Summary:
"A dream experience, absolutely worth living!"
A simply perfect day! The skipper was professional, prepared and passionate, conveying confidence and love for the sea from the first moment. The experience was unforgettable: wonderful views, relaxed atmosphere and moments that will remain in the heart. I highly recommend doing it at least once in a lifetime — it's really worth it!

Summary:
Together with friends we took a boat tour along the coast to Capo Vaticano. It was a wonderful excursion with Guiseppe as skipper. Anchorage was done in a bay and there was the possibility to swim.
Everything was fine, gladly again

Summary:
Swimming in the sea was amazing. Good history provided by the captain. Would have been amazing if we could have sailed rather than just motored.
