Nous étions 4 personnes plus le capitaine. Excellente excursion, bateau spacieux mais non luxueux, jeune capitaine très bon, sécuritaire et professionnel. Le lunch à bord était simpliste mais bon (fromage, pain, fruits) et une bouteille de vin blanc. Le capitaine (Costat) nous a fait découvrir les plus belles plages, selon nos désirs et le temps qui nous convenait. Je vous invite à prendre ce tour si vous désirer une belle excursion intime et loin des foules de tourisme Merci
