Expect a lively, busy boat rather than a quiet cruise.

“Damian was super friendly and helpful about tips about Formentera and Ibiza. The boat was rocky at times (some ppl vomited). So if you have the slightest issue with motion, I highly suggest anti nausea meds. There were 2 stops before Formentera, one for swimming, the other snorkeling and paddle boarding. We had 5hrs on the island quick was ample time to relax and explore. Recommend getting to the boat early to get upstairs seats. Lunch was a delicious paella and salad. Beer and sangria were included at the base price.”
