Me and my sisters had the most amazing afternoon onboard the Saver 330 boat with our skipper, Carmelo, and host, Roxanne. Carmelo and Roxanne were extremely attentive and made sure that we had the best service and time onboard. They took around around all the main bays and spots around Taormina and gave us a tour and explanation of lots of the history of the area and the coastline. An outstanding memorable experience! Thank you Carmelo and Roxanne!

We had an amazing time with Ettore (captain) and Naomi (hostess) who were very attentive and accommodating. The boat is extremely nice and had no issues fitting all 8 of us, with standup paddle board provided, along with fruit, champagne and meat and cheese platter.

We had a fantastic day out on the boat, it was absolutely pristine. The staff at Portum were very helpful and even provided free hire of a cooler box and speakers. We returned the boat early (only by a couple of hours) as I was a little sea sick and because of this they didn’t charge us for the fuel. Very lovely people, would highly recommend!

We had a lovely day on board Alex’s boat. He was very accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable day. The boat itself was lovely, it was really big and the staff on board were really polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would do again next time in im Sicily
