Happy because dogs are accepted to board the boat - We chose this service provider because it accepts dogs. The boat is large and comfortable knowing that during our visit we had the good weather. We had a 2 hour stop in Girolata and it is convenient because you can visit, swim or eat. Throughout the trip there were explanations and at the end of the journey a member of the crew came to ask us our opinion on this cruise and if we have any questions. I liked it because we were able to visit the coves of Piana and the scandola reserve on the same day. Very nice cruise and well loved

Very good memories of this boat crossing - We made the complete tour in small star (Arone Beach, Capo Rosso, Gulf of Porto, Scandola Reserve...) Joseph is very considerate, he will see every holidaymaker and make sure that the crossing is good and that they are not seasick, he does not hesitate to give the explanations again if we did not hear well. We have seen beautiful landscapes. I recommend this company.
