About the experience

A full day at sea is the perfect way to explore the best of the Palermo coast and experience the Mediterranean with more time, freedom, and intensity. This full day is designed for those who wish to discover bays, nature reserves, cliffs, and hidden corners of the coast, with the option of alternating sailing with swimming and snorkeling stops amidst breathtaking scenery.

The itinerary is variable and can be adapted by the captain based on weather and sea conditions and guests' preferences, creating a pleasant and tailor-made day. Possible destinations include the splendid Bay of Mondello, the evocative Capo Gallo Nature Reserve, Isola delle Femmine, Capo Zafferano, famous for its cliffs and clear waters, and Cala Bella, with its fascinating sea cave. For those seeking an even more complete experience, the island of Ustica, renowned for its rich underwater life and the charm of its marine reserve, is also an option, weather and sea conditions permitting.

It's an ideal experience for those who want to spend a day relaxing, enjoying nature, and exploring one of Sicily's most beautiful coastlines.

    What a fantastic day for the kids and us. Great communication, the boat was fantastic! A quick tip when using the boat: keep an eye on your fuel ?? A nerve-wracking return trip, but we made it. Highly recommended!

    Upon arrival, we were assigned a different boat because the one we had booked was broken. The anchor was very small and didn't have a chain, just a rope, and when we retrieved it, it came loose from the carabiner. We paid to have it replaced. The staff was very friendly, especially Gioseppe, who understood our situation.

    The staff were welcoming and informative, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy the experience, not because of them. However, I found that leaving and re-entering the port was a rather tricky maneuver.

    We were very disappointed with the welcome. We arrived on time and had to wait 20 minutes before an employee came to prepare our boat. The employee did not speak a word of English and explained to us very briefly how the boat worked, which was not even the one we saw on the reservation. It was our first time driving a boat, which was quite complicated at first. In addition, we did not receive the snacks promised by the person we were chatting with on Whatsapp. Apart from this disappointing welcome, the experience was pleasant. I recommend Mondello beach for mooring.

    Fabio was great and helpful ! He helped us operate the boat and gave us tips. Welcome gift was appreciated. The only point to mention is the lateness and the times announced disnt match the ad.

    We were welcomed by Mauritzio with croissants, a bottle of water but above all a smile. Despite the bad weather Maurtizio helped us find solutions. We were still able to take our boat tour thanks to his patience. I highly recommend it was a wonderful experience. Thank you Mauritzio !!!!!!!

    The dinghy was top notch, the only thing that didn't work properly was the radio that didn't turn up the volume. For the rest the value for money is excellent. Some small misunderstandings at the end resolved impeccably thanks to the GPS! I recommend it!

    We had the best afternoon with Andrea on the boat! The price for what you get is amazing! We got picked up by car and had coffee, beer and snacks on the boat for free! Andrea was the most amazing skipper. He was very skilled and we felt safe all the time. He showed us all the nice spots and we had so much fun we booked the boat two days later again with him as a skipper! We were 4 girls and it was the best time! Highly recommend!

    In addition to the Saver-540, a Yamaha-Asoral 100 inflatable boat was delivered. But I was very happy, a nice new boat. Excellent staff, starting with Fabio-Maurizio and ending with Pietro. Well done and kind guys. To conclude: we had a lot of fun with a nice welcome and let's not forget the price - excellent! Thank you

    Honestly, the boat ride was great, as advertised, a little problem starting with the fuel cans had to do 10-15 minutes of tinkering because the engine wouldn't start but after all everything was back to normal.

    You will be surprised to find breakfast on the boat offered by the owner for all members of the rental, small gestures that make you want to leave again. Excellent quality/price ratio, excellent indeed, I'm really happy and sure to rent with them again Thanks for everything
