There was a group of 10. We had a private charter and we had the best time. The information we were given was interesting and relevant. The food was great and the drink’s plentiful. The two areas we were taken to for a swim were excellent. Highly recommend booking with this company

Enjoyable morning “sailing” to the island. I was disappointed we actually did not sail! I expected 10 people and there were 14 so a bit crowded. Swimming in Aegean Sea was a treat. The crew made shrimp pasta and Greek salad for us! Lots of wine, beer, water and lemonade.

A great day out! George and Niko were incrediblley friendly and I feel like we became fast friends through the day. The water was cool but clear as crystal, easy to see the fish! The sun was great at drying us off upon leaving the ocean for a fresh made meal which we enjoyed with our new found friends (including the other visitors) on the boat. The island is practically untouched and has only a few buildings. Stunning views all round, throughout the whole trip...

We had a fantastic time on our trip yesterday. From start to finish the whole experience felt really luxurious. We were both unsure if we would feel sea sick but the boat was really smooth and we were absolutely fine. The 2 guys leading the experience did a great job! It took about 2 hour to sail to the island, we then had plenty of time at the island to paddle board, snorkel, swim about and enjoy the peaceful environment. The food was great, my wife has a nut allergy and the catered well for this which was really good. We took an afternoon cruise and the sun set was unbelievable! All around a fantastic trip, incredible value for money, and well worth doing. Would definitely do it again!
