Such a great day out on Dario’s boat and with skipper Gabrielle! Even with choppy water we were able to secure a great all day swimming spot. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Marco, completely unforgettable and very special, the boat is impeccable and he provided us with a really complete tour around the coast with stops in perfect places to swim and relax, also he was equipped with drinks and snacks so we were in need of nothing, we not only had a good tour but made a new friend and will definitely be back!!

We hired a boat from Chiara for the day and had a great experience. Communication was brilliant throughout the whole process, and the boat was lovely, with a really nice shaded area which was definitely appreciated! We’ll definitely hire a boat from Chiara again when we return for another trip. Highly recommend!

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 :))

Stromboli, Panarea and Salina are important destinations. A start from Palermo with a city tour before and after the sailing trip is recommended. The relaxed and inexpensive journey by (new) train to Capo d'Orlando is also recommended. By taxi or shuttle you would pay up to €400 per trip. By train it is only €14 per person. There are even taxis that cooperate with the port and take sailors to and from the port for €5 per person.
Stromboli, Panarea und Salina sind wichtige Ziele. Ein Start von Palermo mit Stadtbesichtigung vor und nach dem Segeltörn sind empfehlenswert. Ebenso die entspannte und günstige Anreise mit dem (neuen) Zug nach Capo d‘Orlando ist zu empfehlen. Per Taxi oder Shuttle würde man pro Fahrt bis zu 400€ zahlen. Mit der Bahn sind es nur 14€ pro Person. Es gibt sogar Taxis die mit dem Hafen kooperieren und Segler für 5€/Person dann vom und zum Hafen bringen.
