Fantastic boat trip on the bay with Fred, our captain, and his amazing boat! He was very attentive to our requests and created the perfect route for us! Super friendly, he answered all our questions and met all our expectations. I highly recommend this service! And thank you to Fred for this wonderful morning.

An amazing boat trip with Fred! We are a family of 8 with ages varying from 6 months to 75 years and everyone enjoyed the boat trip. Fred is extremely friendly and professional even when we were late due to parking, he was helpful and patient. He knew the best place to swim and despite him thinking his English was not good we were all well able to understand him. We could not recommend this more.
