The RIB cuts loose from Giardini Naxos as coastal lights slide into a warm ribbon — the sea seems to lean in, daring you to slow down. Onboard the MAXI RIB “Aliseo” you sit close to the waterline, sushi boxes balanced on laps, and the illuminated flank of Taormina slides by like a living coastline.
