“Amazing boat experience!!! - Sergio and Fabio were an absolute pleasure. They prepared yummy snacks and gave us drinks. Once we got to the bay they spread the water toys for us and provided life jackets for the people in our group who needed them. Clean and spacious boat. The whole experience was hassle-free. We regretted not booking for the entire day. It was so great we wanted to do it a second time while on the same trip. Thank you captains for your hospitality.” (Reviewed on 2024-09-06)
