The boat tour was simply unique. Value for money was right here. The owner is super nice and very helpful. We visited very beautiful places (about 4-5 places) and were able to swim there in peace. Lunch was chicken with noodles and salad. Soft drinks were included in the price. PS: Be on the boat early because there are many sunbathing areas on the deck and you have to get cushions first. Otherwise you lie on the hard floor. You can also lie down at the very front, but there is no sun protection there.

Loved this trip as well as the crew!! Went for 2nd time after visited in August 2022 and now again in October 2022. Very good value for money, crew is very friendly and food was great. The boat has a lower deck and on the upper deck pillows to have a relaxing sail while sunbathing. Will definitely recommend it and will see Bayside again next year!

staff were absolutely amazing, I initially was scared to go in the water, they en outraged me and made me feel at ease. the food was gorgeous and the boat was beautiful

Relaxing day at sea visiting some of the clearest and most turquoise seas I have ever seen. Four swimming stops in total. Definitely worth the money.

We loved it! The staff were super friendly and we got to swim in crystal clear waters. Great value for money too.
