We're a family of 5 and had a great day out with Walter and Nicolas. Both were extremely professional and very friendly and knowledgeable of the local area. We stopped at a couple of bays for food, drinks and some swimming along the tour of the Cyclops Riviera, as well as a long stop for lunch at an excellent local restaurant which Walter arranged. A really fantastic day out and we would definitely use them again.

Wonderful experience. The boat itself was great and clean. Perfect for four people. A relaxing coastal boat trip. Alessia and Nicholas were our hostess and captain. They were also great. Alessia is a local so she knew a ton about the area. Prosecco and aperitif were served. It was all stunningly prepared. Couldn’t recommend them more!!!

We spent a wonderful day aboard Walter's boat, we were able to see the entire bay of Taormina and we bathed in different very beautiful places. The crew served us with prosecco that never ran out, drinks and water and at lunch time they treated us to an abundant and delicious snack. The only thing I would like to mention as an opportunity for improvement is that the hostess did not speak English well and she also knew practically nothing about the history of Taormina. The boat is old but very well maintained and has a good roof to shelter from the summer heat.

We had the most incredible day on the ZAFFIRO 34! Walter was so friendly and easy to work with. I booked last minute to have a private excursion for my family during our port stop in Messina. They made everything such a pleasure for us. We had 4 hours on the boat and had a lovely afternoon that included a tour up the coast and swimming along several popular coves/beaches. Rosanna, our hostess, was absolutely lovely and very accommodating throughout the day. We enjoyed some beverages and hors d’oeuvres which was such a nice touch and made it a very memorable experience. I can’t say enough about their warmth and hospitality. We highly recommend this for any group (any ages) traveling in Taormina and wanting to see as much of the area in a short amount of time and create a really special memory as we will never forget it! (To note: we had a group that included adults, seniors, and children between 7-13 and they were very accommodating to all ages). 5 star service!
