Delightful, beautiful way to be out and enjoying the water! Friendly and easy crew and other guests are ez to socialize with!
A beautiful boat trip along the coast of Taormina. Excellent service provided by Lucrezia, our skipper.
An amazing experience, caption Lulu was very welcoming and informative with loads of interesting facts about the area. After a cooling snorkel we were treated to a delish aperitif and food to finish the trip. Highly recommend!
Lulu was the best! She was incredibly knowledgeable about sailing and the region. We had such a great time, thank you!
We had such a great day on the boat with Lucrezia, or Lulu. From the beginning she made everyone feel comfortable and the whole experience felt really easy and fun. She knew so much about the area, the water, and the history, but explained everything so it didn't feel like a classroom. You can tell she has been sailing for a long time and that she genuinely loves being out on the water. It was around 3/4 hours total with a few other people that were super kind as well. My family and I all had an amazing time, and the day ended up being one of the best memories from our trip. I would definitely recommend booking with Lulu if you want someone who is knowledgeable, kind, and makes the whole day feel special.
Our experience was amazing. Our captain Lulu was so experienced and knowledgeable, as well as friendly to those on the trip. Would definitely recommend and book again
Lulu was a wonderful host and Captain! Knowledgeable and connected well with all of the passengers. Highly recommend her!
Great time in a beautiful place. The captain was so friendly and spoke English extremely well. Showed us so many amazing places to see and swim in.
It was a great experience. I would highly recommend it. The food and the cabin were both excellent. We went to many different coves
We had an amazing time on this sailing tour! Emilio was a fantastic host—friendly, informative, and made the whole experience great. They took us to a few different bays where we swam, snorkeled, and paddle boarded. After swimming, we were rewarded with wine, bread, cheese, pears, and other snacks. Everything was well organized and we highly recommend this tour overall if you’re looking for a fun mix of activity and relaxing on the water!
