“It was great! I definitely recommend! The boat was easy to locate too! The hosts were a lot of fun and the drinks were great! The sea water was warm (in August) so doing the optional jump in was a great experience! (the sun was already down when we jumped in) .Good choice of on board music and a smooth ride. Make sure to try and be one of the first to bord as the choice of seat as seats started to become harder to have an option on where to sit when the last few borded, but it is the busy summer”
