    There was a DJ and you could eat and drink during the trip at affordable prices. Very nice. I recommend at sunset for the views.

    I had thought that there would be seats for all guests on the upper deck. At least in the great weather where everyone naturally wants to sit on the upper deck. Unfortunately, we had to stand for 2 hours.

    It is necessary to specify the dock for the boat because the meeting point was empty without indications.

    A special smoking area, because due to the airstream and the inconsiderateness of the smoker, ash would be blown into his face...
