An unforgettable experience between sailing and sea - Great experience! The day sailing was relaxing and well organized. Snorkeling in crystal clear waters, among colorful fish and beautiful seabed, was the most exciting moment. Nice and professional crew. Highly recommended for those who love the sea and want to experience something special.

wonderful experience, super recommended! 🌊⛵️ - My friends and I were looking for a boat experience that was different from the usual, something authentic. The sailing trip with the Perseid seemed immediately perfect. We had booked for another day, but due to unfavorable weather conditions, we were contacted almost immediately to reschedule the excursion, showing great attention and professionalism in wanting to ensure ideal conditions for sailing and snorkeling. On September 25th we finally boarded and were greeted with great kindness by Sebastiano, his wife and Diego, who made us feel immediately at ease. As soon as we left the port of Ortigia, we were lucky enough to spot the dolphins, probably a matriarch with a calf, who swam next to the boat to say goodbye: a really exciting moment. During the navigation Sebastiano told us curiosities and legends of the place, such as that of the Pirillina Cave, alternating explanations in Italian and English to include all passengers. Then, once we arrived at the Plemmirio reserve, we dived into the crystal clear waters for snorkeling, accompanied by Diego, who guided us through the seabed and explained the local marine fauna. The equipment was all provided on board and the experience was relaxing, safe and wonderful. A perfect morning, between nature, sea and genuine people. Next time baptism of the sea 😉

Amazing activity for couples - Sebastian and Diego were wonderful leaders for our snorkeling trip! My boyfriend and I went snorkeling for the first time along with one other couple and it was truly magical. We were able to snorkel in caves and sailed back as the sun set over Ortigia. 100% would recommend!
