The trip was amazing, everything was perfectly organized, the atmosphere created by the crew was unique... If you wanted to party you could dance, if you didn't feel like it you could just watch. You could choose between four meals which we got in a restaurant on the first island. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins the first time but the crew did everything they could and went back into the bay on the way back and we actually did see dolphins. That was unique and the highlight of the boat trip for the kids. We had a bit of swell on the way home so the boat rocked quite a bit and I felt a bit uneasy but even then the crew were helpful and gave me a seat below deck where it didn't rock... A really great experience which I can definitely recommend!!

Everything was just great. "Captain Morgen" was good. The organization was great, the BBQ was delicious, the ship was really beautiful. And "Alex" knew how to motivate everyone with his good mood and get involved... sirtaki all over the ship! We had a lot of fun and would recommend it to everyone! The last trip for this summer was on 10/30/24 and we wish the crew all the best for the 2025 season! "happy people -- happy Captain"

Great value for money, not always very comfortable on the top deck but it is what it is. The staff were friendly and put on a dance show, i would definitely recommended. I wasn't a strong swimmer and I asked for a life jacket so that I could jump into the water and they gave me one immediantly

Fun day from start to finish. The islands were beautiful. Drinks were reasonably priced. The cocktails were lovely. Well worth every penny paid.

Bar goods a bit pricy, a part of the light meal a round meal should be provided. We should have stay longer at those visited islands.
