The captain Luigi was very friendly and informative. Very nice appetitivo snacks and drinks at the end of the tour. We never felt rushed. Plenty of time for swimming. "Andrea · July 2026
"A lovely three-hour tour with Giuseppe, a very kind and friendly man. He shared so much local history with us, full of details and interesting facts. The aperitif on board was definitely above average. Two long swimming stops in the perfect spots to fully enjoy the beautiful waters of the rocky coast. Highly recommended!"Francesco · August 2026
