Worst boat trip I've ever taken. Firstly there is no AC and only 2 working fans in the front. The seats are supposed to fit 3 people but 2 people and a new born maybe fit, not talking about the sweating due to lack of air. Boat is lot smaller than it looks in the photo so a lot of people were sea sick due to no air and waves. Also boarding started late and the boat arrived 30 minutes late. Will definitely avoid this company from now on.
