I’ve been thinking about self-piloted boat experiences with the family for a while now. Very glad we did as this was super easy and great fun. Salvatore was very responsive throughout the booking process and super accommodating. Martina gave us brief but comprehensive instructions and we were off. We had a fantastic time and I highly recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic experience hiring from Salvatore. Communication was excellent through booking to locating the boat. The boat was very clean, and there were a couple of snorkel masks provided. We had a small issue with the Aux which meant we couldn’t play music and the Bluetooth wouldn’t work, which is why I only gave 4* for maintenance. Fuel is extra but as a guide we spent c20 euros for the morning, with a bit of cruising and mostly anchored at Isobella. We had a great morning and I’d definitely recommend booking with Salvatore.

We contacted Salvatore a day before renting the boat. Contact was very good and he always reply quickly on my questions. For us it was a little difficult to find the pick up place, even with a pin Point from Salvatore. Also finding a parking for the car takes us some time. We met Salvatore and hé is a nice and great guy. The boat was ready and he explained us some thinks. Also a bottle prosecco was in the ice box. The trip was great also the price for half day rental. I can really advice Salvatore for renting a boat. Thank you a lot and hope to see you next time. Peter & Mariette from The Netherlands

Salvatore saves our day two times today! First, he advised an excellent boat for seven persons. Second, he's flexible, good communicator and permit to get the boat from Letojanni because we were late. I transmit again an huge thank you to the team! Iy was an amazing journey for us!

The initial communication was very basic, despite several questions from us that went unanswered. On-site, the explanations were given very quickly, with no time for familiarization or questions. At the end, a request for fuel payment was made without specifying the amount. This payment request was not mentioned in the listing, nor at the start of the rental or beforehand via messages. Not having the required amount in cash, nor physical credit cards, we had to make a last-minute bank transfer via a payment app. All this under the hurried and irritated gaze of the employees. After suggesting that we should have specified this beforehand for a smoother return, they didn't let us finish our sentences and gestured for us to leave while muttering words in Italian at us. The day was wonderful, but you have to be bold and ignore the team's behavior. In addition, the fresh water tank was not filled, so we had none and the engine light was on at the start of our day.

Incredible experience! My sister and I rented the boat, and we loved everything about it. We requested the skippered option, and we were paired with Orazio, who was super friendly and took us everywhere so we could explore and swim! Nothing else to say, we loved everything!

A wonderful experience with skipper Francesco, who was very helpful. We took a tour along the coast of Taormina and Giardini Naxos, stopping at various coves and Isola Bella. I recommend it to everyone for a very relaxing and fun day!

My girlfriend and I booked a boat with Salvatore for 9 hours, and it was a truly fantastic decision! Salvatore gave us a warm welcome and explained everything to us right on the boat. We were able to connect our phones to the boat and listen to music, and Salvatore also prepared some cold drinks in the cooler for us. There were no problems at all, and we had a blast cruising across the ocean. We even saw dolphins in front of our boat, which made the experience even more special. I also texted Salvatore on our way back to the dock, and he responded very quickly and even picked us up with another boat to bring us safely back to the dock. It was a truly wonderful day. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Salvatore again for not thinking too much and just doing it!

Experience worthy of 10 and praise. Punctuality and cleanliness of the boat, but above all availability and kindness of Salvatore, who allowed us to stay an extra hour until sunset without additional costs, also offering us water and prosecco. Wonderful person and exceptional service.
