“Captain and musician were great The sail was beautiful, really lovely. If you are expecting more than 1 of 4 tapas, or the most basic of drinks - don't bother.

He then asked if we wanted to upgrade to a private tour which we also declined because we were happy with the group rate. When confronted about the unjustified cancellation the morning or the activity, the activity provider admitted it was because there were too few people (we were four in our group). We felt very let down by this unprofessional practice and do not…”
