We booked this experience online the evening before. There were five of us (my sister with her two children, ages 20 and 12, and me with my daughter, age 7). If you don't need a large yacht and want a manageable amount of time for a boat trip, the Stella is perfect. The mermaid show enchanted young and old alike ✨️🧜♀️🥰 and the crystal-clear water off Lazaretta Island was breathtaking. We were all allowed to go in the water and swim the short distance to the island. Back on board, the children got to feed the fish and watch the mermaid swim with them. The whole crew was very friendly and the trip is highly recommended 😊
