Martina
We had a wonderful two-hour boat tour around Taormina, surrounded by breathtaking views. Mimma was incredibly kind and shared so many interesting stories about the history and beauty of Taormina. We enjoyed an aperitif on board and a refreshing swim at sunset, which made the experience even more magical. A special thanks also to Captain Antonio, who was not only skilled but also very kind. Highly recommended!

Giuseppe and his team from Isola Bella Boat Taormina - Tour & Charter, turned our 2h tour into an amazing collection of memories with stories from our boat captain, floating into blue grottos and seeing the White Lotus hotel! We anchored in the Ionian Sea and dove off our boat and floated effortlessly in the beautiful blue ocean. Prosecco and snacks were served and we enjoyed a glorious day! Thank you to everyone who made our day so outstanding. Special thanks to Giuseppe who helped coordinate our timing with the train from Messina, and with Carmelo who shuttled us from the station to the dock! This was an incredible day!! I will book with Giuseppe again when we come down for our next visit!

During a recent trip to Sicily, one of the highlights was a private boat tour along the coast of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, and Mazzarò Bay. We booked a two hour excursion with Giuseppe and it was everything we hoped for—relaxing, scenic, and luxurious. He had chilled Prosecco waiting for us as soon as we arrived, setting the tone for a gorgeous day. He took us to a few must-see spots along the coast, as well as some of his own favorite swimming locations, which felt like hidden gems. After a swim, we returned to the boat to find a beautiful surprise—freshly cut fruit served on deck. Later, we were treated to incredible cocktails that matched the color of the sea. Communication was easy, both in Italian and English, and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Taormina or Giardini Naxos

My husband and I booked a 4 hour private charter and it was the best part of our entire honeymoon! Our skipper was knowledgeable on the history of Taormina, was communicative and tailored our day based on our personal preferences. He took us to all of the beautiful spots along the coast, we explored many caves and swam in multiple locations. Great value for the price, thank you so much, Giuseppe! We will be back.

We had a great boat trip with captain Luca. He explained us the surrounding area and it was a lot of fun. We went for a swim and of course visited lagoons. I can really recommend a boat trip with Isola Bella Boat. The sea, the rocks and in general Natur there is beautiful. It's a lot of fun and Luca was great. Thanks a lot
