This was an excellent cruise with an amazing crew on board (Leon, JP and Juan). As soon as we got on board, a bottle of prosecco was popped open and drinks were served to everyone on board. Drinks continued to be served regularly throughout the trip, we were made very comfortable! Music was played and at a good volume - not too loud, the crew were sensitive about adjusting the volume to suit everyone's preferences - just ask. There was a seat in the sun for everyone - and half of the seats were beach beds on the front deck. We were then briefed on our journey by the friendly and extremely good hunoured crew and asked about dietary requirements - very happy to say that vegan options are available as we didn't know this before boarding. An hour into our journey, we managed to see some long nosed dolphins in the distance and then suddenly came across a couple of dozen common dolphins who came up and swam by the boat, jumping out of the water, playing with us - it was such a fantastic experience for everyone! They like Aphrodite because she is a big boat! We were then driven to the cliffs near the port where we could go for a swim for half an hour before eating some lunch. The water was turquoise and very warm with a few schools of fish around (but not too many). Lunch was either tuna then beef and potatoes or for us vegans couscous with tzatziki then chickpea fritters with saffron rice. It was absolutely delicious!! After lunch we sailed south along the coast - no dolphins spotted this time unfortunately but we couldn't complain and everyone seemed very content simply resting on the decks or looking out at the beautiful views. It is entirely under motor power and there is no sailing involved even though it is a sailboat - however this didn't cause any problem or distract from the whole experience of being on the water. There was one cheesy bit of the trip where they encourage everyone to do a Titanic photo shot at the helm, but if you are lucky like us you can sneak away easily and avoid that experience if it doesn't quite appeal :) This was a really worthwhile trip, cannot recommend it enough. Many, many thanks to the crew on board!!

I originally wanted to do the midday cruise, but that was full but the Jet2 rep Carl said they do a sunset cruise as well (not listed in the tour brochure) so after a bit of thought I booked that instead. All very efficient with pickup not far from my hotel in Costa Calma - just about the furthest place they do pickup - and coach transport to the port. Then on board with a welcome drink and off we went. The cruise was just a mile or so out from the harbour, first going west then back east to near the lighthouse and looping round for a bit, then took a bouy near the cliffs to serve food. The info said 'snacks and beverages' included but this was actually a light meal (see photo) with slightly spiced chicken pieces on flatbread plus some sushi followed by a small dessert. Wine and beer was freely available throughout with the crew all happy to serve us. Fairly loud disco-type music playing at the stern of the boat all the way, but quieter forward so that's where I spent most of my time. There was no actual sailing, it was all done under motor - in fact there was no jib in place, probably taken off for winter maintenance - but it was good to be out on a real sailboat rather than one of the plastic catamarans that do similar trips. Good views of the coast and I saw quite a few flying fish but no dolphins (wasn't expecting to so no disappointment there). As sunset approaced the crew gathered everyone around the bow pulpit for everyone to capture that 'Titanic' moment (cheesy, they even played the film music while taking photos!) with the crew taking pictures for all the couples on board. As a solo I wasn't that bothered but did it anyway with one of the crew posing with me. Then back to port and the coach transfer back. All good fun and I enjoyed the trip. Al the crew were enthusiatic and welcoming, so thanks to Leon, Chris, JP and Itziar for a fun evening.

Absolutely delightful experience. My partner and I (both ages 26) attended the sunset boat trip. One of the best boat trips I’ve been on. Boat was busy but not so packed that you couldn’t move or find a nice sunbed to lounge on or a seat to sit at the back. Drinks flowed nicely, dinner was actually DELICIOUS (a sort of chicken tikka curry on pitta bread, which was so so good, and a little sushi) Very friendly and welcoming crew, relaxed and then later fun atmosphere. We were definitely out for more than 3 hours, everyone was having such a good time! We stopped for swimming, there’s a ladder that leads down into the sea, or you can just jump in! We stopped to watch the sunset and to take some photos and the crew played Titanic and as a huge Titanic fan, it was actually so lovely and funny that I almost cried! They made sure everyone had lovely photos and no one was missed out. After the sun set, the atmosphere changed and we started to have a bit more of a party. This was contained to the back of the boat however, and those wanting to continue relaxing could stay at the front. A party boat would be the last thing I would EVER book, but this little party seemed spontaneous and natural, it really was just the right atmosphere. There was a great DJ, everyone was drinking and dancing, shots were handed out, it really was just perfect. Definitely book this one!! <3

Sunset Cruise was our 3rd time aboard the Aphrodite, and won't be our last. This trip was ta gift from my wife to celebrate my 60th. Leon, J.P, and Lucas helped make it a day we will remember for many Years to come. The atmosphereand food , aboard Aphrodite are always fantastic, and the crew ensure your glass is always full. Highly recommended if you're visiting the Island.

It was a great experience from start to finish! The crew is extremely warm and professional, my mother and I felt that we were in good hands (although the sea was very wild) The food was delicious, enough to drink and the atmosphere was very good - also because the group size and music selection was very well chosen. Thank you Rebeca, Leon & Juani, we would be delighted to be your guests again
