Boat rental in Milazzo · Nuova Jolly — King 600 Exclusive (2025)

The dinghy tour didn't live up to our expectations at all. The website listed the departure time as 8:30, but the skipper didn't arrive until 9:15. Between waiting and preparations, we wasted almost an hour before we were able to set off. From the start, it was clear he wasn't very familiar with the route: he didn't know the area well, he took us to uninteresting coves, and despite our fear of the open sea, he initially only stopped in deep, unwelcoming spots. The trip continued with a stop in Lipari to refuel. At that point, we specifically asked the skipper if the fuel was okay for the return trip, and he reassured us that we wouldn't have to pay anything else. However, once we returned to Milazzo and said our goodbyes, the manager called us back in a rather threatening tone, asking, "And now who pays for the fuel from Lipari to Milazzo?" We were forced to return to port, and with a simple glance at the tank, they demanded an additional €50 on top of the €180 we'd already spent on refueling. A poorly managed, unprofessional, and decidedly disappointing experience, both for the welcome and the skipper's lack of expertise.

Fantastic experience and Stefano a fantastic skipper. The only issue was that the characteristics included the option of goggles and snorkel equipment, but there were none in the end.
