Lovely trip up the coast from Catania - Our extended family of 10 adults enjoyed a private trip up the coast with Giulia and Fabio - the owner of the company organised our taxis and welcomed us at the boat - we also asked to bring beer on board which wasn’t an issue - we had a wonderful day - the sea was quite calm and we enjoyed the sail the food and Prosecco and the swimming - strongly recommend this company for your sailing trip up the coast

You stop for a couple of swims, have an apperitivo and a light lunch on board, and can enjoy cood prosecco while sailing near Catania coast. Sailing boat was good and clean. Crew were very nice guys, didn’t hestitate to share a lot of cool stories about Sicily, Etna and sailing in general.

Perfect day! - This was one of the best days of our week long trip to Sicily. So much fun! Gianluca and Carlo were amazing - showed us some beautiful places along the coast, shared interesting stories, made us lunch, poured us prosecco, made us laugh - it really felt like they were a part of our friends group :) Communication was super easy and we really enjoyed their company. We stopped for a swim for a few times, jumped in the water, sunbathed and just relaxed. This was such a perfect day. We were a company of 4 friends (2 couples) and I highly suggest to take this private cruise if you are traveling with friends. And also if you are traveling with family or just your other half. I didn’t want this cruise to end. Hope to come back one day and do this again! :) Thank you Sicilian Sail, Gianluca and Carlo! Signe, Toms, Marlena and Martins from Latvia are wishing you all the best! Hope to see you guys again someday!

The best tour in Sicilian waters - My excursion on the waters of Sicily was fantastic. We sailed along the coast, admiring breathtaking landscapes and crystal clear waters. The guide was competent and the food on board was delicious. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Sicily from the sea.

Incredible private boat tour in Catania - We had an amazing time! Giulia and Benjamin were wonderful. Benjamin taught me a little bit about sailing and Giulia prepared a delicious lunch and snacks as well as some prosseco! The views of Catania and the Etna were stunning. Would definitely recommend.

Not to be missed - I work on boats and I said I'm going on a sailing trip, what can I say I didn't think I'd feel so good, at ease as if I were family, friendly and professional and even though I'm fussy about eating I ate very well thanks guys
