A great Time Had by All
Christopher our Captain was fantastic. He was attentive to all onboard. He was knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend this trip especially if Christopher was the Captain.

Great time!
David was an excellent skipper and guide. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and overall hospitable. We enjoyed our time with him and on the sailing cruise.

Not premium
I went with this cruise because of it being marked as premium. I enjoyed the sailing but the “premium bar” was beer, cava, sangria, or soft drink. No selection within each category. The tapas were 1 tapa of 5 different kinds on a shared plate all with gluten. The captain was nice but didn’t know much English. He didn’t really talk to us/ point things out because of this. Another cruiser was bilingual which made the experience much better. Someone in the group paid for the guitar player. It was a nice touch but nothing super special. Wasn’t a bad experience but wish I went with the cheaper option.

Beautiful Way to Experience the Mediterranean
This was a great end of day activity to rest our sore tourist legs. The check in was easy. Our skipper was friendly and even let my wife help sail/navigate for a bit. The tapas (selection of 4 items) were tasty and the drink options sufficient (wine, beer, water, soft drinks). While we had hoped to jump in the water it was a bit too choppy and our group was a mix of folks looking to relax and people dressed up for dinner.

Great time at sea
We had excellent several hours on a nice sailing boat with capitan Jose at the steering. Everything happened to be great - the weather, the boat, and our captain was the best. Very helpful, polite and entertaining. The food and drinks were good too. The whole company enjoyed this trip, including refreshening swimming. Thank you very much for this experience. Very much recommended. Mila and family.

Great time
It was so much fun! Marcelo was amazing. He taught us, made us laugh. He really made our day. And the cava was flowing.

lovely time on the water
Good organization, everything was on time. Safety instructions were presented, which i think is important. The boat was in good condition, our captain Marcello was entertaining us all the way. Tapas were okay, there were alcoholic drinks like cava and several non-alcoholic options. The bar was truly open and I feel like may be our captain could be a bit less active with topping up the drinks, because for some people it was a bit much. Also i recommend bringing a scarf or some kind of jacket, because it gets quite windy and despite hot weather it can feel chilly.
