Chill and see and proseco and waves and excelent - The Captain and his team mate were very friendly and interesting. They were helpful, polite and caring. Cool people to be with on a boat trip. The sea was a bit rough when we had the trip but the Captain and team mate were experienced and we always felt safe. In fact the waves made it even more fun experience. The prossecco was enough for everyone and aperitiv was tasty. Overall excelent trip with chill company and beatiful views from the sea side.

Chill vibes - The views were great, as were the stories and guides. The food was fresh and authentic to Catania. The option to take a swim (safely) was great! A relaxing way to end the day!
