“Overcrowded “luxury” cruise – more Ibiza-style floating canteen than sightseeing We booked this James Bond catamaran trip because the description promised a luxurious experience with a beach stop, kayaking and a visit to James Bond Island.

We were only able to stay on the islands for 30-40 minutes which is not enough time to relax, snorkel and enjoy the beach. I would suggest less island stops to give visitors enough time to fully enjoy”

“Was not that good. I was expecting much better according to my previous trip to James Bond Island. The boat was very small and there was many passengers ( we were like sardine on top of each other) once we sit in the boat we wouldn’t be able to see the view of the sea due to the small and high windows. The food was terrible. Sorry I was expecting much better transportation and food. The staff were friendly and provide good services. As I said the boat and the food was terrible. I don’t recommend it.”
