Private Boat Tour On The Palermo Coast

We had such a beautiful day with Captain Sergio! He picked us up in downtown Palermo and drove us out to his lovely boat. You can tell he has so much pride in his boat and cares about the visitors deeply. He took us to 4 different stops to relax and swim along the coast, and he prepared us drinks and traditional Sicilian street foods for lunch. He is an extremely kind man and we had a lovely day!

Sergio was professional, kind and very competent. He took us to many amazing spots. The water, fish, caves and food and beverage were top notch. I would highly recommend this boat trip with Sergio. You will not be disappointed. Grazie Mille, Sergio. Well done!!!!! Joe Morrissey

Sergio was incredible. He made sure that my wife and I enjoyed every moment of the tour. He knew exactly what we needed and when we needed them. Bottles of water, towels, Aperitivo, etc. 5/5 would definitely book a tour with Sergio again and I recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the being on the water in Palermo.

Such a relaxing experience, fantastic scenery and a really comfortable and modern boat. There were just 2 of us, 1 a vegetarian, and we let them know in advance - the food we had was lovely, local and fresh. Sergio and Magda looked after us so well. Thank you.

Sergio was amazing! He was kind and lovely and the whole experience was so great! The food was delicious and the spots he took us were gorgeous!!! Would recommend this trip to anyone! It is SOOO worth it! We will be back:)

Wonderful experience with Sergio. Took us to some lovely places with crystal clear water. Shared some local treats from Palermo and also picked and dropped us off at our accommodation. A really stand out experience for my husband’s special birthday!

The perfect thing to do on a hot summer day in Palermo! Sergio took us along the beautiful coastline in his meticulously maintained Invictus powerboat, showed us a secret grotto and found three wonderful places for us to swim. It was relaxed, refreshing and such a lovely way to experience Palermo from the water. Sergio was charming and made the whole experience easy and personal. We loved it and absolutely recommend him.

Such an amazing experience, Sergio & his wife are the sweetest. They made it a special experience. I highly recommend this trip to everyone who wants to have a relaxed but still exciting boat trip, the water & nature are stunning. I had no idea that it can be such a perfect day.

Wow!!! All I can say is our trip was epic! Sergio and Sylvia were the perfect hosts and the boat is indeed the palace on the water to spend a few lazy hours. Incredible scenery and some excellent spots to swim including the caves for a wee adventure from the boat. I cannot recommend this trip enough and a real highlight toward the end of our Palermo vacation. Sergio was first class and the boat is spotless and stunning. Sergio arranged our transfers to and from our accommodation and all went perfectly. Highly Recommended A++++++

Had a wonderful time on the water with Sea Tour Palermo. Had a lovely time from when we got picked up (for an extra fee) from our accommodation. Sergio and Sylvia were very friendly and attentive and safety conscious. Tasty fresh Sicilian snacks and clean boat. Sang happy birthday to our 30 year old son, much to his embarrassment! Great morning out on the Sicilian coast….especially the swim through the sea cave.

A wonderful day perfectly tailored to the weather and our family. A beautiful boat, great lunch and wonderful Captain and Stew. Thank you.

This was such a great way to spend the evening. The boat was very nice and the captain and the guide were wonderful. We stopped in two different spots for swims, then another for a snack, and then finished the night watching the sunset. Truly incredible and highly recommended!

Sergio was excellent, a gentleman. His boat is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Our hotel was 30 minutes away and Sergio picked us up himself, he made the experience so easy. We did the sunset tour, I recommend this to any one looking to escape the noise and crowds, it was peaceful. I’m a snobby man, and this met all my expectations. It’s easily worth the price, to have the privacy we had was amazing.

You are very well taken care of by the captains! You feel very safe and it is an unforgettable experience!

From the very first message to the moment I stepped back onto the dock, this private boat trip exceeded every expectation. Communication was outstanding — prompt, clear, and genuinely helpful at every stage, making the whole booking and planning process completely stress-free. The crew was incredibly warm and attentive. Their friendly, professional service made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another booking. Every detail was handled with care and a genuine smile. The boat itself was in supreme condition — spotless, beautifully maintained, and clearly well looked after. It felt luxurious and comfortable from start to finish. The agenda was perfectly organized. Everything ran smoothly and on time, with just the right balance of activity and relaxation. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked. The catering and beverages were outstanding — thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and presented with real care. Every refreshment was exactly what I needed and elevated the entire experience. I truly couldn’t have asked for more. This was one of the best private boat trips I’ve ever taken, and I’d book it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Sergio and his assistant were so amazing. Unfortunately we had some trouble with calling a taxi and we were significantly late. However Sergio was very accommodating and still delivered on our full boat trip. The spots that he brought us were beautiful. Additionally, him and his assistant were very good hosts and provided such a lovely day. It was truly the highlight of our trip and we will continue to recommend people to book this same boat trip.

Captain Sergio and his mate where spectacular and exceeded all expectations. I definitely recommend this excursion. My husband and I had such a wonderful time.

