The owner was helpful. Help us to reschedule the rental for the next day due to bad weather. The boat was clean, in good condition. The engine was in good condition. One downside, the bluetooth speaker was not working. I recommend the experience.

The catamaran was perfect for our group and our skipper, Stefano was brilliant for the week. He came up with a fantastic itinerary and always went out of his way to make sure we had a great trip.

Our day on the boat with Flavio was the highlight of our time in Palermo. He picked perfect spots to swim, and kept the whole day feeling easy and unhurried. Would definitely recommend!

Our group of 7 had an incredible day on the water with Flavio. The day was very relaxed, with plenty of time to swim and explore the beautiful coastline. Flavio and his team made sure we were well fed and never thirsty :) highly recommend contacting Flavio if you are ever in Palermo.

Get a boat app before you start. The boat has no navigation set nor maps. The area is beautiful with many small bays.

Amalfitana very beautiful, Amalfi and Positano completely overcrowded and lots of rip-offs. Seeing them once is enough. Marinas very expensive and poorly equipped, hardly any and then bad sanitary facilities.
Amalfitana sehr schön, Amalfi und Positano völlig überlaufen und viel Nepp. Einmal gesehen reicht. Marinas sehr teuer und schlecht ausgestattet, kaum und dann schlechte sanitäre Anlagen.

We sailed around the island of Santo Stefano. In the south of the island there are beautiful bays for swimming. In the north, between Stefano and La Maddalena, the sea was very rough today
