“we had a fabulous stay”

The boat was amazing, far exceeding our expectations and the welcome from Martyna on our arrival was lovely. She had thought of everything and given us heaps of information about Palermo, recommendations for restaurants and entertainment. She welcomed us with wine and snacks and gave us a leaving gift of Sicilian biscuits.

Martina is a fantastic host - she thought of everything and was very communicative with excellent english

“Perfect place to relaxe”

Panaby ist a beautiful boat in a perfekt place. Martina ist super friendly and helpful. She hast a written guide for you and all necessary information ready. Communication was perfect. The boat has everything you need and ist the most relaxing place. Ist is only 5 minutes walk to the busy streets of Palermo but there ist no noise at the boat.

“A Gem of a place to stay”

The host was lovely, communicated extremely well, checking in by WhatsApp and in person. good location

“Perfect Sunrises on the deck!”

The experience was amazing! We loved watching the sunrise on the deck in the mornings! Location was close to restaurants and bars, and the boat had security gates. While the shower was a little small (which is to be absolutely expected - it is a boat after all!) you will also be provided access to clean bathrooms and showers on the dock (that only the people who live on the dock have access to). This was ideal! Our host was excellent! She went above and beyond to share all the best places to visit, all the bars and tips around town. Great Hospitality. We won’t be forgetting this experience any time soon!!

“great way to spend a few days exploring Palermo and Sicily. self catering or eating out”

Owner was great. Very thoughtful and very clear on how to utilise the boat and land facilities. Boat was a nice change from hotel room with nice view of city.

The expierence was great... my little daughter loved pretending to be captain and sometimes a pirate. i would totally recommend the boat house for a change to a short trip away. The roof top terrace was greay in the evenings to chill.

“Perfect, original place to stay in Palermo.”

Absolutely loved staying on this really comfortable boat. Perfect location in Palermo marina, ten minutes easy walk into the city, and close to a number of restaurants on the marina. Our flight was delayed and we were held up en route, so arrived very late, but we were still met with a very warm welcome, and extensive show around of the boat and its facilities. There are two toilets on board, and a shower, and also excellent bathroom facilities a minute away. This cost no more than an average hotel, and was so much more comfortable and original, and it was lovely to be away from the crowds.

“Should you? Absolutely.”

Will we stay again? Absolutely. Should you ? Absolutely. Were the hosts great ? Absolutely. Location? Fantastic. You're out of the noise and the sunrise is perfect.

“Luxury lifestyle close to everything”

We had a fantastic stay on the panaby house boat, Martina and Diego were perfect hosts, very helpful with suggestions for things to do and places to eat, it was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Would definitely stay again. In fact, already looking at future dates. Thank you for letting us stay on your lovely boat. Martin and jo

“What a fantastic opportunity to see Palermo and stay in this lovely boat bang in the centre”

We had the most marvellous stay on the Panaby, it was a little taste of high living being in the middle of the marina on such a lovely boat. Martina was the perfect host, she went out of her way to welcome us and provide all we needed. There’s something rather special about sitting on the top deck sharing the bottle of chilled white wine she kindly gave us and watching the sun go down. Location couldn’t be better, it was the perfect start to our holiday.

Wonderful welcome! The place is unique, quiet, clean, and close to the center. The bed was excellent and the kitchen very well equipped. Everything was spotless! Martina is an incredibly thoughtful host — she replies quickly and provides all the necessary information. Thank you so much for the local treats and for making our stay in Palermo such a lovely experience!

“Beautiful stay at Panaby boat”

We had an exceptional time at Panaby boat. Everything was perfect: good sleep, full kitchen, location next to restaurants, cafés and dancing fountain which we could watch and hear music from the upper deck. It was so beautiful. Martina and Diego were amazing hosts.

“Just Lovely 😍😍😍”

Everything is just great!!!Nice and clean, cosy and peaceful far from street noise 😍😍😍 Martina is the best host ever!!!

Highly recommended. Had an amazing stay - great hosts, good location in Palermo and a nice spacious boat.

“Absolutely wonderful”

Neither I nor the friend I was travelling with have stayed in a boat before instead of a hotel, but we took a chance as it looked great and had excellent reviews. It far exceeded our expectations. The hosts were just lovely — extremely kind and helpful. The boat was wonderful and it’s location was so convenient. There’s a parking lot a short walk away and you’re a short walk to Palermo’s downtown and major attractions. We were so impressed. I hope to be able to go back again before long.

“We Love to come again❤️”

The Personal charm whos in every lil Detail.And Martina und Diego are soooo kind...🫶🏻❤️

“A cool experience in Palermo”

All was super nice, boat looks like on the photos, and the owners take care of all. Even in bad weather it is a great experience.

“This exceeded my expectations and we enjoyed every minute! 😀”

The boat was in a great location in the marina. The deck space is really lovely for enjoying the sunshine. The host is very helpful and goes out of her way to ensure you get the best out of your stay.

“We loved staying at the boat”

This was the first time that I rented a boat for accommodation, and I have to say this will not be the last time, we really loved it. The aria was very nice and safe. We also tried some of the restaurants at the harbor and everything was great. The owner did everything to make our stay memorable
