An unforgettable experience on the Blu Diamond! - An unforgettable experience on the Blu Diamond! We enjoyed a magical afternoon with a delicious aperitif at sunset and the unique thrill of seeing dolphins up close. A true dream come true! Graziella and Rosario are simply amazing – warm, friendly, and passionate. They make you feel at home right away and turn a simple boat tour into a lifelong memory. Absolutely recommended to anyone who wants to experience the sea with authenticity and heart. ❤️

Best Tour Best Experience w/ Local Owners - Husband & Wife Team - Just WOW! This tour is a Husband & Wife team with their privately owned luxury boat. Both grew up in Taormina and the Husband/Captain and family were generational fishermen, they have been tour operators for over 10 years. The tour started on time; its a small group of 8 passengers. So very intimate setting. The Team was so kind and the hospitality shared was sweet and genuine. The pride demonstrated in their home town, what they do and their love for what they do truly made the experience. We embarked on the tour getting to see special sites along the coastline, points of interest and locally know spots. Those inclined to take a dip in the waters was given that chance and met with dry towel on their return. A large banquet of snacks were provided along with either prosecco or alternate beverages were provided to accompany a very nice spread of snacks. Then off we go to “meet” the dolphins. Nothing guaranteed, just a sound knowledge of where we might see them evening feeding. The team was very respectful of the dolphins, allowing us to take in the beauty of the moment and not aggressively chasing. It was a true “meeting”, on this evening we saw many many dolphins. The dolphin family swam and jumped in family’s. A mother and her calf side by side and then the father just 3 feet away, all swimming and jumping in unison. As the sun and dolphins sightings faded it was off to the dock. Music was played and dancing was encouraged. The Husband/Wife team were so sweet, the tour was so relaxed the two hours was never rushed and the pace was perfect, so relaxing. Definitely a wonderful experience. So glad we chose this tour over the smaller and more crowded boats… even thought we shared this tour with two other couples, it really seemed private and with family. Would retrace this tour all day everyday.

Wonderful experience with Saro and Graziella! - Great experience! We took a boat ride full of emotions: we started watching the dolphins and continued along the coast of Giardini Naxos and Taormina, accompanied DA Graziella, who told us every single story related to these wonderful places with passion. I was struck to know, DA Saro and Graziella, that there are still few Italians — and in particular Sicilians — to choose this tour. It is a real shame, because experiences like this enhance the beauty and quality of our territory. Thank you so much for this wonderful adventure, guys! See you soon... you are always the best!

Wonderful, stylish boat tour - Our sunset tour could not have been more wonderful. Graziella and Saro love what they do. With their beautiful, elegant boat, they steer along the coast with small groups of guests and allow unique moments. The tour was characterized by warmth, aesthetics and respect for nature and the dolphins. Here, as with larger and cheaper tours with party boats and with loud music, the animals are not chased, but everything goes very stylish, calm and sophisticated. We felt so incredibly comfortable at every second and could experience the highlight of our trip here. 1000 thanks, Graziella and Saro, for this unique experience.

By far the best company for dolphin spotting - We had a wonderful evening boat tour with Graziella and her husband. The boat is new this year and is a luxury boat that can hold up to 10 guests. There was plenty of room for everyone. We did see dolphins which was great. The Blue Diamond kept a safe distance away from the dolphins to ensure that they did not become distressed. This was the complete opposite to other boats in the area. Graziella showed us all the main sights along the coast and we enjoyed an evening swim, Prosecco and a buffet. I would highly recommend the Blue Diamond over other companies as the boat is far more superior and far more ethical regarding the dolphins welfare.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. - I can't sing the praises of Graziella, Saro and their amazing boat loudly enough. We had an amazing experience on our 4-hour private evening cruise with two families. We originally booked 2 hours but then extended. As someone who’s an experienced captain with high standards for boats, I can say confidently: none of the other options in the area came close to this one. Honestly, I likely would’ve skipped doing a boat tour altogether had I not come across this boat. It's not only new and perfectly maintained, but it’s a stunner with space for everyone to hang out (most boats this style sacrifice deck space for more interior space). It was even better than it looked online. Even better than this beautiful boat though is Graziella and Saro — a local husband and wife team who clearly love their boat, the sea, and sharing their passion with others. This isn’t some commercial operation run by hired crew. They're funding their passion for boating by sharing their boat and providing a wonderful experience including Graziella's home made food! It was intimate, authentic, and effortless in the best way. We never felt like clients — we felt like guests. We will absolutely be back to cruise with Graziella and Saro again. One of the highlights of our trip!

Five star boat trip - Had an absolutely fantastic sunset boat trip! The couple that own the company are such lovely people and made us so welcome and we made new friends with the other guests on board! Informative trip about different spots around the coastline and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins including a baby! Then we anchored to sit and enjoy some authentic Sicilian delicacies. The boat itself is so beautiful as well. Would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful experience!

Unforgettable, THANK YOU - we experienced an incomparable evening on the Blue Diamond, the boat is pure luxury, toilet, shower, prosecco and buffet. We saw dolphins and the indescribable beauty of this coast, always with Etna in the background. The tour is more than recommendable, the captain and his wife professional, super nice and you realize that both want to pass on the love of the countryside, the sea and the people to the guests. Absolute recommendation, the boat an insider tip, not only because of the envious looks of the other boat tour guests who met us on the way:-) Incomparable, unforgettable, THANK YOU!

Unforgettable!! - We did a boat tour starting from the gardens Naxos, Taormina and beautiful island all described and narrated by Mrs Graziella who enchanted us with stories, myths and legends of the place. The skipper Saro, very kind, fulfilled all our requests taking us everywhere, knows every little cove and cave where there is a blue diamond sea, incredible! From the sea the coast and the islands are spectacular, views and breathtaking views! Aperitif at sunset abundantly pampered with Sicilian delights and delicacies. Last but not least, sailing with dolphins, a dream! You can't go through here without taking a boat tour with them. At the end we said goodbye with tears in our eyes .. Recommended? Absolutely yes!!!
