We were allocated sun beds on board, food was amazing. We were the only family on board this day and they still continued with the trip which we are grateful for. Highly recommend this experience and we will be booking again next year when we return (and hopefully we get better weather.”

Boat cleanliness was high, music good, food tasty and well prepared. Only small niggle - despite there being a no smoking sign on the catamaran there was about 6 people smoking throughout the cruise.”
