Nico and the whole the boat Team were beyond welcoming from the moment I arrived in the boat. Truly an incredible experience with incredible people. From the town locals to the job itself, a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Thank you Nico and your whole family/team for the trust and I hope to see you all again some day!

This was my second time visiting and volunteering with Himare the boat. Himare and this family that you work with will always have a special place in my heart. You get great accommodation close to the beach/center, amazing hospitality by the family and more. As long as you have a hardworking personality and enjoy talking with people, you should be great at the job on the boat and in the offices.

My time with the boat was such a fantastic experience!! Niko, Joni, and Aleka were absolute legends - the work itself was super easy, but the best part was for sure waking up to those stunning views and heading out on the boat! ♥️

Dear Niko, Joni, and Alecka, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you at the boat for an incredible experience. I felt cared for throughout my time there, and I truly appreciated the balance between work and immersing myself in the local culture. This experience will stay with me forever, as I made some wonderful friends and learned so much more than I anticipated, including the history of Albania, as well as some of the language. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone considering it—just go for it! Thank you again for everything! This was so much more than a job!

I LOVED this experience! When you aren't on the gorgeous Ionian Sea playing tour guide and dj, you'll work in office booking or promoting and none of it really feels like work. Himarë is pretty small so you'll get close with the locals and everyone knows the company and family. I felt very comfortable and safe and I would do this exchange a 1000 times over. It was so amazing and SO beautiful.
