“What a fantastic day was had on the Wave Dancer!! Right from the beginning the staff have been super attentive and helpful. Joseph has made the day more than fun with his jokes and made sure everyone had fun - big or small! There was music and singing, acrobat show and a magic show for the children. At the end everyone on the boat joined in to some traditional Greek Cypriot dancing. The bbq lunch was exquisite and the dessert was delicious, drinks were flowing like water - thanks to the hard working staff. We had such a great time, an unforgettable experience 100%!!!”
