Nice facilities to chill out on the roof, but also downstairs!

“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. After being picked up by a “VIP” taxi, we were dropped at a very run-down waiting area before boarding the shuttle bus to the catamaran, which felt like a poor start to a supposedly luxury trip. In reality, there were around 90 people on board and it felt crowded and noisy the whole day. We had allocated tables with tight bench seating, and in our case we were seated facing backwards, which was another…”

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.”

Thanks gosh we had an amazing person in the boat buying shots to everyone! That changed everything! We had a lot of fun! The boat was good, the DJ was great and the food was super!
