Full Day Palermo Boat Tour With Palermo Experiences

We had a great time. The staff were lovely and the locations were great. Just a fair warning that they do take photos and will offer it to you for a fee. This is fine however we were told to not worry about taking photos as they had a professional camera but were not told about the charge until the end of the trip which was a bit frustrating. Nevertheless we all had a great time!

I booked the boat for my husband’s bday. We rented it for 4 hours. The tour was amazing from beginning to end. Crew was super friendly and trying to make the best out of it. Angela got my husband a italian cake that was delicious and we could celebrate if. We bought drinks on board and the did not explore us on that, but there was an aperitif each wich wss delicious! I totally recommend! Next time we will go spend full day!

Fantastic experience and would highly recommend! This tour company is family run & owned and it shows. They took care of every detail and made sure, throughout the day, that everyone was enjoying themselves. Great food and drinks, too. Really could not have asked for anything more, would book with them again.

A very good time with good people. Enjoy the sea of Palermo knowing you will be completely relaxed and enjoy every minute.

A full-day boat tour of Palermo is an unforgettable experience. Sailing along the stunning Sicilian coast, you'll admire crystal-clear waters, secluded bays, and breathtaking views. The boat offers comfort and ideal spaces for relaxing in the sun or shade. Stops for swimming and snorkeling in secluded coves make the experience even more captivating. The crew is friendly and professional, ready to share interesting facts about local history and culture. Lunch is often served on board, featuring fresh and flavorful Sicilian specialties. A perfect activity for those who love the sea and want to discover Palermo from a unique perspective.

We booked this boat trip in Palermo about a month in advance as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend, and were really looking forward to it. A deposit was even paid upfront to secure the booking, so we had every reason to believe it was all confirmed and good to go. The instructions were to arrive at the port 15 minutes before departure, which we did. We waited around with no update, only to receive a phone call five minutes after the scheduled start time saying the trip was cancelled due to “choppy seas.” The issue? The weather was perfect – sunny, calm, no wind – and there were plenty of other boats out on the water. It honestly felt like they hadn’t sold enough spots and decided to cancel last-minute, which is completely unacceptable. To make things worse, there was zero communication ahead of time. No text, no email, no call — we were just left standing there on the dock until someone eventually rang. Really disappointing, especially when it was meant to be a special surprise on a birthday. If your time matters and you expect even the most basic level of professionalism, I’d strongly recommend booking with someone else.

This was the highlight of our trip to Palermo! Angela and her son were so nice and welcoming upon arrival! We were with one other lovely couple on the boat and had an amazing day on the water! I will never forgert the refreshing swims in the Mediterranean water, the incredible views and the spectacular hospitality. Angela prepared some amazing traditional Sicilian cuisine for us to enjoy throughout the day and had fresh water ready whenever someone looked a little parched. What an operation! Hats off to the family run Palermo Experiences for putting together such an incredible day. Well worth the money and a great way to escape the crowds and heat of the city. Next time I come back I will be booking this trip again!

We had an amazing trip. The attention to detail was amazing and the team went out of their way to make sure we had a great day. Highlight for me were the freshly made cannoli on board. Make sure you go hungry. There is so much food.

This was such a fantastic experience. My wife and our three nieces ( ages 25, 18 and 17) booked this experience directly through the Palermo Experiences website. Of our 10 day Italian trip, it was our favorite day. The evening prior they send you a text with an easy to follow video showing you how to get to the meeting point. Angela then met us right on time. She and Luca were the ultimate hosts. In total we were 8 people along with a solo traveler and a young couple on their honeymoon. Plenty of space to spread out. We made four stops where we had opportunity to snorkel or use the underwater scooter. Or just drift on a noodle. Angela and Luca fed us several times and drinks were plentiful. Everything was delicious. In the end we were surprised with a celebratory bottle of wine to commemorate our 24th wedding anniversary. Such a lovely day and lovely company. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Went out on a full day of fun and swimming in the most amazing blue waters, celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The four of us girls had the most amazing time and were lucky enough to be the only ones on the boat! The hosts were everything we could have asked for, so generous of themselves and shared some great laughs with us. Delicious Aperol Spritz, street food, lunch finished off with an aperitif and cannoli. Four stops for swimming and fun in the clearest of waters, I would highly recommend this trip, it was the highlight of my daughter’s trip to Palermo.

