Fabulous day, great spots to stop. Comfy boat, good crew! Delicious food options. Improving the initial boarding of the boat needs attention. They took too long getting everyone on board and seemed very unorganized impacting the timing for our first stop at La Maddelena as we departed late.

The only suggestion would be when arriving onto an island let people know what they can do and where to go.
