An all-around beautiful and relaxing boat tour! The atmosphere was super laid-back, the food was really delicious, and the crew was incredibly friendly and attentive. What was especially great was that we had enough time to swim, and the tour didn't feel stressful. All in all, a really lovely day on the water – highly recommended! 🌊☀️

Génial et je conseille fortement pour la période estivale; il y a moins de monde aux arrêts que pour les croisières pour Paxos et Antipaxos… Le personnel est super sympa et niveau nourriture/boisson rien à redire fidèle à la description! Pour se garer il y a de la place le long de la marina au bord de la route.

What a fabulous day we had! The original tour was cancelled due to weather but the Captain called us and arranged a new date. We were well looked after from the moment we arrived onboard. It’s worth paying a little extra to have a maximum of 22 passengers (we had 18) and the boat had plenty of spare space to chill out and enjoy the views and a nap! The stops were great and perfectly timed. We did hire the paddleboard at €15 per half hour. They provided snorkels and noodles and if you really wanted you could wear a lifejacket. Food was really very good and soft drinks/wine is included. Beer was an extra €3 per can. The staff were super attentive. We had the best day and would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful day! 🥰 Our day trip was rescheduled due to the risk of a thunderstorm, but in the end, there was nothing to worry about! There weren't many of us on board, which was really nice: everyone had their own space and could fully enjoy the day. The on board staff were very helpful and attentive, and the food was really very good. Nothing to complain about! And as a little bonus, we even had the chance to see a dolphin on the way there! 🐬😍 In short, a great experience from start to finish. Go without a second thought! We recommend it 100%!

Absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t fault the cruise at all. The staff were great, really knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough to help us. We had to change the day of our booking and had debated just cancelling, but I’m so glad we didn’t! The stops were stunning, lots of fish and beautiful clear waters. The food - wow!! They provided breakfast (brioche with jam & toasted nuts), lunch (flat bread, chicken, Greek salad & tzatziki) and then pudding (yoghurt with nuts & fruit) all with unlimited wine or soft drinks. There was plenty of space in the boat too We’ve done lots of boat trips and I have to say this is one of the best we’ve done!
