Enjoying the water!! - Enjoyed the water. Unfortunately there was no wind so we didn't sail. Ivan and Carlo do everything they can to make sure you enjoy yourself. Good explanation of the area and delicious lunch. The cooling dip in the clear water was great!!

Great Sicilian experience - We had an amazing time on the boat tour on the Sicilian coast. We enjoyed traditional Sicilian food and a glass of Prosecco. We’ve stopped also to swim in the amazing blue water. Wonderful and informative staff, they took care of us made us feel great on the boat. Good luck to Ivan and his crew!

The best boat drive I had. - The Cruise, was very good. Ivan and his crew was very nice and calming. We started at 10:00 and than he explained us everything, what was on the boat and what we are doing. Ivan told us about the Lavarocks and the Lavacaves the history. When we was at the half of the way l, the wind was great so we could sail. Meanwhile he gave us a little antipasti. It was totally lovely, I loved the Tomatoesalad.

Wonderful day at sea - We had a wonderful day with the crew and the other travelers. It was a relaxed day topped by a long swim in the Med. After a long number of days visiting ruins, this is just what we needed.

Pleasant sail with great people - We went on a 3 hours cruise along Catania shore with Ivan and Julia, who were the textbook examples of hospitality. Ivan has a great experience in sailing across the Mediterranian and managed to end up having a looong conversation about sailing :) In the meantime, Julia prepared a traditional Italian cuisine experience with food and Prosecco :) We learned a lot about the city, its history, sailing and Italy during our 3 hours, I only wished we had the 6 hours tour :) Once again, Grazie Mille, Ivan!
