group’s style & preferences, and when onboard the KRAKEN ASSAULT it’s a fully liquor licenced vessel selling alcohol (18+ONLY) responsibly ~ so if you’d like to have a refreshing drink onboard you certainly can!

KRAKEN SQUIDLICKER: If you book this boat, you can hire it and self-drive it (with or without a licence).
