“Personale gentilissimo e super disponibile: eravamo tutti in ritardo quella sera a causa di un traffico spaventosamente più intenso del solito, e ci hanno aspettato. Il capitano ha dovuto riadattare un po’ il giro, avendo perso mezz’ora di tempo, ma l’esperienza è stata comunque bellissima! Ci è stato offerto il porto tonic (piuttosto buono) e snack di vario tipo (non formaggi però). Ho gradito molto la possibilità di mettere la musica che più ti piace collegandosi alla cassa Bluetooth presente a bordo. La barca è molto bella e confortevole e le spiegazioni del capitano sono state molto interessanti ed esaustive. Grazie mille!”
