“This was my second catamaran tour in Mykonos. I would strongly recommend this company more so than the other one in a different bay across the island. This was easy to find, they had port pick up from my cruise ship and brought me back to the port at the end of The tour. The food was wonderful. The crew was amazing and the experience was very relaxing and enjoyable. We had plenty of time to swim like two hours, maybe 2 1/2 hours in one location. It was awesome. You can even go on Shore and explore the island.”
