nice afternoon out on sea. Swimming time could have been longer. Overall: would book again.
Perfect, from start to finish Valentin is very kind Sending much strength to this young sailor already seasoned by the sea 💪🏼💪🏼
We had a lovely afternoon on the sailboat. Everything was great and is recommended!
In itself nice to take a boat trip and not very expensive for the location and season. When booking, it is stated that water is available on board but not that you have to pay for it. You don't go ashore near the island but with anchor at a great distance. After an hour of snorkeling etc you sail back. The boat is a bit ugly and clumsy, because of the large cabin in front you can't see forward well, but it's still worth half a day at sea.
Fantastic trip, Elliot was a great host and the trip itself was amazing, beautiful scenery, clear blue water and my family loved the swimming, snorkelling and paddle board. We had plenty of time it was not rushed and Elliot made us feel very welcome. Would 100% recommend and would book again in a flash.
Such a lovey and beautiful trip on the water with the experience of a sailboat ride. Amazing sailor, snorkeling and paddle boarding. Definitely recommend this trip. Thank you
Such a fun outing. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, very competent, made us feel safe and was very considerate of our family’s kids ( Ages 6-10). Beautiful!
We had a wonderful time! The sail boat was the perfect way to experience the beautiful coastline and so peaceful!
Great day with Valentin and Elliott. We were taken care of from start to finish. Valentin took the time to show us the spots for snorkeling. I recommend it!
We loved our afternoon excursion with Valentin! The sailboat was super comfortable and he gave us lots of information about the surrounding area without it being like a tour. Relaxing stop for swimming and SUP. It was a perfect afternoon to celebrate a family birthday and would highly recommend!
