Top notch private tour of the Palermo Coast - Andrea was fantastic! We had a different boat tour cancel on us at the last minute due to mechanical issues. Andrea happened to be at the harbor at that time and offered to take the 7 of us on a tour of the Palermo coast. For 5 hours he entertained us. He took us to beautiful swimming holes (including where Queen Carolina took her baths), provided us with snorkeling gear, talked about the landscape and history of the area, pulled out binoculars so we could see the wild goats on the hills, and gave us drinks and wonderful local fruit. We could not have asked for a better tour or guide!

Great excursion with a top captain. We recommend++++++++ - Warm Welcoming upon our arrival in port by Andrea our captain. The excursion was very pleasant: many explanations, anecdotes.,. Andrea was very attentive to our expectations, very discreet during our swims and during our rests on the boat. The small in case made of fresh fruit and a drink (wine, juice, beer at our convenience) were enjoyed after our many swims. We recommend++++++. Congratulations to him for his kindness, his little touches, his good humor and especially his smile! Thank you to Andrea for sharing your love for Sicily. Sophie, Caroline, Max and Lou

Amazing half-day private boat tour from Palermo - We had an amazing private boat tour with Andrea as our skipper! There were four of us on board, and the boat was super comfortable with plenty of space for everyone to lay down and relax. Andrea was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal and enjoyable. He took us to some beautiful caves and stopped at three great swimming spots where the water was crystal clear. We also really appreciated the delicious fruit platter he provided — it was a lovely touch that made the day even more special. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a relaxing, scenic, and well-organized experience on the water!
