Our boat captain, Jian Luca, was a fantastic boat captain & knew the area so well. He kept water flowing & stopped for us to have a fantastic swim while he made lunch for us. Lunch was a wonderful caprese salad, pasta, wine & beer. The sailing lasted almost 7 hours & was just beautiful. This experience was more than worth the value - just fantastic!”
