Is it worth it?

It can be especially worthwhile if independence matters to you and you want your own group, rather than a shared itinerary, to decide how the time on the water is used. The price is per group of up to five people and includes fuel and basic equipment. In return, you need to allow for a 200 EUR cash deposit, arrive early and accept that departure depends on sea conditions. If you would rather have a skipper handle the navigation, a guided boat trip may suit you better.

💡 TourBookGo tip

One reviewer felt two hours was too short and another recommends four hours to leave more time for cruising, swimming and relaxing. Because the listing shows different duration ranges in different sections, check the exact option before booking.
