From the transport to the boat to the delicious lunch, they provided a wonderful day – unanimously our favorite excursion of the cruise. Both guys were very helpful and full of knowledge. We learned afterwards that this was one of the few private catamaran cruises – it was definitely worth it to us to have the boat just for our group of six. A great day!
