It was amazing! The best boat trip I have ever had! Captain Saro and his wife Graziella, she is also a guide - a super team! They created such an atmosphere! Champagne, fruits, sweets, music, dancing. We dived from a yacht and swam in the clear emerald water of the Ionian Sea, went into beautiful bays, and even had a little experience in sailing a yacht! The yacht is beautiful and comfortable! Delight!!! I recommend this boat trip to everyone.

It was a great time !!! The boat owners are lovely, they took care of our comfort, safety and great fun. We felt very at ease because we were alone as a family - we appreciate it very much. A great story of the coast, time for a swim in the sea in a beautiful environment, delicious snacks and a great surprise at the end - THANK YOU !!!

The cruise was very successful, we visited beautiful places, some of them were used as the locations of the films "The Godfather" and "The Big Blue". The owners of a well-groomed, powerful boat is a nice couple. They prepare a delicious meal during the cruise. The son was delighted to be able to drive a motorboat under the watchful eye of the captain.
