We had a fantastic day in the water with Michael. The boat was exactly as described and from the initial communication the process was flawless. We were celebrating my daughters 18th Birthday and Michael was the perfect host/skipper, we all had a wonderful day and my daughter remarked that she could not have wished for a better day. I would recommend this boat and Michael to anyone who wants to get out on the water for the day, 5 Star all the way.

Fantastic experience! Patrick made our birthday boat trip for 13 people an absolute dream day. Patrick was extremely helpful with all our prior questions which made the booking experience considerably more straight forward and showed us an amazing day by touring the Cannes bay and surrounding islands. Brilliant day and would happily book again!
