Enjoy this sailing trip with swimming in the sea and the perfect view on Catania and the Etna in the warm light of the late sun. Perfetto!

Amazing. Highly recommend! - I had an amazing time on this tour. It was a last minute decision with my friend and I and I'm so glad we did it. Gianluca and Ianira were amazing hosts and made the experience even better. We did the 5pm-8pm session and the weather was perfect for a swim and with a nice chill vibe, and to watch the sunset.
Ianira was an incredible host who kept the vibes up with her infectious laughter, made sure to check we were okay, made us delicious food and made sure our cups were always filled with Prosecco. Ianira gave us some great tips on where to go and stay in Sicily that we even changed our plans based on her recommendations as we trusted her so much. Gianluca gave us a really cool and delicious restaurant reservation for dinner that night as well. Thanks so much to Ianira and Gianluca for an fun ride!

Best experience ever!! - What an amazing way to spend an evening in Catania!!
We booked the experience last minute and are so glad we did. Not only did Ianira and Gianluca make the boat experience incredible, they also have us so much more! Recommendations on where to go for dinner, what beaches to see. We even ended up changing our plans in Sicily after all the incredible place Ianira recommended we try! Sailing was amazing but it was Iani and Gianluca that made it even better! Recommending to all my friends!

take it easy while sailing with them! - My wife and I had a good sailing day with skipper Ivan. In addition, before sunset Giulia prepared an Italian aperativo which enriched our experience. The day spent with them was pleasant and we've appreciated their kindness and politeness. Very relaxing
