I loved our boat trip around the coast of Cefalù, our tour guide was Nicola and he was great, learnt about local area, dropped anchor and swam in the sea. Prosecco and snacks onboard. Fantastic trip, would definitely recommend. Very good value for money.

It was a super nice boat tour. The tour guides were very friendly and courteous. We had a few snacks and drinks on board. We took two swimming breaks and then headed back again. After 2.5 hours we were back at the harbor. Great boat trip along the coast!

    Perfect boat trip!

    This was exactly what we were looking for - a beautiful trip along the coast with two stops to swim. Friendly, laidback crew and a comfortable, spacious boat

    Skip this and just do a nice beach club instead. Not memorable.

    Plen_S, Aug 2025
    Be prepared for awful and super loud music the whole duration of the trip. No refreshments other than water and potato chips. They charged us 20 euro for a bottle of prosecco that everyone else helped themselves to after we purchased.

    Dream Team

    This is a fun, well-organised and professional family affair; Mario and his daughter Est, make a wonderful attentive team. The boat had a recorded historical guide which gave brief snippets of information as we passed relevant sites along the coast, Mario also enjoyed sharing his summer vibes playlist (if your looking for a silent boat trip this is may not be your bag). We stopped for swimming x3 times and were able to jump and dive off the boat. Mario's daughter Est spoke amazing English and was very engaging and informative. Thank-you both my teenage kids and I had a wonderful trip.

    If you are visiting Cefalu, this is an amazing way to see the town and enjoy the ocean. We had an amazing time swimming. The prosecco and apertivo was a great way to end the boat ride. Cannot recommend this enough!!

    A nice way to spend a few hours

    Frank_M, Jul 2025
    We enjoyed the boat cruise very much. It was a nice relaxing way to spend a few hours. We got to swim in two spots and enjoyed some prosecco on the way home. Overall it was a nice experience and Mario and his daughter were very friendly and helpful.

    Beautiful and relaxing...

    MaryAnn_D, Jul 2025

    We had a wonderful tour with great impressions of the coast. The captain was very nice and the bay where we could swim was fantastic. We highly recommend the tour.

    easy to find location,...

    clint_m, May 2025
    easy to find location, but a bit of a walk if that's how you're getting about. Slow and easy boat ride along the coast. Photo ops and swimming opportunity. Captain Mario was excellent and made it fun and memorable.

    Would recommend

    Lovely trip along the coast well organised and lead by a friendly family. Three lovely spots to get off the boat and swim and some history about Cefalu. Provided with a couple of glasses of Prosecco and snacks at the end. Would recommend

    Brilliant experience! Shout out to Est and the captain for a great boat trip :) we enjoyed the scenery and stops for swimming.

    The tour was one of the best things we experienced in Sicily

    Andr_B, Aug 2024
    The crew was very polite and helpful, giving you space and make you feel comfortable. The tour was one of the best things we experienced in Sicily. 3 hours of multiple diving spots and a aperitif to finish the tour. The only point we didn't like but it's a matter of taste was the music was a bit loud, but thankfully there where silent breaks.

    Amazing skipper

    Joshua_A, Aug 2024
    Mario was an amazing skipper. We had lots of fun and swam and jumped from his boat several times. He was professional and had lots of knowledge about Cefalù. Recommend the experience 100%

    Stunning sicily coast trip.

    Rebecca_A, Aug 2024
    Absolutely fantastic, very warm welcome from. Mario our excellent captain and his daughter whose English was superb. Commentary was perfect just the right amount of Information without being overloaded. 3 beautiful relaxing swims in stunning water (masks and noodle.woggles available to borrow.) Finished off with a toast of presseco, water or range pop, some crisps and nibbles. Excellent trip well worth the money would highly recommend.

    Excellent, chill, great fun !! Bravo !

    Very enjoyable boat trip around the coast with a bit of history and lots of places to stop and swim.

    Great way to spend an afternoon in Sicily!

    Lara_F, Jul 2024
    What a fun experience! It was easy to book the boat trip online, easy to find the meeting point, the captain and his daughter were super friendly, and the views from the boat were spectacular. We'd defintely do this again.

    Skip this experience!

    We were on a family trip in Sicily and I worked with Viator customer service to book a private boat tour and showed up to find there were other people put on our boat. Seeing as we had 10 people including young children / infants we were not expecting to have others (for both their and our enjoyment). The experience from then was awful where we were told to pay off the other people with cash and then had a very awkward boat experience with little to no communication.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    HI. the exclusive tour must be booked as exclusive and paid as exclusive (€450). You claimed to have the boat all to yourself, having paid for 10 pax among other things with children's tickets (€325) by booking the full-ride tour. I tried to accommodate you even if you were cunning during the booking phase. A greeting. Mario the commander of La Nina

    Sunset cruise with great hosts!

    Nessa_D, Jun 2024
    Lovely sunset sail along the coast of Cefalu in a comfortable boat captained by Mario and his daughter , both so friendly and lovely. The boat accommodates maybe 15 and there were about 10 passengers on our cruise lasting about 2 and half hours, with information on historical landmarks and key buildings along the way; also two swimming stops and an apertivo served as we watched a beautiful Sicilian sunset and the lovely Cefalu coastline. Top class and well worth doing!

    Cefalu from a watery perspective

    Clean, spacious boat with friendly staff ensuring you enjoy it to the fullest! We took our 4 kids (2,6,8,15) and they had so much fun jumping off the boat into the water, using the snorkel masks and floating with the pool noodles. Highly recommend the 6:30PM boat ride in the summer during sunset as the views and colors were spectacular

    A must do in Cefalu!

    Giorgiana_B, Jul 2023
    Our family enjoyed the boat trip, kids loved the swimming spots and jumping from the boat. The boat is comfortable, with shade, the captain and his skipper- a young lady were very friendly and made the experience even better! We enjoyed the apperitivo at the end and the music, would love to have that playlist now! Can we please?

    Would do again!

    Ben_M, Jul 2023
    This was so easy and simple. Made a great morning for my family. Mario was helpful and nice and we had a great time! Thank you.

    A lovely afternoon on the sea

    Nancy_V, Jun 2023

    Sarah_J, Apr 2025
    Hatten unsere wunderbare Reise mit Nicola/ Nik. Überraschenderweise waren wir nur zu zweit eingebucht und konnten somit eine wunderschöne, romantische Reise über das Meer genießen. Nicola hat dieses Erlebnis unvergesslich gemacht. mit toller, romantischer Musik, seiner witzigen Art und voller Elan fuhr er uns voll guter Laune sicher über das Wasser. Würden wir immer wieder so buchen!!!

    Superbe balade

    SophieLoc_R, Sep 2024
    Le skipper est bien veillant envers ses clients. Nous avons eu toutes les explications voulus sur les sites visités. Nous étions comme chez nous.

    Wunderbar
