Secret Harbour

Usually a good destination for a lunch break possibility. We get our boat as close to shore as possible but customers will need to swim/float to the beach and enjoy a lunch at the restaurant there if they like. Other possibilities for lunch could be other beach side restaurants or lunch at Pizza Pi, world famous floating restaurant. Pizzas cooked on board their boat and delivered by dinghy to ours. (Flexible, discuss other lunch options/restaurants with captain).
