    The boat was in very good condition and Alain provided timely and precise instructions as to where to meet. If you are thinking of taking a picnic on the boat, be prepared to be scrutinised on every move as Alain is extremely particular about cleanliness…

    Communication and peace of mind was of extreme importance to me, booking an expensive boat in a foreign country from an online platform I hadn't used before. Jeremy was A+++ in that regard, responding to all of my messages quickly, sometimes within minutes. He's a very kind, professional captain who was patient, flexible and communicative. Great day on the water, thanks!
