Captains such as Guillaume, Lucy, Marc, and Jean-Michel have shared local stories along the way, though your captain may vary.

“I wasn't sure about a solar boat, but I trusted the reviews. They were right! We had the boat all to ourselves. Directions were easy, and the captain/owner of the boat is very nice. He was very informative about the area. The ride was super quiet - no motor noise - just the slight waves and wind in your hair. Loved the unwind. We hung our feet off the boat until they were wet and salty like the ocean. A highlight of our vacation! Lots of shops and restaurants around the port, too. Can not beat this for the price and experience. 10 out of 10.”
