Very Nice. No wind on our day, so we motored. The swimming was excellent, but for older persons, getting back on the boat was difficult
Very informative skipper and his mate on the designing of the ship and the history of the port and surrounding islands. What fun swimming in the cove and our friends went snorkeling seeing many colorful fish and types of coral. They served us some coffee and tea and ice water and let us help hoist the sails on the way back. A great time by one and all. A nice small group of 9 of us. Kevin
Highly recommended very friendly amazing little boat and they also let you sail it you have to try it if you in the area
The 3 hour boat ride was a great way to spend the afternoon. The captain and his mate were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and sites. It was a small group of 8 and a very enjoyable activity. I would recommend doing this.
Very nice sail on traditional vessel with very friendly crew. Stopped ar Chateau d’if on an island. Very nice swim.
This was an incredibly relaxing and wonderful trip. Our highly skilled guided Jacques and Gaspar looked after us from start to finish, and sharing lots of information, giving people the opportunity to assist with the sails and the steerage of the boat. We learned about the old port, the quarantine island and hospital and stopped for a refreshing swim in the sea. We were a small group and looked after on a personal level, being given choices of where and how we prioritised our time. We have travelled lots and done plenty of excursions but this will always be a highlight for us! Thank you!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful historic boat, nice islands ans great opportunity to swim
It was a very sunny and pleasant day. Gentle motoring and sailing and time spent in the water. Snorkeling, if you like. Pleasant and cheerful crew.