Excellent swimming, views, food, wine. Angela the skipper is very kind and caring. The spots she took us to are beautiful. Highly recommend

Amazing boat trip! The crew was wonderful and so was the food and snacks provided. They gave us the best cannoli that I have tried in Italy so far! The boat and views were amazing and they also provided us with snorkeling gear, a water scooter, and printed out a picture of us with a keychain as keepsake. A must do!

We had a great day on the water. The boat was really comfortable, the captain was really nice had lots of food for us, lunch and snacks, drinks. The coast is very pretty. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was an amazing day out on the boat. The Captain and crew were amazing. We started out at Palermo Harbor and visited Mondello and some other locations where we anchored and had a great time, swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. They provided drinks and great local food like Arancini. I would highly recommend and will be doing this trip again. Tip is you are driving there...get there early as finding a parking spot might take some time.

Amazing experience, stunning views, great food (arancini, canoli, pasta),Angela and Luca were very nice and very careful, don't miss it

A fabulous day out ! Highly recommended this tour. Very generous hosts, lovely husband and wife team. Plenty of great food and drinks. Stopped at four different locations for swims, all very beautiful and was never rushed. A must do !

The mother/son captains were delightful and informative. The sea and the scenery were perfect in every way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip and great crew. Good selection of water equipment to use. Nice lunch and snack, amazing Aperols! Great value and private hiring.

Amazing tour ! Was blown away with the water, the hospitality, kindness, Alberto and Angela made you feel like family! I went as a solo traveler and ended up becoming friends with the rest of the people on board and we all went out to dinner afterwards. Not only is this affordable , you get to see Sicily from the eyes of a small family business All snorkel gear, floaters , water scooters provided. As well as appetizers , meal, and dessert . I will be coming back again soon and will only book with them ❤️❤️

We did the full day boat tour in Palermo and it was fabulous! Stopped at several places for a swim. The scenery is beautiful. We had an aperitif and a full lunch, which were both delicious. The crew/captain were very welcoming and accommodating. I would highly recommend it!

Beautiful boat experience, new and with many accessories for snorkeling, also suitable for children, excellent food, and wonderful places. I can only recommend this tour. Congratulations to the staff

they did not have a minimum person requirement listed before I booked a solo tour. The boat also does not look like what is being advertised. It is not a yacht is more like a fishing boat. I ended up having to cancel my entire entire boat trip

Great experience: amazing crew, swimming, drinks, food… Thank you! I’d do it again and again. Sicily amazing place. Exceeded my expectations.

Great boat trip, the operator was very knowledgeable about the local area and very friendly. Lunch was included and was local Sicilian street food. Highly recommend.

Amazing day trip! The hosts were wonderful and they have the coolest spots to jump off and swim. We were able to swim in the grottos and crystal clear water with the fish. They provided all the snorkeling/swimming equipment too. The food was true Sicilian food and tasted amazing! This was by far our favorite experience in Sicily

Excellent day- really good fun Angela was lovely and the food was really good. The stops for swimming were beautiful and the water was warm and so clear.

Truly an unforgettable experience. It was so personal and informative. The food was amazing. The gear was so useful to have in the locations to see wildlife. The hosts were incredible and so kind. This was worth the adventure!

Absolutely amazing!! The boat ride up the coastline was great and the spots picked by the host to swim were perfect! The food was delicious and gave us a taste of what Palermo has to offer. Angela was seriously an amazing host, she not only was very kind and helpful but she went out of her way to help us when we had trouble getting to the meeting spot. 11/10 recommend! This was an amazing experience and e highly recommend this excursion!! It was beautiful and Angela is the nicest host one could ask for !! Thank you ! Grazie Mille !!!😀❤️

Great day trip to experience the incredible views of the of different beaches of Palermo. Our Host Alberto and his aunt “Tia” were both fun, friendly and professional. We spent a good bit of time at each of the different beaches with incredible views while swimming in the ocean. The boat was as advertised, very nice, clean and with a bathroom. Highly recommend this tour, it was certainly the highlight of my trip to Palermo. Thank Alberto for your hospitality!

Such a great way to spend a day in Palermo! The hosts were awesome and very accommodating. They took us to many great spots, took photos of the group, provided great snacks, meals, and drinks, and had water toys that were so fun to use (snorkels, noodles, and a dive "toy"). Me and my friends had the best time and met some cool people from other parts of the world! Would definitely do it again!!

