Lilycancook: San Remo romantic dinner cruise

I had a wonderful dinner cruise on a yacht on Saturday and I wish to share this experience . And of course there is great food served on board cooked by Chef Melvyn, ambassador for San Remo.

I won this trip along with 2 couples after purchasing some San Remo products

The trip starts from One 15 Marina Club

where the yacht Ximula is berthed there.

We are welcomed aboard by Natalie, from Alphico Marketing Pte Ltd.

On board we removed our shoes and are shown around.

Chef Melvyn and his team are already busy preparing our dinner which he has specially planned for.

We enjoyed champagne on the deck in the sunny afternoon skies ( with some dark clouds) and a briefing done by Ximula crew and a welcome by Chef Melvyn.

Relaxing with champagne

All the ladies received a lovely rose bouquet

It's a very thoughtful touch to kick off the romantic cruise

Wind in our hair!

Fruit and snacks basket for us to snack on before dinner. Cold drinks too.

Our itinerary included going to the islands St. John, Kusu and Lazarus Island.

Enjoying the sea view with romantic love songs being played

We had time for fun before dinner at 7pm

So most of us gamely went into sea after donning our life jackets. We used the kayaks and paddle boards.

That's me at the back!

Soon the sun set and we were seated after the tables were transformed

Wine was served to compliment the delectable dishes prepared by Chef Melvyn and his team . We understood it wasn't easy cooking on choppy waters.

San Remo has thoughtfully allowed us to choose what we wanted to eat and Chef Melvyn came to explain to us how some of his food were prepared and he used the freshest ingredients. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
