We booked the boat trip online and were absolutely thrilled from the very first minute! Giuseppe was on board – a super friendly, warm guy who made the trip truly special. The boat was fantastic, incredibly comfortable, and simply amazing. He showed us beautiful bays and let us experience Palermo from a completely different perspective – from the water. It was simply fantastic! What was especially great: Our children were on another boat, and Giuseppe promptly took them along so they could follow us and see the bays too – super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We really, really enjoyed the whole trip – we can wholeheartedly recommend it!
