Luxurious and relaxing cruise! - It is hard to put into words the beauty of taking a morning cruise on the water in this lovely catamaran with its charming crew. We were lucky to have only six passengers on our morning trip. The boat is clean and gorgeous. The crew was experienced, relaxed and friendly. They encourage us to jump in the water, helped us get in and out of the water! And served as a fabulous Greek lunch. I highly recommend!

Wonderful Experience - I 100% enjoyed the experience. The water was too cold to dive in, but it was beautiful, the view was beautiful, the host and other customers were kind, engaging, and professional. The food was fair. I would recommend. I am sure doing this June-Aug is better where you can dip in the warm water.

Beautiful Tour - Beautiful sunset cruise! The views at each stop were amazing and it was fun to swim and enjoy the water. The food on the cruise was delicious and the drinks were flowing all day. Our only complaint was that we got picked up late and there were a few delays, causing us to miss out on some boat time. It was also very quiet on the boat, which was relaxing, but we would have preferred more music. So if you’re looking for a more relaxing vibe, this is perfect. Overall it was a great time and the staff was super nice, the boat was clean.
