“A disappointing experience! We paid a lot of money because we were initially told that food, drinks, etc. were included. Once there, we were told that we could only receive Cola, the owner asking us for 100 dollars for a drink, although it was included in the offer. We refused, and once we got on the yacht, we only received a bottle of water. The guide was not very communicative, and the boat was not very clean. In conclusion, we do not recommend the experience!”
