A perfect experience! We asked if we could change the date last minute and Luigi was super accommodating and flexible. The day was fantastic, lots of fab snorkelling spots and beautiful sights to see.

Brilliant! Can not speak anymore highly of the experience. I messaged before hand to say I was planning to propose to my partner and asked if they could help me with getting champagne for the boat ...
