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!

Lovely experience. Took boat for 4 hours. We took a solo boat which meant we drove it. This was nice as it was private. They offered a speaker for music but we had one. Your charged for petrol at end per Km. They track you by GPS so it's exact to what you drive. It worked out at 74 euro which I though was cheaper than expected but we did stop for a while as we found the dolphins so we watched them which was a beautiful experience. 4 hours might be a little too long for some but it was worth the experience

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.
