10/10 experience

We couldn't have wished for a more perfect day. Captain Giuseppe proved to be a very kind and professional person and his crewmember Andra was the same.
Even when my partner got a bit (sea)sick, they were very patient and they put a priority on how she felt.
The talks were great, the food was lovely and the overall vibe was very relaxing. There also were many opportunities to swim. We had ab unforgettable experience and would highly recommend it.
Wonderful morning sail

Wonderful, worthwhile and great value for money trip on an amazing boat. The hospitality is first class; both hosts go the extra mile, providing a lovely, authentic lunch and their vast knowledge of all things Catania. The water is sky blue and an absolute dream to swim in. Overall, an amazing experience and one I would absolutely recommend. 10/10

We did a six hour sunset cruise around Taormina from Riposto. We were received well by Ivan and his team with great Prosecco, amazing food cooked by Antonella in challenging circumstances and excellent entertainment with their music and ours too on the great music system on the boat. The crew is fantastic, the hospitality first rate and everything is enhanced by their enthusiasm to show you their part of Sicily.
We had a choppy ride initially but once out of the harbour the waters were glass smooth and the rest of the trip was a lot of fun. Some of us went for a swim and had a great view of the Etna eruption on our way back!! Love to do it again. This is pricey but so worth it!!