Great staff Nice boat Beautiful places I highly recommend it! The food was also good and we had an Aperol drink and water for free! Really nice

It was a great experience for our family and memories we will cherish. Tour company was run by a wonderful family, Angela and Luca were so kind also sharing excellent Sicilian cuisine. Highly recommend if you’re in Palermo!

Great experience! The snacks and aperol were a nice touch. Beautiful water at the stops. Would recommend!!

My husband and I chosen this provider as they were the only ones we found for a full day boat trip with lunch and snacks. Unfortunately I got contacted that I can either take a half day tour or move it few days later (we would have been gone by then). The communication only reached me by a chance and it definitely left the bad taste… we needed to cancel the activity. Although full refund was provided I don’t think offering availability if they are not willing to do it make sense.

Luca and Angela were the best hosts. I highly recommend this boat trip. Great swimming in beautiful waters.

We had an amazing time with Angela and Alberto. They treated us and everyone on board like family. Her food and drinks they prepared were excellent. Definitely book this tour if you have the opportunity to in Palermo, it’s going to be a beautiful time.

Lovely and relaxing boat ride with beautiful swim spots and fun water toys. Delicious food and drinks.

A must in Palermo! Angela and Alberto are very nice, you can ask to put music on board, food, drinks... and the coast of Palermo is really beautiful.

this was the best experience we had while visiting Sicily. We are so happy that we booked it. Angela and her husband were great hosts. They had snacks and lunch on board and it was amazing. It’s a great way to see the entire island. Dolphins were swimming so close to the boat, we caught tuna, and swam inside an oil cave! Would recommend this to anyone & book it a million times over.

Cannot recommend this tour enough! It was fantastic. Angela and Luca are kind and welcoming hosts. They provided so much food and drinks and we visited the most picturesque locations in Palermo to swim in the beautiful sea. The group was nice and small and due to the time of year it was very quiet on the sea. We had the most perfect weather. A must do when visiting Palermo. I will definitely do this again next time. Grazie mille Angela e Luca!

We made the booking at short notice and looking back we’re so glad we chose Angela’s boat trip. Along with her son she made our trip very special. The scenery is amazing. The swimming areas we stopped at were picturesque to say the least and being able to use the snorkelling equipment just made it even more special. It was also my birthday and Angela even managed to find a cake and bottle of bubbly even when she didn’t know until we were on the water. She and her son make the trip special with a warm friendly and family feel to it. The food drink music and of coarse the coastline were great. Myself and my wife would recommend this boat tour 100%.

Angela and Luca were amazing hosts! They were very friendly and provided an amazing experience! They made us a snack and lunch which were delicious! They also took us to amazing spots! I would definitely come back whenever I go to Palermo

Amazing hosts, great food and good choice of places that we got to visit! Thank you Angela & Luca for such a fantastic experience. We will remember it forever.

Very nice day, unfortunately shorten because of the see/wind Nice staff and people Found it a bit pricy compared to the ones we did in Greece

We had a great sailing day with Angela and Luca! The water and views were beautiful. Angela even took photos of us all to send when the day was over so that we could fully enjoy our boat excursion. Thanks again!

Highly recommend Angela & Luca. Had a great day with them on taking a few stops around Mondello, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily. Had one of the best arancini I had during my trip. We played music, sang along, drank, ate, swam and laughed. Angela & Luca you guys were awesome!! I’d do it again! 😃 thanks for such an amazing day!!

This is an excellent boat tour for anyone on their own out in Palermo looking to meet new people! I met a great couple on this trip and really enjoyed the whole trip. The food was great and the staff are very friendly! I came to Palermo alone and this was one of the best experiences I had. Highly recommend

Angela & Luca are fantastic hosts, fun atmosphere and very welcoming. Our group was great, good mix of friends/couples/family. Not too big or crowded on the boat. The food was more than we expected, delicious fresh pasta and traditional Sicilian foods with a good selection of drinks. They took us to some beautiful swim spots and have great knowledge of the area. We would happily book this again and would recommended this day trip to anyone visitng Palermo. Thank you again Angela & Luca !

Angela and Luca were great and incredibly fun, plenty of time for swimming, delicious food and aperol spritz - would highly recommend!
