Booked the 3 hour sunset cruise, it was amazing! Our skipper, Marvin, was very kind and funny. He made the trip enjoyable, taught us all the safety information we needed, allowed us to wander the boat as we wish. We were even allowed to eat/drink anything we brought. My boyfriend actually proposed to me on this cruise and Marvin and the others on the boat with us turned it into a party/celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a better time! We cheers and sat around and talked, it felt like a big family! It was a bit chilly out on the water so bring a coat! We will be coming back in two years and will definitely rebook this cruise.

If I could give more than 5 stars - I would. Great skipper and great boat! All of our questions were answered, we had a lot of freedom and were able to lend a hand. The highlight was the jump into the clear Baltic Sea on the high seas and "towing" with a rope at easy speed. Would do it again anytime!

The tour was great. We were a small group so everyone had plenty to ask and try out. Our skipper Marvin was very nice and made the experience perfect. There were all kinds of drinks on board, but you could also bring your own food and drink.

It was a very nice, experience-rich tour into the sunset. Our skipper was super nice. He involved us on the ship and explained a lot. He was also very responsible with us and asked if we were okay. It was a round thing all around.

Great relaxed tour. You have to have, like we had, a breeze of wind and sunshine.
