Barbara
Our experience with Blue Diamond Excursions was the highlight of our trip to the beautiful island of Sicily. We took a private 3 hour coastal tour that was absolutely amazing! The lunch and Prosecco were unbelievable. As was the captain and his beautiful wife.. 3 hours just flew by! The entire tour exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough about our adventure aboard the Blue Diamond. I have never had fresher oysters in my life. Thank you both again Barbara from Boston

We had a brilliant half day trip with Graziella & Soro on the Blue Diamond boat. The boat was very spacious for our party of 5, very well maintained, clean & comfortable. We had a lovely trip sailing along the coast stopping to swim in crystal clear waters before lunch. The Sicilian-style lunch prepared by Graziella was perfect & included fresh oysters & drinks. It was really a perfect day & a great way to escape the heat in of Taormina. I would not Jesus take to recommend Blue Diamond & will def use them again in future if we return to Taormina :-)

We had an unforgettable boat tour today at Giardini di Naxos with my family, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Graziella and her husband, Captain Saro, were exceptional hosts, warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. Before booking, we were told this was the best boat and the best team. Honestly, we thought it might be an exaggeration, but after our experience, we can confidently say we had underestimated them. Everything exceeded our expectations. The boat itself was brand new and simply stunning, comfortable, elegant, and impeccably maintained. As we cruised along the coast, Graziella shared fascinating stories and insights about the history and natural beauty of Sicily. Their passion and deep knowledge made the experience even more special. And then came the “light lunch,” which turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. Fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. It was the perfect touch to an already wonderful outing. This was not just a boat tour; it was a heartfelt, authentic Sicilian experience. Highly recommended. Thank you Graziella and Captain Saro for a truly magical day!

I cannot say enough good things about this experience, it was absolutely incredible! We started the tour along the coast line seeing the different caves with Prosecco in hand. We stopped for a nice swim and all towels were provided for by the boat! Then a tasty appetizer spread after the swim. This boat is SO NICE, and brand new! Worth every penny, if we could do it again this trip we would!

We had a spectacular time with Blue Diamond. The welcome on board was very special with flowers, the picnic lunch on board was amazing, the family staff was very welcoming and sweet. They were patient with our children and accommodated them in all aspects. The tour on the water was amazing. The caves were very impressive. We had such a great time and will remember the experience.
