    Ricardo (and Brenda, the boat) were absolutely delightful. Great captain, very professional with a lot of interesting facts to tell about the islands. Ricardo took us to beautiful swimming spots and dropped us for lunch in a very nice place! The boat is perfectly maintained and was above our expectations. I highly recommend this adventure! Thank you Ricardo!!!!

    What an outstanding captain! Riccardo goes above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. His expertise on the water is immediately clear, and he knows exactly where to take you—the most stunning bays around Lipari and the nearby islands during a full-day tour. The boat itself was spacious, modern, and well-stocked with drinks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Riccardo, for an unforgettable day on the water!

    Riccardo is very friendly and reliable, knows the area very well and has shown us beautiful spots while explaining a bit about the history and background of the places. He had drinks, a little snack, goggles, towels, etc on board, so nothing was missing. Also recommended a nice restaurant for lunch. We were very happy with our trip.

    Ricardo was very nice to us from the beginning! Communication was perfect ! The boat is amazing and very clean! We choose some tours with beautiful places to swim with turcoise waters. Ricardo is a very experienced navigator as he was in the marine coast for many years and we fully trusted him. Also, the music he choose was very fun and nice! Truly recomand it for a trip to Sicily

    We had the absolute best time with Riccardo! His boat is beautiful and seated myself and 3 friends very comfortably. There is plenty of room for more. Riccardo was so accommodating and knowledgeable of the islands. He took us to all of the great spots. We have never seen water so clear! Riccardo arranged one of the best lunches we have had in Sicily on Lipari island. We can’t thank him enough for everything! Will definitely be back and book another trip on Riccardo’s boat!

    We are Mariela and Gustavo from Argentina and we have spent some wonderful days on the boat with Ricardo. He is a very easy person to get along with and is 200% attentive to the needs of the passengers. He took us to see the best places in the Aeolian Islands and he is very clear about every corner and known and unknown places, always the best recommendations to better enjoy each place. It allowed us to manage our times at will from beginning to end. We feel very comfortable at all times since he is very respectful! Thanks Ricardo and thanks Click&Boat. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE !

    I spent 4 wonderful days on board in the Aeolian Islands. Riccardo, the owner and captain, is kind and helpful as well as an expert connoisseur of the islands, their most beautiful bays as well as the best restaurants. The boat is comfortable and fast, I would recommend it to a friend. Ideal for cruises with your partner.

    We spent two days in the company of Captain Riccardo, a very comfortable boat in excellent condition equipped with all the necessary comforts. Our stay on board was made even more splendid by the presence of a competent, sociable, attentive, courteous and well-prepared captain like Riccardo who, in addition to being a great man of the sea, is also a great person. I highly recommend relying on him for an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back. Cajetan
