About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- aldomO1887YK0 contributionsGreat experience with AlessandroGreat experience, Alessandro was a great captain, very friendly, professional and guided us in wonderfull locations.Written 21 August 2024
- gianfranco L0 contributionsGreat choice!We had a beautiful day on the Cloe. Crew was professional, kind and attentive. The boat was clean and well maintained. It was possible to comfortly seat either in the shade or sunbathe. We particularly appreciated the fact we were a relatively small group (<30) and the boat size allowed to get very close to the coast and make plenty of swimming/snorkeling stops (5) Favignana and Levanzo's turquoise waters are amazing! Don't bother to bring food, water or your snorkeling gear as everything is providedWritten 6 August 2024
- PatfromLaForest0 contributionsWonderfull day at Favignana and LavanzoGreat experience! We enjoyed beautiful coves (magnificent water and colors), went snorkeling (equipment on board), ate excellent Trapani-style pasta ... accompanied by white wine, and this under the attentive and caring eyes of our hostess (sorry I didn't remember her name!). The cherry on the cake was a small prosecco aperitif with chips and peanuts, served with joy and good humor by the excellent Bobo (the captain) and our female host. A crew attentive to the needs of all passengers. Other good points: the small number of people on board (9) compared to the size of the very well-equipped boat.Written 31 July 2024
- 266rytiss0 contributionsCruise with the familyThe cruise lasted all day. We visited two islands. In one we had about a few hours, in the other about an hour. We expected more stops to swim at the beautiful beaches from the ship, but we only stopped once.Written 21 July 2024
- Voyager522116536250 contributionsGreat experience!!!This crew on the boat Cloe made our day! We had a fantastic boat trip with a lot of stops for swimming/snorkeling, one city walk and a cave visit. The boat is excellent - front deck for sun bathing, in the back if you want shadow and covered upper deck for a bit wind and better views of surroundings. Food, fruit and goodbye frizzante included. Recommend for 100%!Written 12 July 2024
- 663santiagoc0 contributionsGreat, fun, a day full of memoriesOur day couldn’t have been better. Fun fun fun. Marco our tour guide for the day was very good. Drinks are free onboard, and they also give you all water accessories you could need to enjoy the snorkeling and paddle boarding near the islands during the stops. Our group was very funny and we enjoyed a lot. I will say definitely that is the best you can do on Trapani and probably one of the top 5 things to enjoy a day in Sicily.Written 10 July 2024
- trickyt570 contributionsDon’t buy from street stalls.This is a general warning to anyone thinking if a day or half day trip by tourist boat. DON'T buy your tickets from one of the many street stalls or small shops. The price will be whatever they like and the promises are worthless. Dont trust anything they tell you. Our boat was very crowded.Written 10 July 2024
- AnonWendover0 contributionsGreat day on the waves.Perfect day out on the water. Loved the boat and sitting on the bench seats outside watching waves and people. Lunch was nice and crew friendly Would highly recommend this trip.Written 22 June 2024
- Monike C0 contributionsIt was alrightVery nice day out if you’re looking for something to do. Would recommend brining a long sleeved cardigan as it was cold whilst the boat was moving. Favignana was a lovely place that we visited first. We did a train ride for €8 but they only spoke in Italian which the tour guide apologised for but it wasn’t an issue as the views was amazing. Few shops go have a look in too. The second place we went to was very small so not much to do, we went in June was sea was quite cold when we stopped to do the swim. Unfortunately didn’t see any marine life which was something we was looking forward to. You get pasta on board if you have a nut allergy recommend you bringing your own food. It was a red pesto pasta with Almonds. Was quite salty so didn’t enjoy as much. They came round and gave seconds to anyone who wanted it. You’re then given quite a big slice of watermelon afterwards and a glass of white wine. Overall is was a nice day but wasn’t an exciting day. Just a lovely day out.Written 7 June 2024
- 881amiem0 contributionsWonderful experienceThis excursion was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. It was a great day. Beautiful sites. The staff were friendly and attentive. You’ll enjoy it!Written 23 May 2024
- B145KJalejandrag0 contributionsSome very nice boat experienceRosario and Ninni were two extraordinary guides, always looking after the passengers' needs, and definitely fun to talk to. I did not particularly like the islands but it has absolutely nothing to do with the service the company gave us (which was perfect)Written 14 May 2024
- veronicaesly0 contributionsFavignana Boat TourVery nice experience!They served pasta and wine! Nice tribulation! Boat very clean!All the best! Very very nice!!!!!Written 12 May 2024
- Furleys0 contributionsA Holiday HighlightWe were on the last cruise of the season at the end of September and the weather and sea conditions were fantastic. Our hosts Elena and Captain Bobo were brilliant. The day was well planned with several opportunities to swim and snorkel in the lea of both islands in the beautiful clear blue sea was terrific. An ample lunch was provided of local pasta with a simple and delicious Trapani Pesto with a choice of soft drinks. The village visit offered the opportunity to explore and or chill outside a bar. The return trip included a glass of fizz and some snacks. Just a great relaxing enjoyable day with only 12 like minded tourists from around the planet, The vintage Cloe (lounge under cover on the foredeck or up on top) so much better than the larger ferrys and the teen filled skiffs. Highly recommended.Written 7 November 2023
- toniann12340 contributionsLong day, beautiful viewsIf you are driving yourself, it is very difficult to find parking. We finally asked the ticket counter and she had a business card for a company that she could not vouch for, but it was the only shot we had to make this tour. It worked out well, but give yourself an hour to sort things out and get on boat. There is a bar across the street with wifi if you find yourself with time to spare. The crew was amazing from start to finish . Very helpful and accommodating. We missed the boat, but they were able to put us on the ferry to Favignana to meet up with the boat we missed. We lost on hour of time in Favignana, but at least we did not miss the whole day. 1 hour was very short so we just walked to the piazza and grabbed delicious aranicini along the way. Good thing we ate something good because the lunch was not. It was very al dente pasta and so so wine. Hard to serve so many people on a boat, but don't plan your day on the lunch being good. They have water, beer, espresso and cannoli for purchase on board. Jumping off the boat for quick swim was fun and refreshing. The stop at Levanzo was short, but beautiful. This is a long day and the time to do things is short. The price is good, but if you want to see more and do more at your own pace, book a private or semi- private tour. I cannot say this enough, the staff is amazing and views are gorgeous.Written 9 September 2023
- Jako_RJB0 contributionsThe most complete and amazing boat trip from Trapani!We wouldn’t know what to expect at first when boarding the boat, but, my God, what an amazing experience we had. Elena and Bobo were the best, the best skipper-guide duo you could ever ask for. I don’t usually write reviews unless I’m very excited about a trip, but I had to let the people know where to find the best boat trip from Trapani to Favignana. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back asapWritten 13 August 2023

