Absolutely the best boat tour ever. Iannis was a great captain and super helpful. Everything was as promised and more . The playlist was slamming, too.

The best 2 hours spent on a boat on holiday ever!!! The Captain was an absolute star playing some banging tunes! We were very fortunate to be similar to the other 4 people on the trip (AKA they were also mad! :)) and by the end of it we were all singing at the top of our voices to Beautiful Things (thank you Benson Boone for that one!) Great speedboat with a powerful enginge and beautiful white leather seats! Loved it all and it felt like a private charter as we made new friends! Trip went out a long way along the coast, to some interesting caves and a stop off at a beach for a swim and chill!
