We found the Queen Bee moored during a walk and what a charming boat it is. The wooden frame and details stand out amongst all the white boats in the harbour. Booking can be done online, keeping in mind that some parts ofthe website are not fully up to date (the price is 65 euros for the day cruise), paying a deposit and then the rest on the day via card or cash. Show up at 9, so the crew has the time to welcome everyone and depart as scheduled at 9:30. Petros, and the whole crew are extremely friendly and they constantly look after everyone, without being overbearing. The trip has three stops which can vary based on the weather and Petros always provide updates along the way. They have everything onboard, so just make sure you bring towels and the basic necessities (sunscreen, etc.). The food prepared by mama Angeliki was lovely (Pastisio with a Greek salad side) and you have unlimited drinks along the way. The music plays throughout the trip, but it is at a perfect volume to not smother conversations as well as sing along. Overall, I would strongly recommend this experience with the Queen Bee, beautiful people, places and food await! Thank you for giving us a great day out!

What an amazing day out, great staff, lovely food and beautiful beaches. So nice to get to stop for a full hour at each beach for a swim or a walk on the beach. Crew couldn’t do enough for you constantly checking we had everything we needed. Will definitely be going again when we come back

Fantastic day, great trip, lovely scenery and even got to see the seals. The crew were absolutely fantastic, very friendly and always on hand. If we are ever in Kefalonia again we will definitely take the sunset trip.

What an amazing day
We had a brilliant day out on the Queen Bee trip the captain and his assistant were fantastic. Lunch was lovely and drinks were plentiful!! Swim stops were fab especially the White Rocks beach My husband was worried about getting on and off the boat but he managed just fine
J
A great day on the sea
We had a great time on the Queen Bee. The staff kept us informed throughout the boat trip as to where we were going and supplied equipment to have a great time while in the sea. The food was good with plenty of it and the wine was also okay. It was a bit blustery on our trip so they had to rearrange some of the trip but all in all it was well worth it and we would recommend.
S
A must do day trip
The best boat trip we have done. From the moment you embark you are cared for. The guys constantly check you are ok and happy. Everything was perfect from the carefully chosen stop offs to the food and drinks. The crew smiled throughout the day and kept everyone entertained. I can’t recommend highly enough.
