Sailing trip off the coast of Catania - Friday morning the sailing trip done and had a fantastic time with Yasmine and Davide the skipper. Yasmine has a lot of knowledge and tells beautiful stories about the Sicilian landscape and sea, Davide is a skilled friendly captain with top stories. The snorkeling and the snacks and drinks were delicious. All in all a big 10! Absolutely recommended

Really enjoyed the Catania Boat tour - Joel and Emanuel were fantastic hosts and ensured the group had an enjoyable day. They gave great explanations about some of the history of the area, which I found interesting, and what was happening sailing-wise.. It was wonderful to go for a swim off the boat and we had plenty of time to do that. This was followed by some snacks, which were very tasty, and drinks. It was a great way to spend 4 hours and do something different.

Great tour but overbooked - This is a beautiful boat trip with swimming and delicious Sicilian Hors d’oeuvres and sparkling wine. Captain and crew were terrific. The only downside is that they booked 14 people when seating capacity of boat in shade is 8-10. Also I didn’t see any life jackets and the snorkel equipment was minimal.

A place to visit - Palermo beautiful, Catania regular. We arrived in Palermo and it is really charming, its gastronomy, narrow streets, nightlife, and beaches.... In Catania, I noticed more dirt, and I found it half-fome. Likewise, you have Tous to visit Etna ( Volcano ).

If you value your life do not book this tour. - If you value your life do not book this tour. The captain dropped us off to snorkel in an area with a high current. Other boats had to rescue the passengers. The crew provided very little service and there was only minimal water on the boat. They did not even say sorry or offer water after the rescue. The captain gave only a cursory description of sites of interest. The food provided was average at best. The captain and crew spent most of their time talking with each other. When we anchored to swim the crew were in the water having a fun time on the flotation devices meant for the passengers.
