“Our catamaran cruise was as good as conditions allowed. Unfortunately, on our cruise day the weather wasn’t good and it wasn’t safe outside of the harbor so we only got to do a little jog out of the harbor. My son loved sitting on the nets getting splashed while freezing himself out. Despite the weather, we had a great time! Cristian and Albert (I think that was his name) were awesome! Super informative and fun! I want to come back to Barcelona and do it again!”

“The catamaran boat party on the Mediterranean was a blast! The music was hype, the guides were fun and engaging, and the weather was prefect! The entire event was a vibe. The fruit was fresh but the bbq was lacking. They could have had better meat for the burgers and offered lettuce and tomato”
