We could recognise all the places we had visited from the boat. We enjoyed the sunset and the experience of being on a catamaran. The singer was brilliant too. We thought the trip overall was excellent and offered good value for money. The port is in a location to get a late dinner afterwards.”

“We did the day cruise for a hen do, the staff were all so lovely and accommodating to our group of 16. Boat was big enough for all the people on the cruise without all being ontop of eachother. I got a splinter in my foot and they helped straight away to get it out with a first aid kit on board! Only negative is the cruise is said to include tapas but we only had a tray of potato omelette put out when we were expecting a little more included. But this didn’t ruin our trip or experience. Would recommend and use again!”
