We are a company that respects our customers and their time, that's why we only have 2 departures per day. With us you will never be "packed like sardines" but pampered with a maximum of comfort and new top of the range equipment. Also our boats will allow you to change on board comfortably without having wet feet and to stay out of the sun or not ;-) Our motivation is to make you enjoy these unique moments at sea in a magical setting on and under the water... We limit our reservations to 6 people on Viator and Tripadvisor but we have other booking vectors so you won't be only 6 on board.
