our captain Samir was brilliant and a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was the highlight, and blew our Cape Town one out of the water.

our captain Amani sorted everything for us and dolphins riding the bow for ages was the highlight ... Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and stopped at 3 different bays, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question.
