Itinerary

Starting location:
Porto di Giardini Naxos, Messina, Italia
Sailing along the bay of Giardini Naxos
We set sail along the eastern coast of Sicily, admiring suggestive views, ancient rock formations and the unmistakable profile of Taormina seen from the sea. A relaxing route to immerse yourself in the Mediterranean atmosphere, between the scent of the sea and the light breeze.
Passage to the Cave of Love
Nature has given us a wonderful gift and has drawn the symbol of love, let's see who will be the fastest to find the shape of the Heart that in the context between rocks and sea is perfect for a postcard photo!
Sailing towards Isola Bella Bay
You will reach the splendid Isola Bella, an island rich in history and one of the most iconic destinations in Sicily. You can admire its crystalline waters and be enchanted by the contrast between the lush vegetation and the turquoise sea. Easily reachable by swimming and worth a visit
Passage to the Blue Grotto
The most famous of the natural sea caves, sculpted by time and the sea. We will enter with the boat where possible, to admire the unique shapes, the reflections on the water and the magic of the light that filters through the rocks making the seabed light blue.
Passage to the Coral Cave
Sailing towards the Bay of Luxury A themed cave could not be missed, and in this case too nature thinks of everything and gives us a cave full of orange corals typical of the area.
Sailing towards the Bay of Mazzarò
The bay of Mazzarò hosts the most luxurious hotels overlooking the sea and is equipped with a cable car that connects the historic center of Taormina to the fantastic sea that surrounds it.
Sailing to Sirens Bay
An enchanting stop in the Bay of Sirens, among crystalline waters and ancient legends like its fishing village: a corner of paradise where time seems to stand still.
Stop in a bay of your choice for a swim and an aperitif
Depending on the sea conditions, we will anchor in the quietest bay, where you can swim, sunbathe, snorkel or have fun with the SUP. On board, cold drinks, prosecco, aperitif snacks and fruit will be served. The perfect time to relax to the rhythm of the sea and music.

    This was a bad experience. Not only did we have a guide who did not speak any English, we didn't receive many of the things we expected. First, we were the ONLY boat that didn't go into the caves. We were told it was dangerous yet every other boat went in ( about 30 we saw). The snacks were a half eaten bag of potato ships from a previous trip that were stale and damp. Thats it. No fruit, nothing else. We were never offered ANYTHING on the trip. We had to ask at one point and was given a bottle of prosecco. Never offered water or any other drink. Considering our guide didn't speak English, we just gave up. No music on the boat, badly maintained snorkeling gear. We ended up going to another boat nears ours where they offered us drinks and had music. Watching all the other boats being festive and being poured drinks was really disappointing ours was really boring. We didn't get told anything on the tour, all we did was look at the rocks. Our guide also took 40 mins to set his anchor so it was obvious he was new to this boat. ( all the other boats did it in 5 mins). Not what I expected at all. Not worth the money and was completely over sold. Would not recommend. Captain was really nice but out of his comfort.

    FANTASTIC! Everything was excellent. We had a little bit of rain (drizzles) but it was still the highlight of our trip. Marco is so kind and went snorkeling with us because we wanted extra guidance. Seriously cannot say enough good things. Also -the port is by La Sirena in Giardini and their gnoochi is awesome. We saw 2 caves and got 2 swim spots during our half day excursion. Highly recommend this boat and Marco!!!

    Wonderful day on the water with Gaetano and a 30’ Bavaria. Marco ended upgrading us as we had originally booked with him for a smaller boat. Gaetano was a wonderful guide and captain. We had a great day.

    Two weeks in Italy and on the boat with Marco was - hands down - our favorite day! It’s obvious that Marco takes great pride in his boat, as it is immaculate and pristine. He’s also very accommodating and extremely responsive. Book a trip! You’ll be so glad you did!

    Marco was extremely quick to respond during the booking process and we were warmly welcomed at the pier. The motor yacht Eve was very clean, functional and very well suited to our family party of 4 adults. Marco was a great skipper & host and we had an excellent day out on the water, including swimming from the large swim platform, visiting the sea caves, use of the SUP and fishing. Highly recommended

    Incredible experience with Marco that we booked out of Isola Bella and Mazzarò. He is an excellent captain and we had a very relaxed day. Between the cliff jumping, champagne, and relaxation, I can not recommend booking a boat day with Marco highly enough. Thank you again!

    Thank you so much Marco! You are the best captain. We had the most amazing day in Marco's boat. He had floats for our toddler and toys. He also had other floats and a nice paddle board for us to use. He was so kind despite us being the worst customers (we spilled a drink in his boat and lost one of his floats, and he had to dive in about 10 meters to get our lost sunglasses, to name a few) but he was incredibly patient and kind. His boat was amazing and very clean. We felt safe and in excellent hands with him which was very important since we had our toddler. He gave us a tour and explained many things about beautiful Taormina. We hope to be back one day and take another tour with him. Grazie Marco!

    My wife and I booked this boat on our anniversary trip and couldn’t be happier. Marco was an excellent captain and guided us around Taormina to swim and show us the amazing views from the boat. Marco also arranged for a great lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend booking with Marco he was super friendly and very responsive. The boat was in excellent condition

    This was an amazing experience! Marco was fantastic! Marco made sure that we had an amazing day. Beautiful views of Isola Bella and the grottos! We spent a full day out on the water and enjoyed every moment. Marco made our day extra special with his knowledge of Taormina and Sicily and excellent service. I would highly recommend to all! I will definitely be booking again with Marco. 10/10!!!

    Marco was an exceptional host and skipper. The boat was spacious for our family of 4 and so clean and immaculate. Our children loved the paddle boards and knowing our son was a keen fisherman he packed bait and fishing rods and we caught lots of fish which was the highlight of his day. We explored the bays and grottos around Taormina, snorkeled with fish and he took us to this delicious restaurant at Isola Bella. We would highly recommend Marco if you’re looking for a beautiful day on the water in Taormina.

    We spent the day with Marco. He was an amazing host, making sure we had all the drink options and that our drinks were full. We traveled to several bays around the island so we could paddle board, float and snorkel. We had snacks while swimming. We paid extra to have several different plates of tuna, shrimp, calamari with amazing flavors made by Marco right on the boat. He is an amazing chef.

    5 of us and plenty of room on this immaculate boat. Marco was a wonderful host - friendly and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Marco and his boat to anyone considering doing a day trip. One of our party did not have good sea legs and Marco made them feel very comfortable. Never used this clickandboat before and i am very impressed by the experience

    Our half day trip Marco was wonderful. We cruised to the sites (caves, grotto, bay) around Taormina and then spent a relaxing chunk of time anchored in a bay where we swam, sipped Prosecco and enjoyed some snacks (all included). The boat was comfortable and the water glorious. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing time with Marco! The boat is very clean and super comfortable. For a day trip it is the perfect size for 2-4 people. The cherry on top of the cake is that Marco is an amazing chef who made sure we had the best lunches of all of our Sicilian stay. Marco visited the local fish market every day before the trip and ensured we had best fresh fish/seafood! Originally we booked just 1 day but booked another after our first trip after the experience. Highly recommended.

    Marco was a great host and really made our vacation. His boat is fully stocked with a floatie, beach balls, etc. The boat was nice, clean and relatively stable during our excursion. Snacks on board were a nice touch. Make sure you ask him to bring cocktails! They rivaled what we get back at home in New York
