+I am still very touched by how Martina tenders to this boat that I called home for the last couple of days and to the people visiting it. Here I created memories that turned the black dot on the map that Palermo had been for me before into a map of colourful images, music and emotions. And after all this I dreamed only of coming back to the quay where Panaby is moored - my little island of happiness. Grazie Martina, grazie mille! ☀️

+**10/10 - Absolutely perfect stay!** We had an amazing stay on Panaby Boat and honestly couldn’t fault it. It was so peaceful and quiet, and the air conditioning was an absolute dream - especially after a hot day! Sitting on the sun deck with an Aperol Spritz, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful surroundings, was just perfect. Watching the stunning sunsets from the top deck was also a great added extra and made the experience even more special. The harbour itself is modern, lovely and has plenty of great places to eat, so there’s everything you need right on your doorstep. It was such a unique and relaxing experience, and we would definitely stay again. We absolutely loved it and hope to return one day!

“We would highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely stay here again.”
+We had the most wonderful stay here, and everything was absolutely perfect , from the location and comfort to the little details that made our time away so relaxing. Our host, Martina, was amazing and truly went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for us. Her kindness and attention to detail made such a difference and made us feel very welcome.
−There was nothing that we didn’t like. My husband and I had the most relaxing break, exactly what we both needed, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay.

“We’ll definitely be back”
+A wonderful stay, a wonderful hostess. A fully equipped motorboat with air conditioning, just a five-minute walk from the centre of Palermo. You couldn’t ask for anything more - I highly recommend it.
−No reason to complain

“Fantastic experience !”
+Martina is extremely helpful and provided plenty of tips and information. The boat is clean, large and nicely decorated. Additional private showers/toilets are available on shore. The restaurants in the harbour are nearby and very nice. Within minutes walking distance you’re in the old town. A great experience !
