5.00An incredible experience that we will 100% repeat! We rented the yacht for 7 people, originally for 2 hours, but we had such a good time that we extended it for one more hour (and Raydel happily accommodated us). What we liked the most: we were able to connect our music, there was water available on board, and the best part was Captain Raydel. Super friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. He provided fascinating information about everything we were seeing during the tour. He also took us to a perfect spot to drop anchor and get into the water, which was the group's favorite moment. They can take you in the direction you prefer, which makes the experience very personalized. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and memorable. If you are looking for a plan for a group of friends, this yacht is the ideal option. Thank you, Raydel, we will see you on the next tour!
