Beautiful experience. Professional, welcoming, and friendly staff. The sea of Syracuse offers richness and beauty, which Sebastiano and his staff take you to discover. To be done again!!

Excellent attention, communication and flexibility with weather conditions. Friendly, experienced and knowledgeable captain and crew provided lovely sail and exploration of cliffside cave and beach area, along with early season snorkeling experience. Memorable excursion!

Excellent experience, the team is very pro, the captain knows the area well and adapts very well to the vagaries. Since there was a swell he offered to postpone the excursion to the next day, it was a good tip we had a great time on this beautiful sailboat!

It was a wonderful experience! We spent an afternoon at sea with Sebastiano, Silvia, Diego, Roberto and Paris! Amazing places seen, we learned a lot and we also entered the caves with the dinghy! Moved by this 5-star experience 🤩

Great experience! The day sailing was relaxing and well organized. Snorkeling in crystal clear waters, among colorful fish and beautiful seabed, was the most exciting moment. Nice and professional crew. Highly recommended for those who love the sea and want to experience something special.

My friends and I were looking for a boat experience that was different from the usual, something authentic. The sailing trip with the Perseid seemed immediately perfect. We had booked for another day, but due to unfavorable weather conditions, we were contacted almost immediately to reschedule the excursion, showing great attention and professionalism in wanting to ensure ideal conditions for sailing and snorkeling. On September 25th we finally boarded and were greeted with great kindness by Sebastiano, his wife and Diego, who made us feel immediately at ease. As soon as we left the port of Ortigia, we were lucky enough to spot the dolphins, probably a matriarch with a calf, who swam next to the boat to say goodbye: a really exciting moment. During the navigation Sebastiano told us curiosities and legends of the place, such as that of the Pirillina Cave, alternating explanations in Italian and English to include all passengers. Then, once we arrived at the Plemmirio reserve, we dived into the crystal clear waters for snorkeling, accompanied by Diego, who guided us through the seabed and explained the local marine fauna. The equipment was all provided on board and the experience was relaxing, safe and wonderful. A perfect morning, between nature, sea and genuine people. Next time baptism of the sea 😉
