Strong points: Beautiful boat, musical atmosphere, non-alcoholic drinks included, beautiful boat trip, beautiful landscapes, great sensations Weak points: Stop in open water, no beach for 1h15 to see the fish, there are some but all the same. The break is a bit long. We see Cadaques and we turn back. You have to choose the longest route to get down to Cadaques. The return trip is too long. Overall opinion: great outing!

Beautiful tour along the coast. The destination is beautiful! If you need time to eat, you should plan a longer stay. It is not possible to visit the place and still have a meal in peace.

Nice crew, beautiful route, just as described, our captain stopped especially when we saw dolphins.

the treatment at all times of the staff working on board, and that you can easily go with your pet

Transport very good but a little disappointed by Cadaqués….!!!!
