From the very start we felt confident that this holiday under the guidance of Kevin Akers would be a great success. We had plenty of information about the boat, the route, prices and flight availability which made our final choice simple . We had an amazing time, superb boat with an incredible crew providing first class service- food (and drink) was plentiful and snacks were available if required. Kevin regularly checked to make sure all arrangements were ok and even checked us in for our flights- over and above what we expected . We will be back !!!!
