Boat trip along the coast - The stunning coastline was gorgeous, with the sun out and not a cloud in the sky everything was perfect, the boat was big enough to accommodate over 100 and we didn’t feel cramped in at all, you had a choice to get to the beach, either swim in or wait for the small boat, we chose to swim which was about 100 metres to the shore, just about my limit but glad I did it. Then a few hours just relaxing with a free bar and a bbq. Overall a wonderful experience.

Great day out for the price. - The beach was beautiful, the boat ride was lovely. Not to crowded. Plenty of food and drink on the beach. Only slight downside was that there were no chairs or sunbeds to sit on or lay on. This would have been better. Plus more paddle boards, they only had 4, of which three needed blowing up more. Overall a great day out and very very well run and organised.

Sunset bbq - Sunset bbq and beach cruise was fantastic, the boat ride itself was beautiful going past the caves and the staff were quick at serving the drinks on the way. Then we got to the beach which was amazing, a beautiful and chill vibe to begin with, and the bbq was nice with plenty of options. Then after the fire show the DJ put on dance music before we headed to the boat to party our way back. There was 12 of us there and we would all recommend!

Highly recommend! - Excellent experience! The ride along the gorgeous shore was incredible and comfortable. The food was what you'd expect from a buffet on a beach. We were able to paddleboard to a nearby cave, which was so special.

Very Enjoyable experience. - My wife and i booked this trip down at the marina during a stop off on the open top bus tour,the idea of the beach bbq and the longer sailing experience was the deal clincher amongst the many offered tours available and not overly expensive. We booked a taxi down to the marina from our hotel and arrived in plenty of time prior to the 09.30 check-in,so enjoyed a relaxing coffee in a nearby bar beforehand. Check-in and pre-boarding was fairly chaotic and you can sense that everybody is wanting to just get aboard and grab the best positions,which in hindsight is not really necessary as there is quite ample room both up top and below deck. Do be aware that the drinks and food are not free and are payable at the bar,you do get a free welcome snack,many people including us wrongly thought everything was free once on board so did not bring even water. The sail along the coastline is enjoyable and the main cave you enter quite spectacular,for the bbq stop you have the option of swimming ashore from the boat or jumping in one of the 2 smaller motor boats that ferry groups ashore,a couple of people did struggle with the swim as you do anchor quite a way from the beach so do only make the swim if your capable or one of the smaller boats will have to come to your rescue!! Do be warned that the sand can be very hot underfoot once ashore so do make sure you have access to some form of footwear once on the beach,the small boats will take your bags etc if required. Drinks are readily available on the beach and the bbq served after around half an hour,the food offered is bbq skewers,sausages,fish,salad and crisps and all very nice. After a couple of hours on the beach everyone is then ferried back to the boat before relaxing again for the return journey,no loud music and not too long before returning to the marina. Overall a really nice relaxing cruise.

"A Well-Organized Outing, But Lacking in Transparency" - The outing was generally well-organized, with a smooth sailing experience. However, the boat trip felt somewhat crowded, which detracted from the exclusive atmosphere I was hoping for. The stop at the beach with the barbecue was a highlight, providing a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle. One downside was that drinks were only complimentary during the barbecue, a detail that was only mentioned in the fine print. Greater transparency in the offering could have avoided these minor frustrations.
