What people are saying about Adriatic Sea, Italy

Marko provided us with the best experience we could have asked for! We didn’t have much of an idea of where we wanted to go, and asked Marko to show us his favourite spots and best recommendations. We had a wonderful day, it really was the best day of our entire holiday. Clean boat, very polite and stocked well with refreshments. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. We booked this trip as we had already done another boat trip, but wanted a more luxury and personalised experience. Marko ensured that we had that we had the best time. (Apologies to Marko for this very late review, we visited in June)

We got lucky as it was the last day of the season to access the blue cave. The trip was amazing and the speed boat experience was excellent for me ( i do not recommend if you have back problems). We got to see the daulphins and save a poor bird on our way as well. It s really worth every penny !

Loved it! We were served food, water, wine and juice. Kristina was very nice and helpful. The boat itself it’s quite old and not really comfortable but for the price is ok. Visited places were beautiful but it would be to stay a little bit longer. Overall good value for money.

We had a fantastic time, our boat skipper and guide was absolutely brilliant, the caves were stunning, just fantastic all round, thanks

Great day out would highly recommend. So relaxing and loads of food an drink onboard. Very friendly and helpful staff
