“It was a nice sunset cruise with a knowledgeable and hardworking shipper that spoke great English. Maybe the maximum amount of 12 people should be changed to 10 for better comfort, but it was fine this time. The entrance should be a little bit more clear though! We found it by luck :-) Those are small details. We had a great time! Thank you!”
