We had the most amazing time on the hydrofoil boat experience yesterday! The capability of the boat was truly incredible to experience, smooth, powerful, and unlike anything we’ve done before. What really made the trip though were the two crew members. They were genuinely lovely, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease the entire time. A unique, memorable adventure that we’d highly recommend to anyone, we’re still talking about it!
Great vessel...with beautiful decor....wide windows ro enjoy the view....awesome ride, very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Unable to find the staff at the designated area as advised to meet up. Missed the trip. Very disappointed
Absolutely flawless blend of adventure, innovation, and comfort from start to finish! The hydrofoil felt more like flying than boating—fast, smooth, and truly unique. Every detail was immaculate, right down to the sparkling clean windows, which made the views even more breathtaking. The ingenious, environmentally friendly design shows real thought and care, and the crew were incredibly professional, super cool, genuinely expert, yet warm and real. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
