Beautiful boat tour along the coast of Catania - With fantastic, almost midsummer temperatures (25 degrees) we have a
beautiful boat tour along the Cyclops coast of Catania. Giovanni was the perfect skipper and Sophia, the perfect hostess, who had spoiled us after our bathing and snorkeling stop in front of the volcanic nests off Acireale with a typical Italian aperitif (Sicilian sausage, cheese and other delicacies). Giovanni and Sophia have told us a lot about the history and culture of the coastal strip and answered us with their likeable nature all our other questions.
Sophia and Giovanni are the perfect hosts and have made this boat trip with their warm nature only a perfect day of vacation! We really enjoyed the boat trip together with the two of them! Always happy!! 😊😊☀️☀️
It couldn't be better!
See you soon!

Great Sailing Experience - We had the best time! Joelle was funny, kind, and a great guide. He gave us great information about the area. We really enjoyed the Prosecco and snacks. We were even able to take swim and the water was so warm. We tried snorkeling but there was not much to see. We did however see a lot of jelly fish and dolphins while on the boat. It was such a beautiful day. Thank you so much :)

Catania afternoon Delight! - Our Skipper was so kind, caring and full of information. For a friend I was traveling with, the second half of the trip was a little unpleasant! She had never been on a boat before. She got sick, so I stood next to her and put my hand on her back. Our skipper (can't believe I'm not remembering his name), came over and steered the boat from where we were standing. He was so protective and cared for each and every one of his passengers! Great Trip

Don't forget your cash! - Our morning got off to a bad start because, having paid for the trip online, I didn't read the fine print that we needed to pay €10 extra per person (in cash!) So we had to go looking for an ATM and it was half an hour by the time we found one and got back to the marina. Everyone who was coming on the boat with us was delayed by 30 mins. This money does not go to the captain or crew member but is an extra company cost so don't confuse it with a tip!
When we did eventually set sail however, we had the best time! The weather was amazing, the food and drinks were very tasty and stopping for some swimming and snorkelling was very welcomed. Joe was a brilliant guide and gave us so much information about the coastline too. I'd definitely recommend to a friend but do not forget the cash!

Romantic boat trip. - Very nice people, helpful and chatty.
They really looked like they were having fun doing this job, nowadays you rarely see that.
A beautiful jumping place for swimming and diving.
Unfortunately there were no dolphins but maybe next time!

Sailing with Sicilijng-Team - This morning I made a sailing excursion starting from the Nautical Port of Catania to get to the Faraglioni dei Ciclopi, after admiring the caves of the Cyclops. Upon arrival, after docking the boat, Commander Franz, with his assistant Joel, invited us to take a swim in the beautiful waters of the sea by equipping us with a mask with snorkel and fins. At the end of the beautiful swim in the company of other tourists, Joel prepared an aperitif with local Prosecco and with DOC delights: cheeses with pistachio, Nebrodi salami, dried cherry tomatoes with pitted black olives, slices of bread spread with pistachio cream, tuna and olives of all kinds. I recommend everyone to take this sailing trip because it is not really worth it. Thanks to Commander Franz and his assistant Joel who, by the way, spoke fluent English. Hope to come back next year!!

I enjoyed every minute of it - Very excellent tour on the sea, with an amazing view of mount Etna. Sofia, our guide, was very nice, friendly and helpful. I enjoyed every minute of it, a relaxing and very pleasant experience. We also took a bath in the sea, very warm water. The food was delicious. Thank you for the memory!

Sailing trip - Beautiful landscape. We were able to swim, taste an excellent aperitif based on quality local products, take photos, film, we also received an unexpected but very welcome visit... schools of darting dolphins just a step away from us... trip to the top thanks also to the experience, friendliness and friendliness of the great captain Giuseppe Pesce and his very capable collaborator Enrico who entertained and supported us throughout the cruise on the Cyclops coast
