Staff was professional and courteous. While the boat was full, I still felt that I was able to have a conversation with my friend without distraction. The boat ride was a good length with both sides being able to see the scenery.

A delightful experience. A comfortable boat with more than enough space for all the guests. A champagne welcome. The cruise was smooth and leisurely, allowing us to enjoy the views.
When the smaller boats are taking you around for 20-30 minutes for the same price as this 1.5 hour cruise this is worth it. Views were great. Complimentary Glass of Champagne or Orange Juice. They had indoor and outdoor seating, nice music, and you could buy more drinks. Definitely recommend doing this.
Very relaxing! Highly professional! Tranquil experience. They also give a complementary drink. I highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and high recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a tranquil, relaxing experience on Lake Ohrid and appreciated the professionalism of our crew.
Serving that complimentary welcome drink is one of our favorite ways to start the journey, and we’re so glad it added a special touch to your time with us.
The entire Armada team hopes to welcome you back on board for another peaceful cruise soon!
Fair price and lovely trip. Arrive 20 minutes early for picking your seat, but truthfully all the seats on the upper deck are good ones, and no one had to sit below. We were served the complimentary drink quickly, before leaving the dock so we had plenty of time for another or two during the trip. You pay for additional drinks at the normal prices for the area. The sunset and views were excellent and the trip was the perfect amount of time.

Thank you so much for the detailed review and helpful tips for future guests! We're thrilled you enjoyed the sunset views, the timing, and our drink service. It’s great to hear you had such a lovely trip, and we hope to welcome you back on board again soon!
Scenery was magnificent and boat was good. Felt a bit discriminated against attending solo, they wanted to keep moving me so no seat next to me was wasted. Staff appeared like they wish they were somewhere else.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your kind words about the scenery and the boat.
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience as a solo traveler. We aim to make every guest feel comfortable and welcome, and we regret that trying to manage seating made you feel singled out. Furthermore, our team strives to provide enthusiastic, hospitable service, and we apologize that the staff fell short during your trip.
We take your comments seriously and will review this with our crew to ensure our seating policy is handled more thoughtfully and our team delivers the warm service our guests expect. We appreciate your valuable feedback and hope to welcome you back for a much smoother experience.
Was a nice experience, not too long and free drink was much appreciated. Staff were friendly, however the cruise felt slightly over booked as all tables were squished together with little space to relax

Value for money and great experience. Brilliant staff and it did not disappoint. So much to see as the Sun goes down
Relaxed sunset cruise.
A nice glass of fizz to set sail with.
Lovely background music.
Beautiful views of the church as we sailed by.
Great staff, attentive and friendly.
Good cocktails (chargeable, but not expensive).
Totally relaxing cruise.
Great experience, value for money and well organised. We were offered a choice of orange juice and champagne at the start of the tour. Were able to click some nice pictures of the nature and city from the boat.
Would recommend!
Did not like the quality of the boat! Servers were rude as well. Nothing was explained about the sightseeing.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the cruise.
Please note that our sunset tour is advertised on all platforms as a relaxing music cruise rather than a guided sightseeing tour. We operate some of the newest boats on Lake Ohrid, and we strictly follow safety capacities, though we understand that popular sunset slots can feel busy.
Your feedback regarding the staff has been noted, and we will look into it to ensure our high standards of hospitality are maintained.
Sincerely,
Boat Armada
This sunset tour across Lake Ohrid was amazing. We couldn't believe how cheap this tour was for the experience, with a glass of Prosecco! The staff on the boat were excellent, I would recommend to everyone.
Really enjoyed this short cruise around the lake. Comfortable boat and free drink. A lovely way to see Ohrid and the sunset.

Great value and a very pleasant cruise on the lake for sunset passing a number of the key vista points including the beautiful Church of St John at Kane, perfect at sunset from the water. Boat staff were excellent and bar drink options great.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Our crew will be delighted to hear your compliments about their service and the drink selection. We would love to welcome you aboard again in the future!
Excellent trip and fantastic value. Well organised and a 'must do' event. Perfectly timed to see a beautiful sunset.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the organization, the value, and that perfect sunset. Hope to welcome you back on board for another great trip!
We had a lovely relaxed evening sipping our complimentary drinks and taking in the beautiful lakefront and sunset. Bar onboard made nice cocktails for added cost for anyone wanting more. Length of cruise was perfect. Seats on board are first come first serve, so get there early!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad the cruise length, the cocktails, and the views made for a perfect evening. Thanks also for the great tip about getting there early—hope to see you on board again soon! 🥂
Not sure but it felt very lack luster, we were really excited for this, but vibes were a bit dead. Not completely the company's fault as it was quite overcast and very windy/cold, but on the other hand the staff didn't come across as very friendly on this day. Besides that the boat is really lovely and well looked after and has great potential. Maybe we caught them on a bad day
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you loved the boat, but we sincerely apologize that the service didn't match. Our guests' experience is incredibly important to us, and we will certainly use your comments to make sure our team is bringing their best energy, even on cold and overcast days. We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future!
Its beautiful, the personel is amazing. The music was just not my style. Its weirdly slow jazz music that makes u want to cuddle and go to sleep. I loved it tho.
Lovely views of Lake Ohrid. A good value. Helpful staff. Easy to find the port and the boat. The addition of champagne or juice was a nice touch. It was chilly so maybe a coffee option in place of champagne.
A lovely experience. Boat comfortable, nice chilled out ambience with music and glass of champagne. Sunset amazing - a lovely end to a good stay in Ohrid.
Lovely little cruise to do at the end of the holiday.
Only downside was the amount of smokers on board. I have asthma so we moved downstairs. This was not a problem though.
Staff was professional and courteous. While the boat was full, I still felt that I was able to have a conversation with my friend without distraction. The boat ride was a good length with both sides being able to see the scenery.
Great value , well organised with a beautiful sunset , and beautiful views of lake orhid , definatley worth the experience
I arrived at 18.25 - boat already packed! As a solo guest, I was thus sat on a chair opposite a couple. Half the boat were smokers. Had to ask for my glass of champagne, which was only half full. However the views are beautiful and for just 10€, what more could you expect?
Great experience despite the bad weather to start. Had a lovely cruise around the edge of the lake to St Jovans Church then cut across and around the other side. Lucky enough to get some beautiful colours through the clouds. Wine or juice on arrival. Very comfortable with lots of room and open air upstairs or enclosed downstairs available. Lovely experience!
Lovely boat Armada.
Great choice of drinks to purchase and reasonable.
Lots of seating but you will be allocated seats, perhaps share a table.
Loads of excellent photo opportunities and the skipper will angle views so that both sides of the ship has a great view
View is very nice, however the seating arrangement is quite bizarre. In order to fit as many people as possible, they line up seats at the centre of the boat in a slightly lower level than those sitting on the side of the boat. People sitting at lower level can’t really see anything or enjoy the view.
Fantastic evening with beautiful views of Ohrid. Very special. Complimentary drink and great bar service.
Beautiful sunset cruise around Lake Ohrid with sparkling wine and a really friendly staff. I would highly recommend this experience.
This was a very enjoyable boat tour full of scenic views that helped us make the most of having just one evening in Ohrid. I would highly recommend this experience.
