A fabulous trip for all the family! - A truly fabulous trip with a 14,12 and 4 year old! The older two loved diving from the boat and paddle boarding. The little one loved bouncing on the “trampolines” and driving the boat!! Captain Georgio could not have been more fun and welcoming… our little girl was scared of boats before this trip and that fear has now vanished! Thanks Georgio and your crew for taking us on a fabulous trip with the most beautiful scenery, best fun for the kids and even a sangria for mum and dad! Great value and could not recommend more!

Great cruise - recommend - Lovely half day trip with pleasant cruise along the coast to see the caves and beautiful beaches, a fun stop with swimming and paddle boards before a gentle cruise back lapping up the sun.

Picturesque & comfortable - A must. The catamaran is clean and comfortable. There is ample net area for lying out over the water as well as shaded seating on solid floor. You get a decent amount of time to swim and paddle board. You see a lot of caves (from a slight distance) and rock/cliff formations. You do not actually go into any caves (for that you need to do a speed boat tour). Nevertheless, I had a great time.

Amazing and fun experience - The morning was absolutely tranquil. The sea was calm, the sun shone, and we glided through the water. Drinks and snacks sold on board. We had about 26 on board and it didn't seem crowded. After about an hour the anchor went down for people to have fun in the water and then returned back to the harbour. The hosts were good fun and very knowledgeable. Can't wait for next year to do it again.
