A must do in Palermo! - This was one of our favorite tours in Palermo! We enjoyed sailing on the beautiful coast on a warm day. We were able to swim multiple times as well enjoy the fun floaties! The food was very good and filling! I highly recommend this tour. I don't think our Palermo visit would have been as soon without this trip!

Best day in Palermo - This was a fantastic day! I can not say enough about Fabio and Checho's sail day for us. Were were a family of 9 , age 5-75. EVERYONE had the best day of our entire month trip to Italy here. The men are knowledgeable, kind, gracious, fun. We were treated to delicious foods, drinks, spectacular lunch. The ship is very clean, comfortable, lovely. We saw many dolphins. If you have only 1 thing to do for a day in Palermo book this excursion. There are less expensive sails to be had, trust me no comparison to this one ,Worth EVERY PENNY! All 9 of us rated this the best of out trip. Grazie mille

Fabulous tour on Boat Vive, captained by Masssimo - Captain Masssimo did a wonderful job. The sailing tour was very enjoyable filled with beautiful sights and colorful stories. The lunch was outstanding. We swam in gorgeous teal blue waters and saw many fish. Allow extra time to find parking. Overall we had a fabulous time.

Perfect Day Trip - The organization was great - the description of the meeting point and how to get there was very detailed and they even sent us a live location an hour before departure. After a very warm welcome, we started the day trip. Besides some interesting facts about the coastline and Palermo they told us also about the history and some local facts/rituals. Their hospitality was beyond great - it felt like they‘ve welcomed us to their home! We felt very safe on the boat and they took really good care of us! The cooking of Mara was delicious! All in all Mara and Marcello were the perfect hosts and we would recommend this trip to everyone! After a long nice day we said goodbye with a warm-hearted hug and a smile all over our faces!

Professional team an an Amazing Experience - We were a group of thirteen people from our 20s to our 40s. Mostly solo travelers. The group was professional and responsive. They were quick to answer any questions that we had and were able to accomodate a few dietary restrictions. We communicated with the captains over WhatsApp and they were very responsive. The day started from the docks and a lovely trip to the anchor spot. They tried to tie the two boats together but it was just a little too wavy. So they anchored up right next to each other and were swam back and forth all day. The weather was amazing. The crew was super friendly. The food was delicious. The water was incredible. By the end of the day, the crew felt like our new best friends. There is a good chance we'll be doing this again while we are here!
