Fantastic. - Well worth it. After walking the 7 Hanging Valley trail it was so interesting seeing it from the sea. A totally different view.

Good brill fun and dope music choices but relaxed and friendly vibes - This is so laid back and chill, the crew are awesome and friendly, bob Marley and la vie en rose on the music so everyone was relaxed and friendly and shared boat space and had a wee dip in ocean! Good fun overall and worth the money and the crew being relaxed meant it felt like a personal boat experience with friends instead of formal and stuffy. Really enjoyed this boat trip and would recommend!

Always love a Catamaran! - Such a fun experience! The views on a perfect Sunday afternoon were amazing. Gyl was so hospitable and only wish is that they had music during the boat tour but overall it was spectacular!

Amazing - The crew was very friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful view and enough time to enjoy the view and to take fotos. The ship was quite comfortable and big enough for the amount of people. All in all an amazing experience, would recommend:)

Good comfortable and enjoyable ride for us and our kids - Despite the heat and 3 hour duration my 5 and 6 year old boys were entertained. They enjoyed sitting on the net and having the wind in their faces. We took nice photos of the coastline. The staff was great with them. They only sat on the edge of the area to go swimming for a moment just to get wet and cool off. The waves were too strong for an actual swim for them even with life jackets and relatively calm waters. Good for me especially with my mask and snorkel (nothing to see, but more comfortable ). It was necessary to bring a lot of snacks for the kids but that’s a given for any trip with young kids. They both needed some motion sickness medications ahead of time even with calm waters (Dramamine for kids for my normally motion sick son and just the homeopathic ‘Motion Calm’ (by Boiron company) was good enough but needed on the spot actually for my other one who never gets motion sickness. It may have been because of the heat and boat combination.

This time YOU are the sardine - They fill the boat to the maximum (67 people... 20 less woukd be better). 1/3rd of the boat is net, but it only has a 5 person capacity. The rest gets uncomfortable seats (except in the middle where you cannot see the view properly). Would not recommend. Staff was friendly enough tho, wouldnt want to try to wrangle all the people with just 2 staffmembers.... kudos to them. Shame on the company.
