This was a fantastic experience overall. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a wealth of local history throughout the tour. We had the chance to observe marine wildlife and enjoy wine and traditional cake in the sunshine, which added a lovely touch to the outing. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in a more authentic and historic experience. However, those prone to seasickness should be aware that the boat is less stable than modern catamarans, though this also contributes to its historical charm.
