The experience was brilliant and it’s great value for money. The sailor was funny and entertaining. They were relatively punctual so arrive 10 minutes before to board the boat. They give you wired headphones. If you have your own, bring them. The boat is heated with radiators. They have little lamps on the tables to set the mood. I went with my husband and it was really special and romantic.
