Dick
Negative experience: Wish I could rate 0 stars, never received the service. Paid a large sum of money for the dates to attend and the tour was cancelled, twice! Spoke with Paul Dyer on the phone who was not only unhelpful but very rude and stated that he needed more money to do the trip even though it did not go ahead due to cancellations on his behalf. Very uncooperative throughout contact and poor communication. Do not book with them, it is also not the cheapest service doing this trip!
You purchased the voucher 2021 and told before paid they are valid for a year, cancelled once due to bad weather. May 2023 advised her we have been doing trips all year.but customer was too busy!, I offered to renew the vouchers for 50% discount and when I was not interested I having a argument with her on the phone =I am not helpful and she takes revenge via social media the same as most people who are unwilling to except the problem is of there own making . Please note the vouchers have valid date and are not refundable, if you do not think you are able to use them in time just book a date and do deposit which is refundable if that trip is cancelled due to the weather .
Fantastic experience: Great trip out
Thanks Simon,
Fantastic experience: Excellent place for family
Thanks Harish
Fantastic experience: My husband & I took my Dad on the wind farm boat trip a couple of months ago on a beautiful sunny day. It really was a lovely experience, the boat was great, and Paul was very knowledgeable. Dad absolutely loved it - an afternoon filled with happy memories to cherish. Whether you're visiting Brighton, or are a local, I recommend booking up!
Thanks Stephanie glad you and the family enjoyed,
Fantastic experience: Moved to Hove last year and always thought the wind farm was majestic. A visit from my friend from LA prompted us to take the trip to show him the highlights of the south coast. The trip didn’t disappoint, with a perfect autumn sunny day. Paul was great at arranging a change in the time to suit the weather better. Would highly recommend this trip.
Thanks Neil glad you enjoyed,
Fantastic experience: The Windfarm Tour was the reason for our visit to Brighton and it didn’t disappoint. The boat (Brighton Diver IV) was great - impressive piece of kit!! Paul was very knowledgable, so once we got out there, he was literally the font of all windfarm related knowledge and lots of quite surprising facts which all added to the trip. It was very interesting and very cool to get up close to the massive wind turbines!! I’d highly recommend this curve-ball of an afternoon out at sea… thanks Paul.
Thanks Chris "Curve ball of afternoon " must use that
Positive experience: Great trip - more interesting than anticipated. A bit of a problem getting to the boat.
Thanks geoff
Fantastic experience: Fascinating trip...well organised and friendly ...would highly recommend
Thanks Tracey glad you enjoyed,
Fantastic experience: Just done this trip with Paul, the owner, we were a party of 6 and everyone of us loved it. The scale of the project is awe-inspiring. Paul's boat is spotless and very smooth ride, the detour along the seafront on the way back was a bonus.
Thank you Richard
Fantastic experience: This trip was the highlight of our bank holiday weekend! Paul is very friendly and knew loads about the wind farm and how it was constructed. There were 3 separate groups and we all had different areas so no COVID concerns. Thank you!
Thanks Kate
Fantastic experience: Great trip out to the Rampion Wind Farm and Paul is very knowledgeable - you will learn some great facts about the wind farm turbines, sub station and wind electricity technology!!
Thanks Maureen.
Fantastic experience: A great experience, with friendly and knowledgeable people- loved every minute and the hot chocolate was a lovely touch- thanks
Thanks Suzy,
Positive experience: Lovely boat trip with a smattering of info.
Hi Thomas i am sure you did not do the trip with my company as i spend 40 minuets telling our guests all about the wind-farm and how it was built and i have no record of your name. There is another company who do the tours with no commentary just give you sheet of paper "Ross Boats" please check and edit you review or feel free to call me 07901822375 Paul.
Fantastic experience: Amazing trip. Highly recommend. Very nice tour guide who was very knowledgeable
thanks Sam some nice pictures as well,
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great tour. Easy to book, friendly and professional. The tour itself was very nicely paced and incredibly informative. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks Sophia
Fantastic experience: This was a great experience and it was nice to experience the feeling of freedom that sailing gives you during this restrictive time! The boat was very clean, we all had plenty of space and appropriate covid measures have been put in place.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the trip.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Responsiveness
Fantastic experience: We took a group of our electrical students from Chichester College on a trip to see the wind farm courtesy of Paul and Brighton Diver. Passing close to the turbines truly brings home their scale and that of the entire installation. Paul gives a commentary during the course of the tour that provides much detailed information about the whole wind farm project, from its construction and the turbines themselves, to the distribution route connecting it to the national grid. A very worthwhile trip, whether for pleasure or education.
Thanks Will glad you enjoyed nice group of lads.
Fantastic experience: A brilliant trip, the wind farm is fascinating and Paul was a great guide - friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. The boat was comfortable and fast. Highly recommend!
Thanks Jennie very nice group
Fantastic experience: A great way to spend half a day, Paul was great
Thanks Sean,
Fantastic experience: Paul was friendly and helpful when I called to book, and has a very sensible system of having clients call the day before to check that conditions are suitable for sailing. I also received a very helpful email confirming my booking and providing directions and useful information about the trip. As for the actual tour - it was wonderful! A fast, comfortable ride out to the wind farm, and then we spend a good amount of time moving slowly amongst the turbines for a close-up look, while Paul provided us with a wealth of interesting and amusing facts about the planning, construction, and day-to-day running of the enterprise. It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. After that we headed back via a gentle excursion along the Brighton & Hove coastline, passing both the piers. Well worth the price, and thoroughly recommended! Thanks, Paul!!
thanks Abi very kind.
Fantastic experience: Really nice tour, Paul was very friendly and had lots of interesting facts about how they built it and maintain it, I honestly thought we would just go around the farm but we literally were at touching distance from one the structures, really impressive. Recommended.
Thank you Herbert
Fantastic experience: A wonderful way to see the Rampion wind farm turbines in a boat that's very clean and stable. Paul Dyer is a very knowledgeable skipper who tells you how Rampion operates and also gives you a tour along Brighton seafront on the return voyage. Highly recommended.
Thanks Tim,
Fantastic experience: Amazing trip, Skipper Paul is really interesting and knowledgeable. Lovely return along Brighton seafront too!
Thanks Jackie
Fantastic experience: Paul was a great guide, and the views are stunning. Can highly recommend as a lovely thing to do on a clear day!

Fantastic experience: The windfarm trip was both enjoyable and educational. Paul gives an excellent guided tour with his extensive knowledge of the windfarm project. Chartering the whole boat with friends as we did adds to the experience.
Thanks Tim
Fantastic experience: Absolutely superb service from Steve - a real gent. Very knowledgeable and made it a trip to remember. He has a lot of very interesting facts about the wind farm and the bonus of getting a coastal tour of Brighton on the way back. Worth every penny an amazing trip. The boat is really spacious modern and clean.
Thank you,
Fantastic experience: A really interesting trip. Those turbines are HUGE! Paul was a great guide too, very friendly and knowledgeable.
