Would recommend this boat trip to everyone! We had such a great time, captain Giannis and the crew were really friendly and made the trip personal to us. Always checking in to see if we needed anything else. We booked for Friday but due to bad weather we changed our trip for the next day, the communication I received around this was fantastic. Wonderful company, would do it again tomorrow if we could.
