Our guide Georgio was really lovely and actually asked the group collectively if we'd rather swim more or sight see more. We picked to swim more but I still feel we were able to see so much of the coast and swam for about 30-40 minutes which was more than enough. We were provided with nice biscuits and Prosecco and was told about the history of the coastline. Only thing is you…”

However, even with the cloudy skies, it was a really nice experience. We had a small group onboard, consisting of me and my husband and 2 other guests. Plenty of champagne to go around! Our skipper, Tommaso, was fantastic. He apologized for the weather, even though there was nothing he could do about it, but made our overcast voyage very enjoyable! He was humorous and very knowledgeable about the city and surrounding islands. He was also quite easy…”
