4 mins late no reimbursement
Unfortunately we ran into challenges getting to the boat on time. We tried calling but missed the departure by 4 minutes. While I understand this was our responsibility I was disappointed by the response from the proprietor. He would not offer any reimbursement because ‘if I do for you, I must for everyone’. There were mitigating factors for our tardiness and I don’t think it’s good customer service to take full payment when we were keen to attend and only 4 minutes late.

Excellent Experience From Start To Finish
From start to finish this was an excellent experience. The staff were extremely attentive, kind and helpful. The tapas were wonderful and the sparkling wine certainly flowed freely! Good music too. Being on a catamaran boat felt a more authentic way to sail and the sunset certainly didn’t disappoint. Thank you to all the staff for making this such a fun and memorable evening.
