Private Palermo yacht day to Vergine Maria, Mondello, and Isola delle Femmine with swimming, snorkeling, SUP, and optional BBQ and massage.

“While the Captain and crew were nice, the yacht was not as expected or represented. It had been poorly maintained and was very very dirty. We only stopped for swimming one time. We were not taken to snorkel among the stacks of the Cyclops in Acitrezza. The crew shared no stories and did not describe the sites. We looked forward to this excursion our entire trip and could not have been more disappointed.”

While we swam, Graziella prepared a fantastic lunch which included a delicious homemade caponata and oysters freshly shucked by Saro. Graziella kept the champagne flowing and Saro’s playlist provided the perfect background. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!”

A private Taormina luxury day mixing White Lotus filming spots, guided walking, and a boat trip with tasting, swim time, and an Aperol spritz.

“Can’t recommend this enough. We had a fun, relaxing and easy experience with this tour. Our cruise port got changed and the company reached out proactively letting us know they’d pick us up at the new location. We were greeted by Mariarita right at the port and Giuseppe drove all of us to the boat next to Taormina. The boat ride was a highlight for us. We got to see some of the filming spots from the White Lotus show but also enjoyed a fruit plate, Prosecco, and an hour of swimming. The boat was perfect. Mariarita gave us a tour of downtown Taormina and recommended a great spot for…”
