Good to know
- A price marked “from” is the starting price. We confirm the final price for your date and group on WhatsApp before you book.
- The private yacht price is for the whole yacht, not per person. It depends on the yacht, the date and the hours you choose.
- Alcoholic drinks are not included on the night dinner cruise. On the sunset cruise, the wine package includes two glasses of wine per adult guest.
- In winter the sun sets earlier, so the sunset cruise can leave earlier. We tell you the exact time when we confirm your reservation.
