Thank you for the memories! The service was excellent, nothing was impossible. The food was incredible – so much variety every day, different cuisines, we all need a diet after this trip!

M/Y Safira for 03/01-10/01/2021 for 24 pax
I was the booking agent on M/Y Safira for 03/01-10/01/2021 for 24 pax.
It was great. The group celebrated an anniversary of 50 years of one of the clients.
They are so happy and definitely they would like to come again.
Everything was very professional. From the beginning and answers to all our questions and special requests and planning of birthday decorations on the island and special dinner for Christmas and so on.
I never heard the word NO or IT IS IMPOSIIBLE. I was very happy to work with the booking team of the boat.
The clients liked the service onboard — all the crew is very polite and client oriented. They really had a great time.
Surely I and my clients will recommend the boat.

Everything was amazing. Safira was a replacement boat and was brilliant, large, well fitted out with really friendly crew and fabulous food – the best I’ve ever had on a dive charter. Dive guides were lovely and catered for everyone from very advanced to less experienced ~ Everyone had good diving.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Everything was amazing. The crew were brilliant, always attentive. Cabins were amazing and very large. Always a hot shower. The food was very good and as I don’t eat meat they often cooked fish especially for me! Crew always smiling. Diving was great too. All in all : a five plus experience.

For a replacement boat, firstly they were an exceptional crew and fantastic service. Rooms + Shower: best on any trip so far. Crew were so friendly, plus could not be any more helpful. Food was amazing.