We joked that we were saving the best excursion for last, and it turned out to be absolutely true. After spending 14 days in Italy and enjoying many incredible tours and experiences, this was by far our favorite. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Capitano Sergio was a wonderful host—warm, gracious, and knowledgeable. He took us to breathtaking spots where we could swim, float in the crystal-clear water, and relax in the sun. The boat was impeccably clean, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. Zazza made sure everything ran seamlessly and that we had everything we needed throughout the trip. The authentic local food served on board was delicious and added another special touch to an already unforgettable experience. If you're considering booking a tour with Sea Tour Palermo, don't hesitate. I highly recommend it—you won't be disappointed. It was the perfect way to end our Italian vacation and an experience we'll remember for years to come. Michael and Christina PS We even spied mountain goats.

Exceptional experience, 10/10! Zazzò and Sergio were so kind and hilarious, and my friend and I had such a good time. The experience was personal, and did not feel rushed or commercial. Not only do you get amazing service, but you feel like you have made new friends! Zazzò and Sergio, thank you so much, we miss you and hope to see you again soon! //Sophie and Capri

We had an amazing half day boat tour with Sergio! The boat was absolutely stunning. Finding the meeting point was a little tricky because we lost cell reception, but we made it, and Sergio was incredibly patient. He took us to beautiful, crystal clear waters and gave us plenty of time to swim, relax, and take in the incredible scenery. We were also treated to delicious Sicilian street food style snacks and the best Aperol Spritz we've ever had! This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend this half day tour. Everything was thoughtfully provided..including towels, snorkeling masks, food, drinks, and great music, which made for a truly 5-star experience. We would absolutely book with Sergio again!

The Capitano Sergio and his teammate Zazza were incredibly kind to us. My boyfriend and I had the best time together with both of them. They showed us beautiful places and we enjoyed every moment. After nice drinks and snacks we had the best time looking at the sunset. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

I took a half-day boat trip with Sergio along the Palermo coast, and words cannot describe how perfect every single detail was. We had an amazing time on every front: hospitality, navigation, and atmosphere. Special mention goes to the aperitivo: calling it "fantastic" is an understatement, it was absolutely flawless and prepared to perfection! This wasn't just a great excursion, it was a truly excellent experience that I highly recommend to everyone. Thank you, Sergio!

I had an amazing experience on this private boat tour along the beautiful Palermo coast! Sergio, the skipper, was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease from the very start. The transport was an additional cost, but it was absolutely worth it — door-to-door service that truly felt like VIP treatment. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and felt brand new — modern, luxurious, and clearly well maintained. There were also complimentary snacks and drinks on board, which made the cruise even more enjoyable as we sailed across the sparkling blue waters. The views of Palermo from the sea were breathtaking. The water was crystal clear — I could even see the rocks below! I would’ve loved to jump in, but the wind was a bit chilly in early November. I can only imagine how perfect this would be in summer. Sergio and his partner were so kind and thoughtful. Despite a small language barrier, they did their best to translate everything into English and make sure I was comfortable the whole time. Their warmth and hospitality made the experience feel personal and genuine. I did this tour on my last day in Palermo before heading back to the U.S., and it was truly the perfect way to end my trip — relaxing, scenic, and unforgettable. Highly recommended! ⛵💙

Honestly, one of the best trips we’ve ever had! Sergio was incredibly attentive, supportive, and organized everything perfectly — always replying quickly and making sure we were comfortable. You can truly trust him with your life out at sea! We made a few beautiful stops for swimming, enjoyed great drinks, and got to see the stunning Palermo coastline. The atmosphere was amazing — sun, sea, views, and wonderful company. Thank you so much to Sergio and Georgia for their kindness and for making this such a special experience. We 100% recommend this trip and will definitely join them again when we’re back in Palermo! 🌊⛵💙

We had a perfect day on the water. The boat is very upscale and the captain and crew were excellent.

Very friendly hosts with clean, well maintained boat. Great places to swim and enjoy sunshine I highly recommend if looking for a relaxing way to spend your day!

Excellent service from our lovely captain Sergio. From start to finish. The boat was roomy and exceptionally clean. Towels provided and yummy Palermo food. We enjoyed some prosecco and beer too. The scenery and stops were perfectly timed highly recommend.

Sergio was an excellent host and even joined us for a swim! Great guide and had everything we needed

Sergio and his partner made the perfect morning for my wife and I. The tour is beautiful and the boat is excellent and well maintained. Sergio is a wonderful guide and host. This is my first time using Viator to book an experience, I usually use the hotel concierge to arrange activities like this—I can tell you after this experience I will use Viator to book with confidence. Highly recommend Sergio’s boat tour!!

It was wonderfull. Very nice service. The captain very friendly. The food and drinks are enought. The boat very clean and confortable

The tour was delightful! The boat is excellent, in perfect condition, clean, and comfortable! Valéria and Sérgio are very friendly and welcomed us warmly; they were attentive, answered all our questions, and even served drinks and appetizers! On top of everything, the place is wonderful — it’s really worth it!

