NOTHING SPECIAL
Overall disappointing experience and, in my opinion, not worth the price of the ticket. Nothing to say about the kindness and helpfulness of the operators, who were very friendly and professional. However, the tour itself offers very little: during the route you do not see any particular places or scenery worth noting and only one bathroom stop is made, moreover in an area that I did not find particularly beautiful.
Considering the cost, I expected a much richer experience, with more stops and the possibility of visiting or admiring more evocative places. Too bad, because with a better itinerary it could be a much more interesting experience.

Best night in Sicily!
We are absolutely thrilled with this boat trip! Before booking we considered several options, and now we are very happy to have chosen this one. Yes, you can find cheaper tours, but this is definitely not a case of saving money.
The boat is spacious and very comfortable: many places to be comfortable, there is a toilet, an excellent stereo system and beautifully selected music. All this creates an incredible atmosphere and makes the trip even more vivid and memorable.
During the walk we were treated to water, champagne, pizza and very delicious arancini. Honestly, we haven't tasted such delicious arancinis in a cafe!
There was a bathing stop in a beautiful place. There were three crew members on board. The captain turned out to be a real professional and was genuinely interested in showing us the dolphins. He took a long time to find them, never gave up and eventually found them! It was one of the most memorable moments of our holiday.
The girl on the crew was very attentive: she offered drinks and treats, took care of the passengers, and along the way told interesting facts about the sights.
We loved absolutely everything. The son said after the trip: "It was the best day in Sicily." And I think we totally agree with him.
We sincerely recommend the evening tour at 6:00 p.m. Sunset, sea, music and stunning atmosphere make this walk truly special.
Thank you so much to the entire crew for the professionalism, care and emotion that will remain with us for a long time. If you choose a sea trip - safely book this particular boat. You won't regret it!

Fun
Very much enjoyed our cruise of the Naxos and Taormina coast. Unique way to see the city and hear some of the history. Pleasantly casual and personal experience for our small group of 8. Some drinks and snacks were provided. Enjoyed the opportunity to jump in the refreshing, clear blue waters! Pick-up point wasn't clear when we got there but we called the number and Sonya had us easily meet at the small temple monument where Antonio found us. With Sonya at the wheel and Antonio as our tour guide it was a very pleasant two hours.

Boat trip
Unforgettable experience! The boat tour was organized perfectly, with a kind, friendly, and always available staff. The sea was wonderful, and the most exciting moment was undoubtedly the sighting of dolphins in the wild: a spectacle that left us speechless. Seeing them swim so close to the boat was a unique thrill. I recommend this excursion. I would do it again without hesitation! 🐬🌊☀️Laura and Nicola

An amazing , unforgettable tour with the best captain and crew.
If you go to Sicily , you just CANNOT miss out on this fantastic tour with Filippo and crew. Just go, book it!!! This was our 4th trip with him. Captain Filippo treats his clients like family, he keeps searching and searching to find dolphins to make your holiday a truly memorable one. He serves free Aperol spritz, Prosecco, drinks, pizza, snacks, it's totally worth it! An unforgettable experience for sure!

It's too nice!!!
We went on this hike a week ago. We were a bit hesitant given the significant amount to invest, there were three of us. And the fear of the scam was strong. The girl who gave information and took care of reservations, if I remember correctly Sebiana, was too nice, kind and convincing not to let go. And we did great! The excursion consisted of several boats, and we happened to be in the smaller one and this allowed us to establish a climate of complicity with those present. The man who was carrying the boat, if I’m not mistaken Francesco, was very kind and professional, and at the time of the aperitif, when the excursion was almost over he started chatting with us telling us a little about Sicily. Cristian, 15, too cute sunny and shy not to immediately steal our hearts, told us everything we saw along the way, including little curiosities and legends. Even though the sky was Covered we could see the dolphins and took a swim in those beautiful waters a short distance from the coast. To begin with spritz in abundance, offered several times, prosecco at the beginning of the trip, excellent focaccia and watermelon of excellent quality served iced. What can I say, I do not recommend this excursion, THE STRACONSIGLIO!! When faced with experiences like this, money doesn't really matter.
