Sailing Trips, Boat Tours, and excursions in Sicily, Taormina, Aeolian Islands

It was a perfect weekend, and thanks exclusively to your services that were more than perfect in every detail. From the transfer to the RIB rental, everything was punctual and super clean. I couldn't have asked for more, given I was organizing a weekend from more than 1000 km away. I will recommend Il Miglio Blue in the future to all my friends. Antonello (RIB rental - Vulcano tour - September 2016)

I would like to take the opportunity to send some "feedback" from us regarding the Charter with Il Miglio Blue. As I already mentioned in Milazzo, we were very pleased with the professional services and how the charter was organized. I personally really appreciated how fast you were to reply for any question we had. Even the boat was in excellent condition. Regarding the skipper Gianluca, we can only say that he was excellent. Not only regarding his knowledge in anything nautical, but also his ability to get everyone involved and share his passion for sailing. Gianluca was able to do the maneuvers while keeping calm and everyone safe. It would be my pleasure to recommend Il Miglio Blue to others and I will let you know if I will be back in Sicily. Kindest regards and see you soon. Sandro (Sailboat rental - Milazzo - September 2016)

Everything was fine, nothing negative. If come back next year we will definitely contact you. Next time we want a catamaran. I will keep updated with your products and services, thank you. (Sailboat tour - August 2016)

The holiday went very well, the catamaran was in great condition and we were very comfortable. The best part was our skipper, Roland, a really wonderful person, professional and discreet. Ciao, Cristina (Catamaran rental - August 2016)

A very positive experience: the boat was clean, and everything worked and was in good condition thanks to the base manager Sparta. The hull was clean, the mainsail ok and the genoa like new. The motor was good, the windless ok, the refrigerator worked, the instruments worked (the gps was new), and the base at Trapani was ok. Overall a positive experience.

Great experience thank you , both the skipper and hostess were very professional and kind. I hope to be back soon, Fabrizio (Powerboat rental - July 2016)

Sailing through the Aoelian Islands was the absolute highlight of our European Summer vacation. The islands are stunning land masses that rise steeply about the deep blue waters. The towns on all of the islands are quaint, but energetic. Each town has its very own feel. unique to itself. The food everywhere is outstanding! Our family of four (kids are age 14 & 12) sailed with Cristian and Carolyn on a catamaran. The boat was fantastic. It was large and had plenty of room for all of us. It was perfect for our family which has not done much sailing. Cristian and Carolyn were great hosts. We would gladly do this trip again, and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a sailing vacation in Italy. Chris (Catamaran rental - July 2016)

Now that I have returned from this fantastic holiday I have time to thank you for the perfect organization. We were very pleased and it was a very positive experience for all the participants in particular given that for everyone but myself this was their first time on a boat, it was a success...Our thanks to the skipper Gianluca who was perfect..he took us to beautiful places for swimming and was always calm and fun which was appreciated by everyone...what can I say more if not thanks again and I hope to see you soon for another boating adventure.

Thanks Emmanuel (RIB rental - Panarea and Stromboli tour - July 2015)

We had a wonderful time with Cristian, who was very professional and knew all the hidden places to discover on the islands.

We were pleased with your services, the boat, it was exactly what we were looking for.

Our apologies that we have waited until now to thank you for the magnificent organization that you provided on our latest club outing from Marzamemi to Malta, even though the sailboat was substituted with a 46' it did not affect our vacation. In the name of the entire crew I send you our compliments for how well everything was organized starting from the transfers. Rarely have I found a company so well organized. Thanks from the heart. You are truly professionals. We know where to recommend people for future sailing in Sicily, and we will return soon. Andrea (Sailboat tour - September 2010)

I don't know where to start: the boat was very dirty, the captain was rude... JUST JOKING!!! It was an incredible experience! Mario is professional, courteous, and very kind and we were very impressed with this amazing experience. The sailboat was excellent: spacious and organized. Overall, an unforgettable memory (and I already did some publicity with my friend). I will send photos soon. Regards Beppe (Sailboat tour - June 2010)

The tour was very beautiful. Short but very beautiful. Guido, the captain, was very kind, always available and polite. You know the sites better than me, they are incredible. There were no problems, rather everyone was always helpful. Thanks and see you soon. Sergio (Sailboat tour - June 2010)
