“What an incredible evening!!!! From the moment we got on the boat, the crew was focused on giving us the best experience possible. The boat stopped to let us swim three times and each experience was unique including the volcanic hot springs. The BBQ was delicious including chicken, shrimp, salad, pasta, grape leaves - and they had no issue with my dairy allergy. The evening concluded with a sunset that was simply breathtaking.

“Wow what an amazing experience! The entire crew was incredible, especially Captain Leo. The crew helped with everything from making sure our cups were full, providing blankets for the wind, towels to dry, background and history of every location, to being our personal photographers telling us how to pose and making sure we always captured the best backgrounds and angles!
