Fantastic experience - Beautiful to redo every year. Staff impeccable friendly and super polite. The boat was spacious and well maintained, with comfortable seating and shaded areas to shelter from the sun. During the tour, we had the opportunity to admire the suggestive sea caves, the ancient city walls and the beautiful hidden coves, with the chance to take a dip in the crystal clear waters.

A lovely tour - Beautiful sunny day with excellent food and company! All food was grown in one of the guide’s garden. Nice and intimate, 4 of us. Was happy to say I was able to swim in the Mediterranean.

Well spent afternoon! - Beautiful trip! Captain Roberto and crew Nino were wonderful and lunch (featuring veggies from Nino’s garden) was spectacular! Several opportunities to swim. The boat is rustic, but don’t let that sway you. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon!

Fantastic afternoon on the water! - Roberto, the Captain, and his assistant Nino were warm and welcoming. There are multiple opportunities for swimming and the views are fantastic! The boat has different seating situations which is nice and the lunch was really tasty. Some of the typical Sicilian dishes came from Ninos garden! Don’t miss this unique experience 🚤🇮🇹

Fantastic tour - This was a great boat tour. Roberto was our captain and Nino was our first mate. They were great! It was a beautiful day and a very peaceful time. There were 11 of us total and everyone was so nice. We were able to swim 3 different times. The water was perfect! The best was the lunch! It was all homemade by Nino’s grandmother! And the wine was flowing! I would highly recommend this tour.

Perfect day, happy tummies. - Not only a lovely boat ride around the waters of Siracusa with a couple of stops to swim, but one of the best meals we had while in Sicily. The skipper was justifiably proud of serving homemade local cuisine. It was all vegetarian but not sure if that was usual or not. The boat holds eight guests and we all become fast friends sharing laughs and swapping travel stories and tips. The wine and prosecco probably helped. It was mid September and the water was about 25 degrees so still pleasant, my wife and I brought our masks and snorkels so get a better view of the fish. Weather was perfect as well.
