Amazing and best part of our visit in Palermo - We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our boat tour in Palermo, thanks to our incredible skipper, Giuseppe! From the moment we stepped onboard, he made us feel welcomed, safe, and completely at ease. Giuseppe was not only a skilled and professional captain, but also warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty of Sicily from the sea. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a relaxing and fun day—taking us to the best swimming spots, sharing local stories and insights, and even offering delicious snacks and refreshments along the way. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, making the entire experience feel both luxurious and authentic. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Palermo. If you’re considering a boat tour, we can’t recommend Giuseppe highly enough—you’ll be in great hands! Grazie mille, Giuseppe, for an unforgettable day on the water!

Palermo In Boat - If you are in Palermo and are looking for a unique experience, take a boat tour with Palermo in Boat. Food and drink are provided in a beautiful setting. Host Angela and Captain Alberto were great hosts and made sure we had everything needed for our half-day excursion on the crystal blue water. Thanks for a memorable day!

Favourite part of the trip! - Views were amazing! One of our favourite parts of our trip. The boat was larger than we expected with full facilities. Gus was a great guide. Very friendly and informative. We got extra time on the tour and had some amazing homemade cannoli/chips and snacks and champagne. We weren’t able to go into the caves because the weather got rocky, but better safe than sorry! Was a lovely fun day.

Great boat trip with Captain Alex - My friend and I booked this boat tour not really knowing what to expect but it was the best day of our trip! We were on the boat with 3 others and Captain Alex made sure we had fun from start to finish. He let us connect to the speaker to play music and explained the history of everything we saw. We stopped for 4 swims in 4 different locations including a cave which was really cool. We had traditional cannoli and Prosecco which was a lovely touch. Would really recommend this trip to anyone wanting a small group and personalised trip.

Best experience in Palermo - This was for sure our best experience in Palermo! My friend and I had a great time exploring the islands with Alberto and two other guests. Alberto is super friendly and knowledgeable about the islands around Palermo. We highly recommend this boat tour to everyone. Be ready to swim, sing, dance and enjoy the fantastic view.

Beautiful boat tour with swimming and snorkeling, water fabulous. - Very nice boat tour guide also spoke good English and we understood him too. Unfortunately, you could not book German but English went as well. Great stops were made with wonderful turquoise blue seawater. Wonderful for bathing. You could swim at the stops for bathing from the boat and also to a cave and grotto pure in it it was beautiful.

Don't bother - I received a phone call that morning from someone who worked for the company asking me why I was late. We were supposed to be there at 2:30. He then realized he called the wrong person. After spending €40 on a taxi to get there by 2 o'clock we were informed that our boat was broken. (?) They didn't even have the decency to call me which of course they had my number since they had called that morning. We were very disappointed in how everything was handled. They ended up canceling and hopefully we will receive our money back via TripAdvisor. We then paid €55 to join another boat tour that they were offering at 3pm
