5.00I love the water, and I knew that I would enjoy this outing, but I think this was the highlight of my family's trip. The crew really go out of their way to take care of you, and to make sure that you have a good time. They provide a fresh breakfast with juice and coffee, they cook a lunch on the boat that was some of the best food we had during our entire trip, and a dessert that I heard was delicious...but I missed it because I was enjoying those aqua blue waters to my heart's content (no regrets). I have never in my life experienced beaches this beautiful, and the history of Gramvousa Island is fascinating. All of these things, combined with plenty of wine/beer, and a wonderful group of people from so many different places...it was the perfect way to spend a day! I hope to do it again. Please, if you even think you might have motion sickness...put a patch on or take your medicine ahead of time. My son was sick on the way out to the beach, but he recovered fairly quickly. The crew was great at giving him tips on how to get through it, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Worth the money!

5.00So happy I booked this smaller lux Catamaran tour vs. the bigger boat with dozens of people. It's worth spending the extra money. The max on this CAT is 22 people so it's intimate and personal. Captain Yannis was great, very skilled & experienced. His crew was wonderful as well. We had a windier day so Captain Yannis broke out his dinghy to get us 40' to shore & back safely. The beaches were beautiful and getting there early on this tour meant when the crowds of people are off loading their vessel by the dozens, you're boarding your sailing CAT and heading out to the next beach! We chose the early tour at 8:30am for this reason and it did not disappoint! If you're prone to seasickness wear a transdermal patch, works wonders! Or take "non-drowsy" Dramamine. This one girl on the boat could barely keep her eyes open between her instagram selfies lol, but she wasn't sick!
Amazing!
