“It was my mum’s 60’s birthday and it was her dream to see dolphins. Captain and the team were incredible, they made our day truly unforgettable, we saw so many dolphins up close. Huge thank you to Jenny for arranging the cake, it was a such a sweet touch. We had absolutely fantastic time onboard! Captain and chief stew were so attentive, we were offered lunch and drinks, and they made sure everyone were comfortable during the trip. Beautiful, luxurious sailing yacht and can’t recommend enough, would definitely come back again next year! Definitely one of the best captains, he is good in finding dolphins and whales. 5 star experience!!!!!…”

“Es war ein toller Ausflug mit einer kleinen Gruppen mit einem wunderbaren Kapitän! Wir haben Grindwale und Delfine gesehen und sie mit respektvollem Abstand in Ruhe beobachten dürfen. Das Boot ist super komfortabel und der anschließende Imbiss-Stopp mit Getränken und der Möglichkeit eigenständig zu schnorcheln waren Ideal. Wir konnten Fragen stellen und haben viel über die lokalen Gegebenheiten der Unterwasserwelt gelernt. Wir fanden es fantastisch und sehr empfehlenswert!”
