This was such an amazing trip. The boat was perfect with a small group of about 14 people. The food was amazing. We had plenty of time in the perfect sea water. The experience at Queens Cave was very special. Sipping my Aperol Spritz, cruising along with perfect music brought happy tears to my eyes. I highly recommend this experience
Nice boat tour, food was great and they accomodated gluten free food for me. Very nice hosts.
The BEST day ever. The experience was amazing. We had plenty of time in the water and the food and drink was really great
The boat ride with Angela was just what we were looking for. Cocktails, sun water and some great Sicilian treats to go with it. We got plenty of time in water to snorkel and swim. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was they were not very with my disability. I don't know the ADA laws in Italy. All in All great experience
This was such a great experience for our last day in Palermo! We especially loved that this is a family-run business. We actually wish they advertised this more because it really makes them stand out, and we would choose a family-owned business any day. The hosts were so welcoming, kind, and responsive throughout the entire experience. They provided us with so many different food items, took us to beautiful spots for swimming, and gave us a great tour. We had such a fun day! One thing to be prepared for is motion sickness. The water was pretty choppy on the way to the first location, so if you are prone to getting seasick, I would definitely bring LOTS of medication and be prepared for it. It was tough for me, even with medication, but the hosts were incredibly kind and helpful in making sure I was comfortable and felt better. They were so understanding and genuinely went out of their way to help, which I really appreciated. Despite that, we still had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend this experience!
Lovely day on the boat. The hosts were very attentive. A fun outing and the sea was warm and beautiful
After going to Dublin, Rome, Palermo, and Milan, this was by far the best experience. It’s a family owned business the dads name is Alberto and the sons name is Luca ( like the Disney movie) it was my husbands birthday so we asked for a cake and it was the best cake I’ve ever had. It was amazing!!!!! My son has a heart condition and they helped him in and out of the boat every time. This people are amazing ! The food was 10/10. Can’t wait to do it again.
Excellent itinerary for the short trip . 2 times also included local food tasting on the boat. The boat is equipped with great water toys for snorkelling and fun . The staff is super friendly and nice they do care a lot about the guests
We had such a fun day out on the boat with Angela and team! They were amazing taking photos and providing a delicious spread of Sicilian treats and made amazing limoncello spritz's! We had a great time with the other guests and the water was beautiful!
Amazing! We were a group of 10 from America. We had a great time! Couldn’t recommend more! Alberto and his crew were the best!
