Additional Information

Setting sail from Avola to Portopalo di Capo Passero, we will travel along the coast visiting destinations such as Avola, Calabernardo, Noto, Eloro, Marianelli, Pizzuta, Calamosche, and the island of Vendicari, before visiting San Lorenzo, Marzamemi, and finally Portopalo. This journey along the coast provides an opportunity to take in sights such as stunning sheer cliffs, different coloured beaches, blue sea caves, reserves, fortresses, and two islands. Not to forget, four unique tuna fisheries and Roman pillars.

We will make several stops for a dip in the crystal clear sea. If possible, we will drop anchor near the three submerged Roman columns, about seven meters below sea level. Snorkeling gear, including fins and masks, will be provided to everyone.

Our journey takes us to Marzamemi. Here you can explore the coastal village and if you wish, enjoy some local cuisine at the restaurants. We conclude the tour with a Sicilian style aperitif comprising fresh beverages, prosecco, wine, and fruits.

Join us in the afternoon to experience the mesmerizing sunset.

Wonderful Sicily! - First of all, so sorry for the delay on this review. The tour operator was wonderful to work with. She made sure to accommodate for all our needs (last minute date changes, need for transportation to departure place and so on) and always available to answer questions. I highly recommend working with her as she has great knowledge of the area and can help with any travel limitations you might have. The boat ride itself was definitely the highlight of the trip to Sicily. We simply loved it! We spent all day on the water with a great "sea man" that took as to beautiful places to jump in the water, provided entertainment for the little ones (my son was so delighted to be able to "drive the boat" for a bit, with his assistance of course) and a generous snack with local food and drinks. He even dived to get some sea urchins for us that we got to eat "sushi style". The woman that manages locally the boat rides was also great to work with and drove us personally from and back to the bus station in town so we did not have to rent a car for the day. My family of three (me, my husband, and a 9 year old boy) can't wait to go back. Thank you all for making our trip to Sicily that much special!

Best day on the water! - We had the best day on the water with Salvo! The kids loved it, the other guests we really friendly! We saw the entire cost with many swimming stops to enjoy the gorgeous water. I would recommend this trip for a refreshing day on the water.

Excellent boat trip in Sicily ⚓️ - Definitely recommend this boat tour, the skipper was very friendly and spoke good English explaining the surroundings and history. Many chances to swim in the sea and borrow snorkels. Tasty arancini and Prosecco towards the end of the trip, great experience 😎

Beautiful experience - This boat tour is amazing. The organisation is been perfect, they helped me to find the best ways to get the tour and they were always ready to answer my questions. I’ve seen a lot of beautiful spots from the boat and I swam in many uncontaminated areas, the last stop in Marzamemi was the perfect end of the tour. I will come back soon!

Amazing boat tour Marzamemi and Portopalo - Iolanda organized everything in every single details. She arranged based on other activities that we had planned. She has been always available for any eventual change in our booking. The tour was amazing. The boat was super nice, the company was selected, apero was amazing. I highly recommend Sicily in Travel services

BE CAREFUL - STAY AWAY!!!! I felt the boat was too small for the amount of guests, IMO. The first hour was good. However the guy driving the boat seemed very inexperienced and carless. We almost ran into another boat… if I didn’t yell we would have hit them. The driver of the other boat shook his head and the guests were yelling at our driver. He was talking constantly to everyone and did not pay attention where he was going. It was scary. He also drank alcohol with the guests, which is just ridiculous. On the way back he was driving so fast water was gushing all over us and the sea salt was burning my eyes. I asked him to slow down and he was laughing. It was extremely unprofessional. I had to move to the very front of the boat, and another guest was kind enough to give me their spot. I DO NOT recommend this company or tour. I normally do not write bad reviews, however if this review saves someone’s life, I did the right thing! I am grateful to be alive!!!!
