Overview

We offer the opportunity to choose between a morning (09:00 - 13:30) or sunset (16:30 - 21:00) semi-private cruise. Upon arrival you will be guided to the boat where the captain welcomes you on board and offers you a welcome drink (coffee or juice). After a short safety brifing we set sail for Dia in the St. George’s bay. The one way trip usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.
