Great day with my wife - We had a great private boat excursion with Giovanni, exploring the beautiful bay of Taormina. Giovanni, a local, shared his knowledge of the area's history and made the trip even more special. His English was excellent and he was easy to get in touch with before the trip, answering our questions and helping us arrange everything smoothly.
During the tour, he took us to beautiful viewpoints and swimming spots that we wouldn't have found on our own. The boat was beautiful and made the whole experience feel luxurious and relaxing. We had a fantastic day, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to enjoy Taormina from the water with a knowledgeable and friendly guide like Giovanni.

Romantic day on the water learning about Taormina's secrets - Lovely day out on the water learning more about gorgeous Taormina. We rented the boat just for the two of us and it was a delightful experience. Giovanni was lovely and took good care of us.

Unforgettable afternoon!! - My wife and I booked this as a couple’s cruise. It is well worth it. Giovanni went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable!
From the very start, I appreciated his clear communication on the meeting point. Onboard Giovanni was attentive to us and made us feel extremely welcomed. Added bonus- the boat is beautiful!
His hospitality shined through in each stop along the way, even asking our preferences on whether we wanted to swim for longer or explore the coast more. It truly was such a relaxing, safe, and fun time and an experience that we strongly recommend!

Great boat trip - We had a great afternoon boat trip with Giovanni on his beautiful boat, taking in the amazing views of the coast to Taormina. We enjoyed great music, prosecco and a fruit platter in between swimming in beautiful waters and hearing about the landmarks we sailed by. A very memorable trip and one of the highlights of our holiday.

The Best Day! - Absolutely fantastic day on and in the water with Giovanni at the helm! We had the best time. He was so professional, took us to the best spots with crystal clear waters, served beautiful fresh fruit and chilled Prosecco. He shared his vast knowledge of the region and landmarks. The boat was fabulous, too. Lots of room to move about, sunbathe and dive/swim. Thanks Giovanni, for a really wonderful day!!

Wonderful trip, Great experience! - Giovanni was a great captain and tour guide taking us to the most beautiful places on the coast. Goivanni was extremely welcoming, patient and kind. He accommodated all our needs from the safety of the trip to all the fruits and beverages available as well. He sat and explained every region we sailed across, as well as provided equipment for snorkeling. On top of that he gave us great recommendations for restaurants and bars all over Sicily.
Thank you so much Giovanni you were great and we really appreciate you!

Day on the water - Giovanni was a great boat skipper for our 1/2 day tour. Slow pace with several swim stops. The water is very salty which allows for you to float in the crystal clear water with no assistance. The kids would have liked to go a little faster at times but all in all a great day.
Beware the taxi rides to and from Messina can be quite pricey but we were assured of getting back without hassle and that was helpful. Cash is better as if paying by credit card you may be subject to a 10% surcharge.
