I truly enjoyed my time at the boat. The tasks were easy and very clear. The accommodation was clean and there's some kitchen equipment to prepare meals. You do need to be flexible, since the shifts may differ time from time, and are revealed the night prior. Unfortunately, I wasn't around in high season so I didn't help that many costumers. Hopefully I am able to come in high season next year to experience the boat at its best. Thanks to everyone at the boat, I whish you all the best! Falemenderit!

Best volunteering in the boat! Originally planned to stay two weeks but ended up extending my stay 2 weeks more because I loved the place and the people, the tasks were easy and fun some days on the boat as a tour guide, others in the office handing flyers giving information and selling tours. The house is super comfortable, right in front of the beach, and you get weekly allowance for groceries, the locals are very friendly and it's super easy to make friends around , huge thanks to Niko for the opportunity and to captains Yoni, Cristo, and George for making every boat trip unforgettable!

Volunteering the boat was one of the most incredible things I've ever done! The team were fantastic and so inclusive. When I started working I was very shy but after a week of volunteering here i noticed a huge improvement in my confidence with public speaking and I'd love to see how much more growth this company would bring if I were to have stayed longer. I'd recommend this opportunity to everybody! Himare has a beautiful coastline and I feel so lucky to have spent my time there either this company. I miss the whole team already and I would definitely return if I ever got the chance 🫶🏻

The work was easy for about 5 hours a day, guiding tours or helping in office. A highlight was joining boat trips when there was space, exploring stunning landscapes that are truly priceless. The apartment was excellent, close to everything, and a weekly food allowance. Dea and Niko were always kind and open, and the captains Joni, Cristo, and George made me feel very welcome. Locals are so friendly, making the experience more special. the boat itself is a gem. I'm really grateful for this opportunity, I would love to come back, and highly recommended to everybody! Was unforgettable, thank you ❤

The opportunity to work with the boat was a complete dream. Niko and Dea are so welcoming and helpful. Anytime we had any questions they would help us within a couple minutes. I felt valued and respected and like I was a part of a true family. The work feels easy. If you like to talk with people and can feel comfortable selling some tours in a true and genuine way, I highly recommend this volunteer opportunity. I hope to be back some day working on the boats and in the office again, but especially for Niko and Dea. Aloha! 🌺
