Super friendly people, allowed to fish, saw dolphins that swam alongside the boat, ate delicious fish. Highly recommended! Authentic boat and experience!
It was a fantastic day on the boat. The crew was exceptional, treating us to refreshing drinks and a delicious lunch made from our catch. The guide was attentive and addressed all our questions and requests. I highly recommend this trip!
I had an amazing time on the trip! Everything went exactly as promised. Our adventure started at the port, followed by a sail to the fishing spot. Along the way, we spotted dolphins and enjoyed drinks paired with donuts. We fished with top-quality gear and even managed to catch some fish. Later, we visited an island with stunning views and a sandy beach, where the captain prepared our lunch using the fish we caught just a couple of hours earlier—delicious! Overall, I was very impressed with the captain, whose passion for his work and pride in his boat shone through. I highly recommend this activity!
