“What can we say - what an absolutely outstanding experience! My partner and I had an amazing time, everything was exceptional. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and really looked after us. You have time to have a dip and use paddle boards after reaching Dia island, which was so much fun! Shoutout to the chef too, for the super tasty food! It was also my birthday so was surprised with a cake! Very sweet of them going the extra mile. Sailing back into the sunset is an unforgettable experience. 10/10 highly recommended!!!”

“Firstly, the crew were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable (thank you Jana & Wesley) which made the experience feel personal. we were lucky to have guests who were also friendly and considerate. the food was delicious (thank you Chef Yarris) & the location by the bay was serene and peaceful. The only issue we faced was the delay coming back into harbour which was around 30 minutes but was not the crews fault, but that of the harbour police. Overall a wonderful experience.”

One of the other guests assisted in bandaging up the leg, and then the skipper hailed another boat, which came to bring the injured fellow and his wife back to shore for medical attention. We enjoyed meeting the fellow passengers, including a dad with two kids and a mom and Her daughter who were professional scuba diver”
