  • "Fine trip, nice and quiet"

    Good way to travel. The Agaete harbour is much better accessible and easier to get to than the Las Palmas harbour. Only downside is that there does not seem to be an outside area where you can stand on deck and the windows are covered with a kind of plastic layer that prevents you making decent photos. Did see a pilot whale. Catering is quite limited on board.

    We experienced a trouble free crossing in both directions in comfortable conditions. The help of the crew on the return journey was exceptional taking care of my husband who had broken his leg and had to come on board on a wheel chair. Excellent care and attention.

  • "Perfect"

    We really liked the boat and the trip also. We're not young, I really felt good on the helpfulness of staff. Would highlight the service from Las Palmas to Agaete free bus took us to the boarding place. It is a pity that those who are not familiar with the local conditions, not to call the attention of: do no need to bring up the heavy packages in the passenger compartment can be placed in a locked compartment when boarding, which can be removed immediately, as he gets out of the way. But the staff also helped in the carry too. We can only recommend everyone who requires a comfortable, reliable, fast connections between the islands. Thank you.

  • "Overtocht Santa Cruz naar Agaete"

    De reis aan boord was geweldig. Het klantvriendelijkheid personeel zorgde goed voor ons etc ... Maar we hadden één groot probleem: wij konden de vertrekplaats in santa cruz niet vinden. Het heeft ongeveer 40 minuten geduurd voordat wij daar achterkwam. Negatief puntje is dat er totaal geen wegbewijzering is in de vertrekhaven. Dit kan zeker worden verbeterd. Gelukkig op tijd de boot gehaald, alwas het op het nippertje.

    Very little information about how to get to the port so i got lost. The port is far from Las Palmas and i wanted to travel on the first ferry of the morning but wasn't possible. Ship itself was ok.

  • "May visit to La Gomera"

    the trip was easy to book online, punctual, efficient, quick and the boarding and unloading were well managed. The crew were courteous, helpful well presented, and professional. The buffet service was good, and we saw one of the buffet staff help passengers when they were having difficulty carrying their tray The ship was well maintained and clean but some of the soft furnishings (seat cushions) appeared to be worn and frayed and the hand drier in one of the toilets was not working
