“We loved this experience! From the smooth pick up (free shuttle bus for jan thiel) to the organisation of the crew, the drinks and the nibbles, I really recommend this. The captain of the catamaran took us around the Spanish Waters in the bay so it was nice and calm, then out onto the open ocean for the sunset time for about 20 minutes, so it was a good balance of both sailing areas. To note: I usually get seasick and wasn't seasick at all during this, if anyone is wondering for themselves & their ability to do it. The drinks were free flowing, beer, spirits and cocktails and we…”
