We had the best time ever on our boat trip with Giuseppe!! Honestly could not have asked for a better skipper he showed us some AMAZING spots to swim and chill and snorkel and was so friendly and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out to see the beautiful Sicilian coast, it was the highlight of our trip :))

Guiseppe and Piera were amazing hosts. The boat was beautiful, comfortable and perfectly sized for six of us and we had a phenomenal day exploring the waters around Palermo. We were even treated to some home made limoncello and some snacks- 5 stars would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day trip. Grazie mille Guiseppe and Piera!

We had the most incredible boat trip with Paolo and Alessio. From start to finish, the service was truly exceptional and they went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. They made us feel relaxed and looked after the entire time. The boat trip itself was absolutely beautiful, but what really made it special was the hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble, and they consistently exceeded our expectations in every way. I honestly cannot recommend Paolo and his family highly enough. If you are considering booking with them, do not hesitate — it was one of the highlights of our trip and an experience we will remember for a very long time.

For an authentic day along the Sicilian coast, I highly recommend Fabrizio his gorgeous sailboat. Going a bit outside Palermo for the experience was well worth it + the prepared lunch on board was perfect. Easily the highlight of our trip - thanks Fabrizio!

Giuseppe and Piera hosted a fantastic day on their boat for our family of 4. They are professional, friendly and generous, and provided delicious snacks and drinks throughout the day. A day or half day on their boat is the perfect way to see the Palermo coastline and enjoy swimming and snorkelling. Highly recommended. Grazie Giuseppe and Piera!

Riccardo and his colleague Sergio where perfect hosts for myself, wife our daughters and their partners. They were on time, warm, welcoming and provided a perfectly relaxing day spent along the coast west of Palermo. Throughout the booking process Riccardo was responsive and clear in this explanations so that there was no confusion. He took photos and videos of the day helped my wife and daughters get to the front of the boat for the sunbeds and provided shade on the back of the boat for myself we dropped anchor off Mondello beach. The food and drinks were excellent, there was the free use of a paddle board which the younger members of our party could use and the ladder to get our of the sea was very easy to use - I have used smaller boats previously where this is not the case and anyone over 50 would struggle to get out of the water. I'd certainly recommend sailing with Riccardo if you are in the area and looking to sail from Palermo.

Arenella is a quaint port village with a nice marina bar. There are some nice beaches to sail to nearby (e.g. Mondello) and the scenery is excellent.
