Bring your own drinks, keep them cold in the onboard fridge, and choose a morning or afternoon departure.

“What an amazing day! Perfect from start to finish - fantastic communication from Marija and they even gave us an extra 45 min tour time due to slight delay at the port (out of their control!). Alex, the skipper, was so so lovely; took us to some breathtaking spots and made the experience even better. Paddleboarding, snorkelling, swimming - highly recommend!”
