Everything was perfect, from the booking to renting the boat. Very friendly staff, they explain very clearly how to ride the boat and they let you to a "test drive" to make you "feel" the boat. Make sure you have a charged smartphone with you, they install a navigation app on it so you now where to go and where to avoid rocks in the water and tell you where are the best spots to throw the anker. We only wished the 4 hours could last longer! 100% recommended!

Awesome experience and great support and flexibility from the team. Only issue was the strong wind, so next time would be great to know the calm areas around. But once we found that it was truly amazing. Thanks for everything!

Super nice hosts and absolutely new boats! Highly recommended!!!!!!

Really great experience, the guys were so lovely and helpful!
