It was amazing. Wonderful experience with beautiful views and very nice and firendly captain. The tour also offers swimming in the see if you want.
Alex was a great host! We enjoyed the views and his bruschetta spread for the boat. He also accompanied us on a swim into the cave with a beach which was very nice of him. Overall, great tour!
This was a great trip for all. Captain Alex and his lovely first mate and wife are wonderful hosts. The tour is family friendly and offers swimming if you want along with a beautiful slow voyage from the Marina west past Cefalu beach. Great bruschetta and prosecco with a fun game included. We will book again next time in the area and cannot recommend it enough!
We had one of the most enjoyable boat tours of the beautiful coast around Cefalu with our delightful and fun hosts Melida and Captain Alex. Having a small group made it super friendly and the hosts engaged the group with information on the sights, friendly conversation and prepared delicious Sicilian Bruschetta and aperitif. We'd highly recommend as relaxing, fun & enjoyable.
Our boat tour with Captain Alex and his lovely wife was nothing more than amazing. The day was perfect and I highly recommend anyone who wants a beautiful day at sea to go!
The captain Alex and his wife were so much fun. We had a wonderful experience as the toured us along the shores of Cefalu. They were very informative and great hosts as well.
We will always remember our boat trip in Cefalu.
We highly recommend booking this tour. We give them a 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

Fantastic boat trip
Alex was a pleasure to have as captain ensuring our time on the boat was very enjoyable
Would not hesitate to recommend
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.
Was a great experience. The captain was easy going and made the trip fun. Great views from the water and the group we had was also pleasant to be around. Highly 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!
Great trip, fun host, beautiful views. Lovely sail around Cefalu up to Calanica, opportunities to snorkel and great swimming
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.
Lovely boat trip run by a lovely family! We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip and would recommend. The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable
Despite the overcast sky, Alessandro was a delightful captain and host. He made our Cefalù boating experience very enjoyable and memorable.
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.
Alessandro gave us a fabulous tour. He was engaging, fun and informative. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. The tour was great value for the money.
Great experience, highly recommend. The tour was just the perfect amount of time in order to see the beautiful Cefalu from a different perspective, swim in the clear waters and enjoy the sun. Our host was very welcoming and made sure that we had fun time.
We loved swimming in the beautiful water and seeing Cefalú from the boat. Alex was a great host who made sure we all had a good time.
Highlight of our visit to beautiful Cefalu. Perfect conditions, sea temperature was warmer than our hotel pool, great captain. Must do experience.
Entertaining trip with the ship captain serving a perfect apéritive on the sea. Swimming in a nice place and seashore sightseeing too with the caves
Fantastic tour was a highlight of our stay in Cefalu. The couple that ran the boat trip were a great team and made the whole tour lots of fun and we had champagne a great selection of bruschetta and highly recommend
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.
A wonderful experience for my family! Snacks were delicious, scenery was lovely, captain Alex and his wife were so kind- especially to our young son.
we had the best experience. Alex and his wife made the tour experience super fun and engaging. We took our 4 year old daughter and she had a blast. I highly recommend this tour!
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.
