Wonderful Experience
Nov 2020
Though this was short, Thanks to Thabiet and his team we really enjoyed. Even went for the 1hr long cruise on the Enigma because of Thabiet's excellent customer service.

Lots of fun with witty humour
I showed a friend the harbour along with my girlfriend, so we decided to go for a boat cruise. This was the best price, and a great experience.
