Best experienced Ever

We had an absolutely amazing experience on the harbour sailing cruise on the 11th of January. From the moment we stepped on board, Oscar, Alex, and the rest of the crew made us feel welcome with their friendly attitudes and genuine hospitality. Oscar and Alex were outstanding ,approachable, knowledgeable, and always smiling. They took the time to ensure everyone was comfortable, safe, and enjoying the cruise. The entire crew worked together seamlessly, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the journey. What truly stood out was how friendly and attentive everyone was. They went above and beyond to make the experience special, sharing insights, assisting whenever needed, and making sure every guest felt valued. Their professionalism combined with a warm, personal touch made the cruise unforgettable. Thanks to Oscar, Alex, and the rest of the crew, this harbour sailing cruise was one of the best experiences we’ve had. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, relaxing, and well-organised harbour adventure.

Chill & Informative cruise ride

Thanks to the swift and knowledgeable staff!!! Everything was smooth and fun even in strong winds but please do ask people for their correct desserts cuz someone gave my dessert to someone else(which they ate already before I could speak up)😔. Other than that great sailing and touring experience with lots of fun facts!
