Fantastic tour - This was a great boat tour. Roberto was our captain and Nino was our first mate. They were great! It was a beautiful day and a very peaceful time. There were 11 of us total and everyone was so nice. We were able to swim 3 different times. The water was perfect! The best was the lunch! It was all homemade by Nino’s grandmother! And the wine was flowing! I would highly recommend this tour.

Perfect day, happy tummies. - Not only a lovely boat ride around the waters of Siracusa with a couple of stops to swim, but one of the best meals we had while in Sicily. The skipper was justifiably proud of serving homemade local cuisine. It was all vegetarian but not sure if that was usual or not. The boat holds eight guests and we all become fast friends sharing laughs and swapping travel stories and tips. The wine and prosecco probably helped. It was mid September and the water was about 25 degrees so still pleasant, my wife and I brought our masks and snorkels so get a better view of the fish. Weather was perfect as well.

recommended - Nino always available and attentive to everyone's needs delighted us with a lunch of typical products prepared by him and never made us miss a drink!!!!!! Captain Roberto always ready to tell anecdotes and adventures

Great half day boat trip! - We had a wonderful time with Roberto and Niko on the half day trip with a fabulous lunch. We stopped to swim three times in different areas and thoroughly enjoyed our time aboard!

Beautiful views, relaxed and informed - Fantastic day out on the water. Food was plentiful and delicious. great overview of the area from the sea. English was good and she was very friendly. Captain attentive and safe. Swimming spots beautiful. Very clean boat and WC. Would do it again!

Sun, sea, lovely company, great crew and gorgeous food! Go for it!! - Boat tour with lunch around Ortiga … sounds nice! So we booked it with a family of 7 having high hopes for a great trip. The tour exceeded all expectations and we loved every minute of it! The food was SO delicious, a big thanks for Robberto and Leon. The tour itself was fantastic - caves, swimming, jumping salto’s from the deck and the crew was amazingly friendly. But the food … OMG! It was very, very tasty!! We would book this tour again!!

AMAZING TOUR. TRYING TO BELIEVE - Wonderful tour: Relaxing, fun and cultural. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Lunch on board as at the restaurant. Thank you for letting us live this unforgettable experience.

Pleasant boat trip with delicious lunch - Very nice trip, delicious food and nice passengers. The crew helped make the trip a good holiday memory. Also very good information and follow-up in advance of the trip. Recommended!

Interesting experience - The trip had a bit of a difficult start. The man at the booth told us to follow him to the boat but then after a short walk told us to go back to the starting spot (the booth). A few minutes later we started out again but it was obvious that he did not know where he was going as he was on the phone getting directions. Once we were settled on the boat, it began to back out and got tangled in another boat's moorings. Another boat had to pull it away. After that delay we were able to head out. The ladder that was used to get in and out of the water had a mixture of metal and wooden steps which was hard on the feet, the boat's deck was very slippery and most of the dialogue was in Italian not English as presented in the ad. On the plus side, one of the crew did help people get on and off the boat (in and out of the water) and he steadied people; the food was great; they had a freshwater shower and the experience was interesting.

Get me off this ancient boat! - I wanted so badly to love this experience! Our tour was cancelled due to wind and was rescheduled for the next day. The tour said capacity was 12 passengers, but there were 14 on board...not everyone was able to sit at the table and it felt very crowded. The boat is very old and my husband and I were overcome by the diesel fumes. We did get to swim in one area and it was good to get off the boat! There were only 4 flotation noodles for 14 people. Luckily many people did not mind and my husband and I were able to use 2 of them. the meal was very simple..potatoes done 3 different ways, tomato salad, bread and eggplant. There was some disappointing wine, water and soft drinks. The server was lovely and tried hard to get everyone their drinks, etc. We were supposed to go to other swimming areas but turned back due to gray skies. We were told we were going to be able to swim again at an area close to the dock, but instead we docked and were served spaghetti with mussels. I was not expecting this and would have much preferred swimming again. I would not recommend this tour!
