A 10/10 experience with Mario! From the first contact during the pre-booking process, his professionalism was evident: attentive, resourceful, and attentive to every detail. The boat is spectacular, and the day at sea was unforgettable: we spotted dolphins, snorkeled, and enjoyed the sun while exploring the Catania coast. We will definitely be back, and we highly recommend Mario to anyone looking for the perfect excursion in Sicily. Thank you so much for everything, Mario!

Great trip. It could be even better if we were cruising more with the boat and if the captain was speaking a bit of English.

Tivemos um dia absolutamente inesquecível a bordo do iate do Giuseppe, ao largo da belíssima costa de Catânia, na Sicília. Éramos um grupo de 8 amigos e todos ficámos encantados com a experiência. O barco é confortável, espaçoso e muito bem cuidado — perfeito para relaxar, nadar e aproveitar as vistas incríveis do mar Jónico. O Giuseppe foi um anfitrião exemplar: atencioso, simpático e sempre pronto a garantir que tudo estivesse perfeito para nós. Foi, sem dúvida, um dos momentos mais especiais da nossa estadia em Itália. Quando voltarmos, este passeio será uma prioridade a repetir. Recomendamos vivamente!

Giuseppe was the most fun we have had since we arrived in Sicily!!! He was so caring and gracious. Despite some clouds and a few raindrops, he made our time amazing and entertained us. His boats are amazing and he is such a wonderful host! We cannot say enough, great things about Giuseppe and his crew!!!

The experience is one you wouldn't want to miss on your trip to Sicily. Francesco was very friendly and pleasant to talk to, which made for a great day off the shore. He was prepared with everything you need on board for such a trip and he was also a great teacher for the sailing initiation.
