Great experience
Bring a sweater in April, the water temp was pretty good but it can be cold on the boat depending on wind. Other than that the trip was absolutely perfect.

Enjoyable Boat Tour
If you sail in late September, be prepared for water temperatures under 20 degrees Celsius. So if you're not a fan of colder water, you might not enjoy in-water experiences.

Perfect engagement
I planned a surprise trip to propose to my partner. Ruben was excellent in helping arrange the perfect trip and responded quickly to messages. We did some sightseeing and then anchored up in a great spot for the sunset for the proposal. Ruben and Diane(?) were fantastic and helped film and take pictures to ensure it was all captured beautifully. Added bonus we were able to connect to the Bluetooth to play music. Would highly recommend.
