“Great time! Loved the music selection- they played something for everyone. Lunch was meh only because we are pescatarians so had to settle for pasta with nothing on them. Meat eaters seemed satisfied. Had to wait till food was prepared to get beer or sangria which is included in the price. Otherwise you have to pay 8 Euros. Great opportunities for some great pictures on the catamaran. Also loved jumping from the stern and the locations selected for swimming in the Mediterranean was perfect! Would book again!”
