“Nice quick tour great way to end the day. Views from the water are amazing, fun dancing drinking.”
Start at Drunken Monkey for one or two hours of unlimited drinks, beer pong, flip cup, and dare Jenga. Then visit three or four Prague bars and clubs with welcome shots before ending at a nightclub. The 7:45 PM group offers the longer crawl; the 10 PM option is a shorter pregame.
“Absolutely amazing. I would love to travel again this summer.”
Set out from Morro Jable on a fast boat with a maximum of 50 people, searching for dolphins, pilot whales, turtles, and other marine life. Your crew may include guides such as Miguel, Elisa, Nino, or Luca. Drinks are offered, and the trip usually includes a swim in Jandía Bay.
“Well organised and fun. Staff are friendly and helpful. We were reminded that dolphins are wild animals and there are no guaranteed viewings. But we saw amazing pilot whales and Atlantic dolphins!!”
Cruise Amsterdam’s canal belt and Amstel River in a small boat limited to 16 people. Your English-speaking skipper may be guides such as Joris, Elli, Mark, or Cas, with wine, beer, soft drinks, cheese, and Dutch snacks served along the way.
“An excellent small group tour that takes you in areas that the bigger ships can’t get to. Joris was an excellent skipper and knowledgeable guide. Great selection of nice wines, beers and soft drinks. Very enjoyable and would highly recommend.”
Sail from Port Olímpic aboard a small yacht limited to nine people. Skippers such as Carlos, Marie, Pau, Daniel, and Oscar guide the outing, with drinks, snacks, shaded seating, bow cushions, city views, and a possible Mediterranean swim stop.

Board the Spirit of Melbourne at Southgate for a two-hour brunch on the Yarra River. You’ll enjoy free-flowing beer, wine, Prosecco mimosas, tea, coffee, and sweet and savoury food while passing parks, gardens, stadiums, and Melbourne’s skyline. Check in at Berth 1 by 12:50 PM.
“I loved the experience, the service was great, and all the staff were very attentive!! I would definitely do it again.”
Cruise Capri from Marina Grande on a two-hour small-group boat ride with guides such as Francesco, Antonio, and Lorenzo. See the White and Green Grottos, Natural Arch, Casa Malaparte, Faraglioni, and Punta Carena Lighthouse, then swim, snack, and enjoy wine, prosecco, and limoncello.
“Friendly staff took us to the main sites. We stopped for a swim and had good music and some fun choppy water along the way. They offered us fruit cups, limoncello, caprese cake bite, and water along the way. The only recommendation of improvement would be for staff to have some sort of logo on their clothes or a sign so we knew we were in the right spot to start the tour. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend. It's a great way to see the island from the water perspective and was just long enough.”
Meet at Bayside Marketplace for an evening boat ride past Miami’s cruise terminals, Miami Heat arena, Star Island, Fisher Island, Miami Beach, and downtown lights. Expect music, a bilingual guide, onboard restrooms, and either a standard or premium open bar. Check the sailing length before booking.
“DO NOT BOOK THIS CRUISE! It is advertised as a 2 hour skyline tour and we didn’t even start boarding until about 8:20pm so we did not disembark on time and we were back at the dock by 9:20pm…that is hardly a 2 hour cruise. They also try to get you to go to vacation package seminars, which is not conducive to a relaxing cruise around the bay. When I asked for only half my money back because I obviously only received half of my cruise, they refused to. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere, there are much nicer and cheaper options than this scam.”
Set out from La Lonja Marina Charter for a two-hour sunset sail along Palma’s coast. With up to 10 guests advertised, or as many as 12 under boat rules, you get cava, wine, cocktails, snacks, music, and views of Palma Cathedral from the water.
“Beautiful sunset cruise. Couldn’t be happier with this experience. Staff was friendly & very attentive. Would highly recommend.”
Set out from Estepona Marina with a skipper and crew member for a two-hour search for wild dolphins. You’ll receive a first drink and snacks, enjoy coastal views, and may stop for a swim. The boat carries no more than 12 people, but dolphin sightings are never guaranteed.
“Balade très agréable ! Nous étions peu nombreux alors il y avait beaucoup de place pour s’allonger, s’asseoir et profiter de la vue de chaque côté ! Des en-cas et des boissons vous sont offertes pendant votre balade. Seulement deux petits points négatifs : malheureusement ce jour là il y avait beaucoup de brouillard donc nous n’avons pas distingué, les côtes des pays voisins ni même les dauphins. Et le dernier point c’est que le bateau était en vitesse de croisière, dommage qu’il n’est pas parfois allé plus vite. Sinon très belle expérience et très bon moment.”
Set out from Moll de Mestral for a two-hour private cruise past Montjuïc and Port Vell. Your professional skipper handles the boat while you enjoy cava, snacks, and views of Barcelona from the Mediterranean. Captains such as Philip, Sergio, and Joan have helped make family trips, sunset sails, and first-time boat rides easy and relaxed.
“Sergio our captain ensured our experience was top notch. My family and I had a great time. The views were spectacular. We wanted to swim but the currents were too strong that day, but that ok.”
Join Salt River for a two-hour English-language cruise from Doca de Alcântara. Expect a Moscatel welcome cocktail, Portuguese wine, beer, small local bites, music, blankets, and views of Belém Tower, Alfama, Cristo Rei, and the 25th of April Bridge.
“We really enjoyed this cruise. Very friendly staff who told us about the areas we were passing. Plenty of wine and tasty food on offer.”
Follow an English-speaking local guide through Shinjuku’s Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai. You’ll sample three alcoholic drinks and six to eight foods, from yakitori to local bar snacks, in a small group of up to eight. Guides such as Hiro, Ryota, Ash, and Shuji are known for lively area insight.
“The tour was amazing, Tak from Japan Wonder Online was an exceptional host, he was funny knowledgeable, helpful and all around fun. I learnt that he mainly deals with large groups and we ended up being a tour of one, and he was seamless in being able to cater the experience for just myself. Would recommend to anyone!”

Spend two hours sailing from Ka’anapali Beach aboard Gemini, a spacious catamaran with indoor and outdoor seating, a full open bar, island-style BBQ chicken, fried rice, and sunset views toward West Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Check in by Ulu’s Kitchen at the Westin.
“The whole tour was run so well, the boat was very modern & plenty of room for people to sit and watch the sunset. There seemed to be a lot less people onboard than other tours, and the team were very attentive bring food & drinks throughout so you didn’t have to get up. Would highly recommend!”
A deck, a crawl, a long lunch or a door with a list.
