An absolutely amazing adventure! Our family (my husband, our two teenagers, and I) had a fantastic time. There was a slight change with our reservation—the boat we originally booked on the website was unavailable, but the owners handled it very smoothly and promptly offered us a great alternative. Everything else was top-notch! The skipper went above and beyond: he picked us up from the port in his car and drove us back safely after the trip. Onboard, he was joined by his wife, and together they were the most welcoming, warm, and friendly hosts. They prepared a wonderful spread for us with alcoholic drinks, juices for the kids, delicious snacks, and fresh watermelon and pineapple for dessert. Great music, a very cozy vibe—it felt like spending a day with good friends. We went snorkeling, explored a cave, looked at the fish, and had a blast riding the board towed by the boat at speed! We loved every minute of it and highly recommend them!

A private boat tour with Giuseppe is truly one of the highlights you can have in Palermo. If you want to see Sicily from its most peaceful angle, in great company and with a delicious aperitivo on board, this experience is perfect. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely return.

we had the best boat ride for my best friend’s birthday with Giuseppe and Piera - they were so kind and accommodating to all of our needs. We had lots of fun swimming, dancing, tanning. Honestly one of the best parts of my friend’s birthday trip here and I can’t imagine it being any better than this. I would definitely recommend going with them if you are in Palermo and are looking to do a boat trip.

3 friends and I had an amazing day with Fabrizio on his sailboat. Communication and organization was quick and easy, historical information provided was informative, and we were blessed with wind allowing us to sail! He generously provided us with arranged transportation back to our accommodation as well as a dinner recommendation and reservation that was the best we have had in Sicily. This was our favorite day in Palermo!

Arenella is a quaint port village with a nice marina bar. There are some nice beaches to sail to nearby (e.g. Mondello) and the scenery is excellent.
