Boat trip

Amazing day , loads to do and it was very fun

via Tripadvisor

Breathtaking

Unlimited fresh good food & drinks. The hospitality and staff was lovely-caring. 2-3 swim-stops, was gorgeous. Most beautiful scenery & turquoise sea. Dropped off at Formentera Port Savina (4 hours explore) Breathtaking, bluest/clear waters at Ses illetes beach, although Formentera is slightly expensive! Port Savina Calima cafe is reasonably priced. Most chilled-out, non-rushed vibe/atmosphere. We are Happy and, very Highly Recommended!

unsanitary cooking gave my partner food poisoning

beware — the seafood paella from the boat gave my partner food poisoning that he is still struggling with days later. its unclear if they abide by any health and safety standards during preparation.

Response from the operator: We are very sorry to hear that your partner became unwell. However, we find it important to clarify that we serve between 6,000 and 7,000 guests every season, and you are the very first guests to report an experience like this. We take food safety and hygiene very seriously, and there is no evidence that the paella was the cause of your partner’s illness. We nevertheless hope he feels better soon.

Overall ok

It was a cruise to get us from point a to b. Water was choppy so if you get seasick, would recommend a larger boat. There are some spots on the top that you can lay in the sun, but make sure to get in front of the line as those spots are limited. Also, they only have a certain number of snorkels and paddles so you have to get in line first to use it or wait till people return. Paella was great and if you drink it's nice since they have beer and sangria on tap. Alternatively, you can get a speed boat which I saw that's bigger and faster or take the same boat but don't do the snorkeling and paella and you'll save money and go directly to formentera.

Bad from start to finish

We booked this boat trip based on the great reviews on GetYourGuide, but unfortunately our experience was the complete opposite. For £75 per person, we expected a well‑organised, welcoming and enjoyable day. Instead, the trip was chaotic, uncomfortable and handled with a level of unprofessionalism that left our entire group upset. From the start, communication was almost non‑existent. There was no clear explanation of how the day would run, no proper safety briefing, and no effort made to ensure all guests understood what was happening. We were told immediately that we were the only British passengers, and the tone from staff throughout the day made us feel singled out and unwelcome. During the trip, we ordered drinks and once finished we handed over our empty cups to a staff member who was collecting them. Later, when we returned to the bar, we were met by Pepe, whose behaviour was shockingly rude. Before we could even ask for a drink, he told us to wait five minutes while he washed up. We stepped aside as instructed and were happy to wait, only for him to immediately snap “What do you want?” and then contradict himself again by saying he wasn’t finished yet when we answered. He then questioned where our cups were and accused us of lying, claiming we had left them on the floor, something that simply did not happen. When we calmly explained they had already been collected, he continued speaking to us in a patronising and confrontational tone. As we walked away, he singled out one member of our group and called them rude. Later, he even us that it was “someone’s face” in our group that he found rude. This behaviour is completely unacceptable from any staff member, let alone one working in hospitality. When we arrived in Formentera, every other group was given instructions on where to meet and what time to return, except us. Despite knowing we were British, staff only addressed the Italian and Spanish passengers, leaving us with no information at all. The lack of communication and the disrespect shown by staff were so severe that we decided not to travel back on the boat. Instead, we had to spend an additional €109 on ferry tickets to avoid further confrontation and to prevent our last day of the holiday from being ruined. Overall, this trip was a major disappointment. The staff were rude, dismissive and unprofessional. The communication throughout the day was unacceptable. For the price paid, we expected a far better experience. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this boat trip and hope the company addresses these issues.
