Experience not to be missed if you take a holiday or stop in Tropea - Very easy to book also via whatsapp, boat in order and excellent to admire the sea and the panorama in navigation. The crew is helpful, friendly and prepared, all the information of the sites visited is provided, you make three stops to swim or snorkel, the most beautiful in our opinion is at Capo Vaticano, which is the last. Before leaving, a buffet aperitif is offered with simple but good things, in addition to the inevitable prosecco and various drinks. In all three hours of excursion, in which you can admire in all its beauty the Coast of the Gods!

Great value, beautiful boat trip. - Very welcoming. Stunning views and generous aperitif and drinks. We had a beautiful day to tour along the Tropea coastline even if it was late in the season. The sea was crystal clear and we stopped 3 times to swim and snorkel. The food was plentiful if simple and the drinks were distributed generously. The captain and his colleagues were very friendly and although their English was limited, we still managed to communicate enough to get the gist of what was being said. Only two draw backs: no working toilet and the snorkelling gear wasn’t the best. But those were small blips on otherwise good value and lovely excursion.

Never again - That day the sea was big and it was not the right day to carry out the activity.But Captain Paolo wanted to go out anyway maybe not to give us a refund of the same .It 'was a bad experience because he despite realizing he kept going despite us on the boat we were all scared 😟 When he finally convinced himself that the sea is not the best day he stopped on the opposite side of the port and made us get off to take a swim and to consume the aperitif.Moral of the story the refund nn we did not have and the tour nn we did; in addition we were scared to die very high waves arrived on the boat 🛶 a real fool
