The boat trip was a great...

The boat trip was a great experience to see at Malo and the forts from the water. On a scorching hot day it was lovely and cool. Lots of shade in the boat , very comfortable. Marin was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.

Very nice cruise in the bay of St Malo Dinard, very friendly guide-skipper, local to the area, who knows the region and its history well, and tells it very well. Very comfortable boat with the possibility to shelter from the sun and wind. Great moment, thank you!

Emerald Shores in the Bay of Saint-Malo

We embarked on a 1.5-hour boat excursion with Nicolas, a passionate guide who knows the area and the sites of the bay well, resulting in very good current and historical information. Comfortable boat with a maximum of 13 passengers, ideal for a more family-oriented outing.

Rude commentator

Commentator extremely rude and arrogant. No control over group of passengers whom roamed around the boat. Will never use this company again

Operator response

Hello, I believe you may have made a mistake regarding the shipping company. My boat is a small blue and white vessel with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers on board, and all safety procedures are strictly followed at all times. Could you please double-check this before keeping this review posted? Kind regards, Nicolas

Worth every Penny boat tour.

Nicola runs a very nice boat tour of Dinard and St Malo coast. It was very informative without so much detail as to be boring. I would recommend it to friends.
