    Buchung simpel, Tag perfekt

    Wir haben den Vormittagsslot mit dem Schnellboot gebucht, gegen 13 Uhr zurück im Hotel. Perfekt, wenn man nicht den ganzen Tag verlieren will.

    Felt like a private day with friends

    Group of friends, six of us, booked the private charter. Cake on board for a birthday, music we picked, lunch cooked to a vegetarian preference. Felt like a private yacht day.

    Eau cristalline, équipage sympa

    Réservé la veille par WhatsApp. Chauffeur à l'heure, petit-déjeuner prêt à bord et déjeuner meilleur que le buffet de l'hôtel. Équipage honnête, aucune vente forcée.

    Jeden Euro wert

    Das Schnorcheln war das Beste. Sicht locker 25 Meter, überall Fischschwärme, und der Kapitän hat an ruhigen Stellen geankert. Ausrüstung war sauber.

    Bester Tag unseres Urlaubs

    Die Fotos zeigen wirklich nicht, wie blau dieses Wasser ist. Die Strandschaukeln sind genau das, was jeden Sommer auf Instagram trendet.
