A brilliant trip - Fantastic afternoon trip, staff were brilliant and very attentive making sure every need was met. They helped everyone who wanted to swim both in and out of the water and generally made everything just right. Lucky enough to see dolphins as well

An excellent experience - The whole experience was excellent from start to finish.
We were collected at the agreed pickup point on time, and taken to the catamaran, just stopping to collection points along the way.
Boarding was easy, with assistance if required, instructions given and we were off. The bar open ended and the service was second to none. Glasses were swiftly taken away and replenished if required. Once we stopped to snorkel, again instructions were given a free snorkels were available. Whilst in the water food was prepared.
The whole experience was great value for money, once back in port we boarded the bus and were taken back to our original collection point.

Amazing experience - This was the highlight of our holiday in Bulgaria. We were a group of 7 including 2 children who all loved the catamaran experience.
We were picked up on the main road near our hotel on a London Bus then taken to Old Nessabar to board the boat. The staff were so helpful and we quickly set off on our 4 hour cruise.
The food was excellent and a good choice of drinks included from the bar. The staff helped carry drinks over to where we were sitting.
The cruise was so relaxing, my wife and son even fell asleep!
There was an opportunity to swim in the warm water with noodles available to those who were not confident swimmers. My daughter and I saw a dolphin before we set sail back to port.
Overall a fantastic experience.

Good, well organised trip - Well organised, attentive crew great all round experience
A slight shame we saw no sea-horses or dolphins and a few too many jelly fish, but this obviously outside of ship's control😄

Good - We booked through the TUI app with a discount code and was collected on the road by our hotel in a red London double decker bus which was a nice touch. The catamaran had 70 people on it so was busy and best spots quickly taken. Drinks and lunch provided with opportunity to swim. Briefly saw dolphins. Toilet was down a very step ladder so not good for those with restricted mobility. Staff worked hard to ensure all areas clear of cups and water from those who went swimming as surfaces became slippery when wet. It was nice to escape sunny beach on this boat trip.

Not exactly value for money - Overrated trip with not much to remember.
The boat is good, so is the crew. However, it’s just a boat tour with only 30 minutes of swimming in some coast with hardly any fish and flora of interest.

A Captain who yells at paying passengers - The VIP Catamaran cruise was well-run with ample staff who looked after passenger’s safety and also very quickly dried the boat deck and removed plastic glasses once passengers were done. It was seemingly an ideal experience until I dealt with the Captain.
I have torn my plantar fascia in my left foot and am unable to walk barefoot on that foot without pain. I explained my circumstances as I embarked and a staff member allowed me to embark with the Hoka slides that I brought in a separate bag that had never been worn outside.
The trip went very well with my friend getting my drinks and my sitting for most of the time. When it came time to anchor for a swim, I very gingerly made my way to the back exit, removed my slides, and carefully got into the water with the assistance of the Captain ironically. I repeated the same procedure when I re-embarked after the swim.
We had lunch which was pleasant and there was ample food for all. As it was a 4 hour cruise, I eventually needed to use the washroom which is below deck and you climb down a ladder. I asked a staff person for directions, and they said I could not use the washroom in my slides. I explained that another staff member had approved my slides when I embarked, but this employee instead said I had to speak to the captain. The Captain came over, and he indicated he spoke English and I explained my injury and predicament. He was very serious and grudgingly agreed I could use the washroom in my slides.
When I returned to my seat, he immediately came over and very angrily said in a loud voice: “You are a very bad liar! I saw you walk off the boat to swim and again to get on the boat. You can walk, you are a very bad liar!” He then stormed away before I could respond. It was very embarrassing, and I felt humiliated with no chance to explain myself. This essentially ruined what would have been an otherwise lovely day.
I would recommend this tour, but this aggressive Captain, or perhaps he is the owner is a volatile person, who should never have treated me that way. It was unjust and embarrassing, and he knows nothing about my health situation, despite my attempt to explain it to him. Therefore, I cannot recommend this company.

No snorkeling. Limited views - I would not recommend this tour. The boat went out 1 hr then back same way. We stopped right next to port we departed from. We did not even attempt to go snorkeling and even when asked for snorkels they refused to give us one to use. They just said visibility was bad. Very frustrating trip and kids had terrible time due to no snorkeling or entertainment at all. The people were nice at least.
