Really clean and well maintained boat, absolutely no issues there, beyond worth the money. For the most part communication was amazing, we were even texted mid way through our rental to ask if we were having a good time! However the day before we were kept in the dark a little bit about when and where to meet, but after sending an email we were told that information quickly. Great owner, would definitely recommend. The only other negative point was that the marina was hard to find, especially with a car. Building in extra time for that is necessary. Afterwards fuel was €40, which was extremely well priced!

Giuseppe was very nice and helped us a lot. However, I have the feeling that we were overcharged for the fuel (and not just a little). We were asked to pay 70 eur fuel for a one and a hour ride (so excluding the stops). If this is the price of fuel, I don't understand how people can afford to drive boats in this world...

What a great team! Giuseppe was an excellent professional, very attentive and caring, helping and supporting us. When we return to Sicily, we will definitely rent from them again. You can rent without worry.

The communication regarding finding the dock and the boat needs improvement; we only found it after a stranger at the harbor showed us the way. After we finally found the boat half an hour after the rental began, a member of staff (Federico) explained everything to us very well using a translator and also left us another phone number so we could get help in case of problems. He also responded faster than Giuseppe. The boat itself is in great condition and leaves nothing to be desired. However, we got a different boat than the one we booked. The advert we booked mentioned a kayak being included in the price, but this was neither mentioned nor was it on the boat. I don't know if this was because we were rented a different boat than the one we originally booked. The return went smoothly and in a friendly manner. However, it should also be mentioned in the advert that there is a minimum flat rate (20€) for petrol that must be paid, even if the fuel gauge is still above the "Full" symbol, meaning we have hardly used any petrol.

We rented the boat without a license from 9am to 6pm and it was an amazing experience! We arrived late (we apologize again), but Giuseppe was very kind and understanding. The boat was perfect for enjoying the day, easy to handle and ideal for relaxing. A little practical detail to know: the gas is an extra charge, but that's completely normal. Thanks again, we had a great time! ??

The boat is perfect for three people; it's powerful enough for a lovely family day out. Apart from a slight delay in the morning, everything was perfect.

The experience was very good. It was my first time driving a boat, and it's much easier than I thought. It's worth renting to explore the nearby islands and beaches. It's a true paradise. The boat is very comfortable and in good condition, and the fuel cost us €25 extra, which is good. I'm very happy.

It was amazing. The boat was exactly as pictured. Four of us rented the boat for a full day. There was more than enough room! The boat was clean and the instructions were clear. It would be helpful if they could send us the exact location of the boat in the future. We spent 10 minutes searching, but when we messaged the owner, they responded very quickly and clearly. The boat instructor was very friendly and explained everything clearly. We paid €15 for gas for a full day. That's very reasonable! We recommend this boat, and especially this owner, to anyone looking to rent a boat!

The harbour was easy to find. The boat was big enough for our family. Gouseppe and Alessondro were great and service-oriented. The box is beautiful towards Capo Mulini, too bad that this was also the limitation. Enough places to moor to a buoy or drop the anchor. Snorkeling and swimming, great day. Enjoyed. Thank you. Fam. Braun :-)

Speak English. Communication smooth. Good instructions. Helpful. Honesty. You have to know that around €50 in fuel costs are added to the rental price. But that's normal in Italy. Nice day trip in the northern area of Catania. Highly recommended.

We had a great time on board! It is definitely worth a trip! Just very important. The port is not in Ognina as stated in the description. Otherwise everything was great.