I booked a tour with Sérgio and Valéria, and we spent the whole afternoon on the boat, stopping at very beautiful spots. I want to thank Sérgio and Valéria — they took care of us as if we were family, serving us drinks and food. They were always attentive in case we needed anything. It was a wonderful experience, and besides the trip, we loved meeting them. Thank you very much, Sérgio and Valéria. See you next time! Five star experience.

Sergio and Guide were absolutely fantastic. Totally accommodated the day as we wanted. The whole experience was so enjoyable and we will not hesitate to book again when we come back to Palermo. Some great swimming spots and the Boat is INSANE! Pure luxury, drinks and food delicious aswell! 10/10.

Sergio and Giovanni are the best. His boat is beautiful and he is so welcoming. My two girl friends and I booked this boat for a Saturday morning out on the Palermo water and Sergio made us feel so comfortable and safe. He allowed us to play our own music and offered us great wine and food. He is also very knowledgeable about the history of Palermo and Sicily - he is the best tour guide out there! Definitely book with him.

Fantastic trip! Lovely boat, amazing views and swimming spots. Highly recommend, great way to escape the heat and see the coastline.

Wow - what an incredible experience. We were excited for a private boat outing, and Sergio & his co-captain exceeded all expectations. The vessel itself is large and luxurious. We had several glasses of Prosecco and snacks/lunch (included) while exploring the Palermo coast - they talked a bit about what we were seeing, but also gave us space to relax alone. We were lucky for a gorgeous day, so we jumped in the pristine water a few times. They provided towels and the boat has plenty of shade to take a break from the sun. Sergio coordinated a hotel pickup and drop off for us, so the entire experience was seamless, easy, and truly luxurious. If you’re looking to enhance your trip with a little bit of luxury, I would recommend booking this. We would love to do it again!

🛥️LIVING MY BEST LIFE😂🙌🏻 I had the absolute best time of my life being picked up from my hotel in Palermo by the handsome boat owner/captain on a scooter, driving through the streets of Palermo to the marina and then spending the afternoon on the coast of Palermo and Modello in a gorgeous boat🙌🏻😎 I even got to pilot the boat back to the marina!!! Absolutely one of my all time favorite life experiences !! I am very thankful and grateful to Sergio making this such a special experience for me 👌💕AND he made that super cool tik tok video that I’ve probably watched a thousand times 😂

I had a wonderful day with my friends and we visited lovely places. Sergio, the skipper, is very experienced and friendly. Really enjoyable experience, to be repeated! Super recommended!

truly an unforgettable trip, we had a lot of fun and relaxed swimming in magnificent places. wonderful sea and top skipper. recommended!!!

Sergio & Valeria were absolutely amazing! The views off the coast of this island are beautiful and they knew what spots they wanted to take us to! Had an absolutely wonderful experience where we got to take a dip in the water (my wife chose not to due to water temperature in November), eat apertif, drink prosecco (other drinks were available), and have lovely and insightful conversations with the guides! Sergio didn’t speak English but whenever we needed/wanted to communicate with him and vice versa, Valeria was right there to help! They even offer to help arrange ride from your hotel/apartment in Palermo to the dock and back! Zero complaints at all! Would love to take another boat ride with these two on the coast seeing different spots on our next trip!

Sergio and Valeria were amazing hosts! The boat is beautiful and new, they provided a light lunch and drinks, and brought us to three beautiful places to swim and explore.

A beautiful boat, an excellent captain, wonderful views of the coast and fantastic swimming in the sea. The food was delicious and the wine nice and cold. What else can you ask for? Oh, yes, the great music and dancing we could do while gently rocking at anchorage in a very cool bay.

Lovely trip! We snorkeled, cruised, and got a taste of local cuisine. Sergio and Giuliana were great. Highly recommend.

Me and my boyfriend booked this and we loved it! It was a lovely half day trip!! Definitely recommend!

If we could give it 10 stars we would. We were greeted by Giuliana who was amazing, kind and thoughtful and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were okay. She explained the sites and stops along the way, let us know where we were going and made us feel extremely comfortable. At our first stop we all had a nice chat and both her and the skipper Sergio even came for a nice swim with us in the warm sea too! The food was delicious, the boat clean and modern and we had a couple of drinks too in the sun. Honestly couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day and was definitely a highlight of our trip to Palermo!

This was the highlight of our holiday. Sergio & Giuliana were amazing hosts who took very good care of us. They also had great catering, the boat was very elegant, nice and clean. I would definitely recommend it and do it again when back in Sicily.

Perfect day at sea - great swimming, sunbathing, and snacks on a gorgeous boat. The guide and skipper were lovely and helpful. Definitely add this to your Palermo trip!

Sergio was a terrific captain and host. We went as a couple - the boat was very spacious, it was very clean, and the service was fantastic. Sergio provided alcohol and local Sicilian bites to enjoy, all while he brought us around to several must see spots. It was a great experience and definitely worth doing - thank you Sergio!
