"It was a very good experience. The captain took time to teach my son a bit about sailing and how to tie a knot.
The crew were great. We enjoyed chatting with them.
I think it was the best time of the day to go on a cruise. When we reached Balos, the beach were almost empty. Walking in the shallow waters in the shadow of the mountain were an unreal experience I will never forget.
Total worth it."Jonas, June 28, 2025
"Very well organized day with an early departure which saved us the ferry with the disembarkation of its 2000 passengers. Pleasant and helpful staff. Balos is a magnificent day to recommend"Françoise, September 17, 2024
