“Brilliant afternoon - we enjoyed every minute of it. Entire crew were very friendly, fun, helpful & professional. Due to bad weather our original booking had to be changed to next day and the operator / Kelly contacted me via WhatsApp and responded quickly too when I couldn’t find location on day (put Float Your Boat Ibiza into Google maps rather than the Viator location). Every age was on tour too - we are in our 30s, there was one child and a 75th birthday celebrated too! Book it & enjoy a great day!”

“Four plus hours on a large catamaran in a great setting. There were a lot of other passengers (30-35 i guess) but there was room for all and still spacious and relaxing with room to lay down by yourself, sit with a few or large group together. Music was played from start to finish, but all music was middle of the road and pleasant for all ages to listen to during the whole trip.

I was apprehensive about the food after reading the reviews, but the food was pretty good. It was well organized, I suggest for you to dress warm as the boat ride was chilly. The staff is efficient and did a great job.”

We didn’t spot the last one, but the rest of the animals that we have seen during the trip were more than enough to make it an unforgettable one!”
