Extremely happy

5.00I eventually chose this option after it was recommended to me, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the decision. From the very beginning, the team was absolutely wonderful. They helped my mum every step of the way with such patience, kindness, and genuine care. My mum has arthritis and both of my parents are elderly, so I was naturally concerned about their comfort and whether they would be well looked after. I needn't have worried at all. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate their needs, making sure they were comfortable, supported, and able to fully enjoy the experience. What touched me most was how kind and considerate everyone was. Nothing seemed like too much trouble, and they treated my parents with such warmth and respect. It truly made all the difference. There was also an incredible variety of drinks, snacks, and food available throughout the day, and everything was well organised and thoughtfully prepared. On top of that, their pricing was very reasonable and offered excellent value for money. Thank you so much for helping make my parents' day so special. Seeing them happy, comfortable, and creating wonderful memories together meant the world to me. They came home smiling and talking about their experience, and that is something I will always be grateful for. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially those looking for a caring and accommodating experience for elderly family members. Thank you again for making it such a memorable day for my mum and dad. ❤️
Great experience

5.00The tour is awesome. However we were flattered by the kind of hospitality provided by the boat staff, they were so polite and friendly, which made our trip even more fun and enjoyable. We were with a toddler and they did everything possible to help us feel home.
Wonderful tour

5.00We enjoyed the whole dining experience. Ribs and pulled pork with all the sides were delicious. Peach cobbler knockout. Doc & Sue will be back!
What a day!

5.00Great catamaran experience! The boat was very clean, the staff friendly and professional, and it was fantastic to have a woman as our captain 👏. The BBQ was tasty, the rum punch and music created a great vibe, and the places we visited were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended!
Decent, but not for families with kids (since drinks are served).

3.00On the first leg, it was awesome going to the locations. On the way back, I would say if you don't drink or are not young and super enthusiastic, this would not be suitable for you (families with kids). It was not the best trip going back, but other than that it was ok.
Brilliant day out, and superb value for money.

5.00Brilliant day on the Catamaran. A really engaged and fantastic crew, with great opportunities for swimming, sun bathing and an excellent barbecue lunch. The only negative is the 1 hour and a half on Il aux Cerfs, which to be honest a a bit of a grotty, overpriced tourist trap. It would be much better to find a quite beach or just stay aboard the catamaran and have a swim.
Unforgettable

ENJOYABLE CATAMARAN CRUISE

4.00Very enjoyable experience even though we felt the time spent on Ille Aux Cerf to short -especially if you do parasailing then there is NO time left to explore the island - maybe leave the fruitless trip to the waterfall as the big catamaran can not get close to the waterfall. We also found it a mission to find your agent Jonathan when we arrived at the departure point and he did not answer his phone neither to us or our taxi driver. As there is many people departing from the same place (but different agencies) maybe it is advisable to make your agent more visible for example with a TRIPADVISOR Tshirt or something else to make him stand out or easily recognizable
