The sea off Catania has a myth problem. You’ll cruise toward the islands tied to the Cyclops legends, then spend serious time at the Ulysses caves area with swimming and snorkeling, all while the skipper runs a smooth, safe ride.…
Coves, snorkels, and lunch on the water. This yacht excursion to Favignana and Levanzo is built for an easy day out: you get multiple swimming stops in protected coves, plus snorkeling gear included (mask and snorkel tube with fins). You…
A sail day in Palermo can feel like a reset button. You’ll leave the port, learn the basics from the captain, then spend hours off the Gulf of Mondello with a swim stop near the Capo Gallo reserve. The best…
Sailing off the Catania coast feels like a reset button. This half-day, skipper-led cruise along the Riviera dei Ciclopi pairs big scenery with storytelling—medieval Acicastello, the caves of Ulysses, and the seaside village of AciTrezza—so you don’t just drift, you…
White cliffs and clear water, zero rush. That’s the vibe of this 4-hour catamaran tour along Sicily’s south coast, built around two swim-ready stops and one classic white-rock viewpoint. I especially like the small group size (max 8) and the…
A 7-hour sail from Catania feels like Sicily on a postcard. What I like most is the small-group setup (about 6 guests, up to 8) and the hands-on time to swim and snorkel in clear water while the crew tells…
A private yacht day on Pantelleria is hard to beat. I like how the crew handles things from boarding to your return, and how the food is described as a good standard with plenty to eat. The one thing to…

A sunset sail near Etna is hard to beat. You’ll love the Mediterranean breeze and the way the route lines up with the Ulysses Caves area while you sip prosecco. One thing to keep in mind: the swimming stop is…
A sunset at sea beats another beach day. This catamaran cruise combines dolphin watching with a guided coast tour, a swim stop, and an included aperitif with Sicilian bites. I love the fact that it’s on a big catamaran with…
A day on a yacht near Catania feels special. You’ll cruise the volcanic shoreline, stop at the Cyclops Islands area, and get time to swim and learn a bit about sailing from the crew. The mix of ocean time, clear-water…
Sicily from the water feels different fast. This Catania coastline sailing gives you big views of the city and Mount Etna from a spot you just can’t reach on land. On board with crews like Ivan and Giulia, I like…
