Your adventure will take place aboard the Horizon II yacht. This traditional wooden boat is 25 meters long and has three decks. You will enjoy delicious local dishes prepared by the crew on the main deck. You can choose between the indoor dining room at the rear of the boat or an outdoor table at the front, where you can enjoy your meal overlooking the ocean.
