Gaetano is exceptional!!!! We really liked the ride
Nice and very competent, good
Captain is the best! Super funny and very informative! Great music, drinks and fun!!I would come back time and time again! ❤️
Absolutely brilliant. Lovely day. Enjoyed by all. Highly recommend. Michelangelo was a great captain! We loved everything about the 2hr trip. Fruit, Prosecco, swimming, music, beautiful sightseeing
Captain Gaetano made this trip both relaxing and fun. He gave us a smooth and safe ride, while translating history about the landmarks for all of the passengers’ languages. The music he selected started with romantic classics then he switched to party tunes when we kept going. The fruit provided was delicious, the prosecco toast was exciting, and the views were breathtaking. Would recommend this experience to everyone!
Wonderful experience. Mr. Gaetano ( Skipper ) very kind and helpful to small variations of the route. Wonderful landscapes. Absolutely recommended 💪💪💪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best walk! The Gaetano is simply sensational. That was the highlight of the trip. Wonderful!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend!!!

Excellent tour of the caves and around the island and our Captain was very friendly and used Google translate to share his knowledge of the area. All the staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful.
