The best boat tour ever! - Everything about this boat tour was perfect! The views were amazing and Flavio, the skipper, really knows his way around the coast! He was an amazing captain, super friendly and skillful during strong waves. Vittorio was really accommodating to my necessities and really communicative through booking. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we get to come back! My experience with them was a 15/10.
