Today we went in a boat trip with LA FLAVIA and his captain FRANCESCO....It was a wonderfull trip, we started in the morning and we got around the beautiful LAMPEDUSA Island visiting the best places where you can swim in a cristal water...the sea colours were amazing and stunning...never ever in my life I have seen such a beautifull sea. Francesco is also the perfect captain friendly reliable helpfull and a very nice person. We also had a fantastic lunch on the boat. So if you are in LAMPEDUSA and you want to make a boat trip dont think a lot but go directly to Francesco and his boat LA FLAVIA you wouldnt regret for sure. You ll have a wonderfull experience. GRAZIE ANCORA FRANCESCO E DANIELA...

We have done the Lampedusa island tour with Gita barca Flavia! Captain Francesco and the crew were so cheerful, friendly and fun! We stopped at the best places to be visited for swimming!! Speaking of the truth, I have done the island tour also couple of years with another boat however, I really enjoyed this trip particularly for these reasons:

1) Cheerful captain and crew welcoming us and trying their best for us to have a nice boat trip!

2) Delicious food on the boat including grappa! :)

3) Hottest swimming/snorkling spots were visited on the island, giving enough time for having baths!

4) Safety comes first! As it would be to windy on that day, they only did until the spot they could and did not risk us becoming sea sick !!! (This part was truly appreciated by me :) )

Grazie Francesco!

We hope to see you again!

I spent a few days on vacation in Lampedusa and let me tell you, one of the best experiences was the boat tour with Barca Flavia!!
Capitan Francesco is extremely hospitable and fun!
He showed us all around the island and he made sure we got to see the main attractions like the dolphins and hidden caves.
I also had the opportunity to enjoy amazing seafood freshly cought and cooked by Francesco on the boat😋
I would recommend to anyone that visits Lampedusa to make sure they check Barca Flavia out!

Captain Francesco and Giacomo leading you around Lampedusa, showing the most beautiful seas to dive in and places around the rocks to have a coffee all together.

Beautiful sea, sunny places, giant rocks and a very good company with final sightning of some dolphins.

I'm Japanese and joined this tour alone, but not only captain but the friends who participated in this tour together were really kind. One of the lady Christine could speak Japanese, it was helpful for me. Anyway it was great time. I strongly reccomend you to join this tour. See you, Aki.

Francesco is an excellent capitano, and not only that, he should go into MASTER CHEF and submit the TRIGLIA (marinated) he cooks on board. He is cleaning the boat at all times and keep it 100% perfect. He is extremely kind and really knows his job. I strongly recommend him.

Looking for a boat trip around the island of Lampedusa can be overwhelming, as the offer is abundant.. That's why I definitively recommend you choose Francescso's "Barca Flavia" and I guarantee your won't regret it! Firstly this is a smaller size boat (it holds only up to 13people) giving the crew the flexibility to lead you through hidden caves whiting the cost and spectacular smaller creeks that bigger boats can't reach. To top up the breathtaking views and the crystalline waters you will explore, Francesco and his crew will provide you with a fresh fish based meal, rich in typical flavours, prepeared with passion and expertise and served in the most friendly and relaxed atmosphere. You'll get back after a day-trip on this lovely boat and you will want to immediately book a second one! :) well done Francesco and Marcello! See you very soon! Mille Grazie, Fiorella (London)
