Cruise Berlin’s Spree at sunset on a quiet solar catamaran with skyline views, multilingual audio, snacks, and wheelchair access.

“Very relaxing way to spend the evening after a whole day of walking around in the sun. We were greeted with a glass of water with what I believe was elderflower syrup. The workers were all very nice, drinks were not extremely expensive. The ship sails smoothly. You see a lot of iconic Berlin sites and the audioguide informs you on a lot of interesting details. Definitely worth your time and money”

Cruise from Vilamoura to Benagil Cave by catamaran, with coastal views, cave visits, a drink, swimming, and chances to see dolphins.

“We had a fantastic day with captain “Bill” and his mate “Chill”. They made sure everyone was enjoying their day multiple times during the trip. It wasn’t safe enough for us to go into the big cave to see the entire hole in the roof but they took us as far as they could which was plenty for us to see the hole in the roof. They were both very knowledgeable, kind, polite and happy to answer any questions. We highly recommend this trip!”