From the flyer it is proposed for an excursion to Marettino "....from €.55,00 per person", at the box they ask for €. 85.00 per person. An increase of 55%, absolutely unjustified, even for the month of August. With these methods, not only tourism is undermined, but also interest in a place worth visiting. At the garage I was told "go back to April or come in winter".

Buongiorno Giulio Ercolino P.,
non è etico lasciare una recensione negativa senza aver voluto (o senza essersi potuti permettere di) provare l'esperienza per la quale si lascia il commento.
In ogni caso, i nostri prezzi sono scritti in chiaro nei nostri siti ufficiali, così come il prezzo esposto nei volantini specifica la dicitura "A PARTIRE DA".
Lei può non concordare la tariffa e quindi rifiutare l'acquisto, ma chi si crede di essere per giudicare quale sia il prezzo corretto per un'esperienza che non ha provato?
Personalmente rimango basita da quanto si possa essere arroganti e questo non "affosserà il turismo", ma sicuramente rende più amara la vita.
La prossima volta, se proprio muore dalla voglia di condividere la sua opinione, quanto meno si sforzi di essere attendibile e, sebbene non fossi io la persona al desk della biglietteria, mi sento di condividere quanto le è stato detto: Torni nel mese di aprile, ma aggiungo che - se proprio deve - magari lo faccia con uno spirito meno polemico, oppure lasci stare.
Del resto non mi risulta che la nostra azienda le sia venuta a bussare a casa per supplicarla di provare i nostri tour.
Un caro saluto da tutta la Torre Lines.

Sono rimasta colpita molto piacevolmente da questa esperienza e la rifarei! L’imbarcazione su cui si viaggia è molto piccola, e questo è il vero lato positivo della gita perché permette di avvicinarsi molto alla riva per fare il bagno nelle calette e di entrare all’interno delle grotte. Inoltre, essendo in pochi, anche il bagno in mare era piacevole e c’era spazio per tutti. Il personale è stato molto gentile e forniva spiegazioni quando ci si fermava nei punti di interesse. Il pranzo era incluso nel prezzo e consisteva in un piatto di pasta al pesto trapanese e una bottiglia d’acqua, consumato presso un ristorante a marettimo.

L'isola di Marettimo e le sue grotte sono incantevoli, suggestivo il giro all'interno e l'acqua non ha bisogno di descrizioni... pazzesca!
I ragazzi della barca e le ragazze che si occupano delle prenotazioni delle escursioni sono stati gentilissimi, disponibili e simpatici... Solari come la loro terra! Consigliatissimo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nous avons été sur l’île de Marettimo avec nos deux enfants de 7 et 10 ans. Le trajet est long pour eux, comptez 2h15! Avec trop de monde sur le bateau si on veut profiter des belles places sur l’avant du bateau. L’aller nous l’avons fait à l’arrière, obligés d’être à l’intérieur parce que toutes les places étaient prises à l’extérieur (avant et arrière).
Les arrêts baignades étaient excellents, un paysage d’une grande beauté et les grottes magnifiques. Nous avons mangé à 14h30 (prévoir un truc à manger avant). Le restaurant compris dans le prix inclus seulement un plat de bateau et une bouteille d’eau pour 4. Les boissons, desserts sont à votre charge.
Le petit village sur l’île est super sympa, finalement 1h30 c’était trop peu, puisqu’il y a le repas au restaurant compris dans le temps d’arrêt! On n’a pas eu le temps de déambuler pour vraiment profiter!
Au final, quand on regarde le prix que coûte un aller retour sur l’île de marettimo, avec le plat de pâtes (très bon d’ailleurs, avec un cadre magnifique) et les visites des grottes visible que depuis un bateau, vous rentabilisez largement en choisissant cette excursion !
