Incredible day with Adriano and crew. The food was spectacular, the journey very well out together with time to explore, swim, etc. The boat itself is beautiful with plenty of space to relax, sunbathe, or sit at the table in the shade. Perfect - thank you!

Great day out on the RIB! Initially, I have to admit I found things a little daunting, as Andy seemed understandably cautious about letting me charter the boat given my perceived lack of experience. However, once we got underway, I had a fantastic day and really enjoyed the experience. The RIB was excellent, performed brilliantly and was great fun to handle. Andy’s initial concerns were understandable, and I appreciated that he wanted to make sure I was comfortable and capable before heading out. Overall, it was a brilliant day on the water and an experience I would happily repeat. I’d definitely recommend the RIB hire and would use them again.

It was a fantastic experience and I'm so glad we did it. They even included a map of different spots we could stop off at. Boat had Bluetooth speaker so could listen to music and cool box to keep drinks cold. Amazing. Communication was good throughout. Would definitely recommend!!!

We had a wonderful time celebrating my daughter’s birthday on the boat. Stefano and his girlfriend were amazing hosts—so welcoming, friendly and attentive, and they really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. The boat was beautiful, clean and well looked after. A special thank you for taking such good care of my daughter when she felt seasick; they were so kind and reassuring. We truly appreciated everything they did and made some lovely memories. Highly recommend! ️

István was an AMAZING captain and gave our family group of 10 the best day out on the Hvar and Brac coast. Could not have been more hospitable, well organised and professional. He’s also just a lovely guy and went out of his way to ensure we had a lot of fun. Totally flexible and happy to meet your expectations. What a legend!

Our experience with 7 guys on board was really amazing. Justin could answer all our questions beforehand. And the reactions were very quick and clear. The boat we had was stunning, we had enough room to hang around and leave our stuff, and the 250HP engine was perfect to take us along the coastline of malta and go around some islands, really cool driving this one! Instructions were very clear, paperwork went fast, and we came an hour later than the booked begin time, but justin also let us took the boat an hour longer for the day. I would definitely come back and arrange a boat trip the same way we did now!

The Digoin / Roanne Canal is a well hidden secret. Very few other boats. Amazingly friendly and helpful lock keepers, and excellent halt nautiques to stop at....for water, electric and spotless toilets. I was often, the only boat there.
