“The day included 3 beautiful swim stops, lounging on the boat, a stop in Hvar and delicious lunch and snacks. The open bar made for a really fun dance party on the way back and the crew and people on board were fantastic. It was the perfect mix of a boat day, seeing some sights and swimming in the beautiful sea. There were some families on board with younger kids but it does get a bit more party vibe, especially by the end of the day with the open bar and dance party so wouldn’t necessarily recommend for families. We were all sad for the day to end, would do…”
