Alessandro was a fountain of information as he explained each of the different rock formations. He provided great food and wine and went out of his way to ensure our comfort.
A really lovely day on our very hot holiday! We sailed around lovely coastline, swam, chatted to the others on our trip. Highlights were snorkelling and seeing so many fishes, and the delicious aperitif and lunch. Plenty of sun, Prosecco, chat! The only issue was that we’d booked a different trip which was cancelled, and there was quite a lot of backwards and forwards with the admin about changing and paying. Alexandro was superb- thank you!
Fantastic day with Alessandro ! Everything was fantastic,we would highly recommend this half day trip!
Positive experience, very helpful skipper. Long swim stop and good aperitif with local products
Wonderful day out on the water!! Loved our experience!! Our captain, Alessandro was fantastic. Swimming in the Mediterranean was perfect!!
We loved our time with Alessandro! It was a last second plan, and he was so accommodating to our family. We had various ages in our group but all felt very comfortable and enjoyed our time. We definitely recommend!!
What an AMAZING day! Thanks so much to our Skipper: Alessandro, for making this an experience to remember
We visited nice places, swam in the sea and had food and drinks on the boat. Alessandro is very friendly skipper.
Alessandro took us for a lovely boat ride to isole di ciclopi. We loved swimming in the sea. The views were breathtaking. His antipasta platter was delicious. And drinking prosecco on the sea in Sicily can not be matched. We can’t recommend this tour any more. It was perfect.
The captain is super friendly, he gave us a lot of historical tour. He is also a good photographer, and the food is amazing!
