This boat trip was 2 1/2 hours on a decent size boat and it was a very windy day and my nephew just wanted to get off the boat. It was fine for me and it was wavy and you could feel it. I heard after it is much closer to drive to Messina in Sicily and go from there versus Tropea. Unfortunately the galley was closed part of the time because of the waves. You really could not walk around at all. What we would have liked was to get coffee on the boat as soon as we arrived as it is an early departure and we had no time. Once the boat began you could not walk to the galley. Such a bummer. Good translation for English speaking. Smooth ride home. It was wonderful to see all the islands, a good amount of time to wonder around. If you go to Volcano and want to do the mud bath, hurry there first, no one tells you this. Then you will have time to eat after should you desire. It is only 20 minutes allowed in the mud and then you rinse in the black sea. Ask for a pass for the beach next to the mud bath otherwise it is very rough getting into the water where the mud baths access. Also it is very confusing where to get the boat. Leave plenty of time to find it. Parking is not clear and you park a ways away.
