An enjoyable experience, a lovely afternoon spent
In the sunshine, but there is a canopy for shade too. Alex was a hospitable, calm and friendly captain, giving interesting information on various points
of interest. Aperitif and drink included, and a lovely swim from the boat too. Very happy to recommend.

We had a wonderful experience!
Our hosts were pleasant and knowledgeable about the area so it was educational as well!
They broke it up in a fun and easy way and I would do it again!

Alex was an amazing captain and made the whole experience so fun. He shared some stories and history of the area and prepared a delicious aperitivo. We loved swimming in the beautiful water. We definitely recommend this excursion!

Good fun. Nice little trip hosted by a lovely family. Felt a bit different than the usual boat trips in a good way. Just what we wanted !

Such a fun morning at sea spent with Alessandro (Captain Alex as he prefers to be called, hehe)! Everything was smooth, from pre-trip communication, to the meeting point, to a timely departure and a wonderful time on board. We felt safe and very well taken care of. The snacks he lovingly prepared were also delightful - he definitely should open his own restaurant someday ;) We visited the coast on each side of Cefalù (approx. from Kalura to the Club Med site) with 2 swimming spots and gorgeous views throughout. We totally recommend doing this activity to get a sense of the Cefalù coast and see the town + La Rocca from the sea! If you're not sure about swimming in deep waters, noodles are provided. Super fun - only wish it could have been an all-day thing! Grazie per tutto Alessandro!

Beautiful trip. Gorgeous scenery with various stops to swim. Boat a good size, not crowded, and an excellent skipper in Alex. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend to anyone coming to Cefalu.

Wonderful boat tour along the coast from Cefalù with our guide Alessandro. He provided us with a lot of information about the history of the area and buildings along the coast. He had good English and was a lot of fun. Enjoyed our stop for a swim. Delicious aperitifs and bubbles. Highly recommend because it is a great way to enjoy your stay in the area.

Alex was a great host! He was fun and thoughtful...and put together an enjoyable ride along the Cefalu coast. We had great weather, and seeing Cefalu from the water was beautiful. The drinks and appetizer spread that he put out for us was lovely and added a nice touch. When we got off the boat we content and satisfied.

Unfortunately the information provided as to where to meet the boat tour was inaccurate. Hence we arrived late and the tour had departed. After some back and forth emails with Viator, they agreed to refund us.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
We appreciate when our clients leave us feedback so we can always improve our service. However, you feedback cannot be useful to us due to the fact that it is not only false but you were unable to participate in the experience we provide. Viator provides you with the correct address and map of the meeting point which you did not arrive at. We had to contact your group directly and we never recieved any messages or calls about having a difficulty finding the meeting point. The meeting point is at the Port of Cefalù and your group went to the beach. We could not have the other 9 passengers who arrived on time at the correct location wait an extra 30 minutes to start our boat trip experience. We apologize that your group did not have the opportunity to come on board with us.

Incredible experience, the hosts were incredibly charismatic and informative. The boat ride had some great sights, and we even had the opportunity to swim in the ocean. Thank you Alessandro and Melinda! We had an awesome time.
Victoria_C, Jun 2024
We had an amazing time! They were an amazing couple who were super accommodating and made this an unforgettable experience for us. Could not recommend this enough. We got to snorkel and see many fish, swim in front of breathtaking views, got amazing pictures, and enjoyed a thoughtful light snack.

Me and my fiancé had an amazing boat trip today from 10am. The weather was beautiful and everything about the tour was 10/10. The couple who provide this trip are lovely and so welcoming and had everything you could possibly need onboard. We were taken to lovely areas to snorkel where the sea was so clear! The snacks on board were brilliant and everyone on board were lovely people too. If we were to come back we would 100% book this again. Great value for money and a wonderful experience 🛳️
