About this tour
A half-day boat journey along Sicily's northern coast, departing from San Vito lo Capo to explore the Zingaro reserve and Castellammare shoreline. You'll travel by speedboat with a skipper who knows these waters intimately, stopping to swim and snorkel in crystalline coves. The itinerary balances action with leisure—expect time anchored in secluded spots, local Sicilian refreshments, and the chance to see the dramatic cliffside landscape from the water's vantage point.
Highlights
- Speedboat access to hidden Zingaro coves unreachable by foot
- Snorkelling gear provided; turquoise shallows and rocky outcrops
- Castellammare's fortress backdrop and dramatic limestone walls
- Sicilian snacks and wine served aboard
- Freshwater shower onboard to rinse off salt
What to expect
You'll board a nimble dinghy designed for coastal exploration and spend the morning cruising between dramatic headlands and tucked-away beaches. The skipper will anchor in 2–3 spots, giving you time to swim, snorkel among small fish and rocks, or simply float. Bring a wetsuit or rashguard if you're sensitive to cool water. The boat has a sunshade, but bring strong sunscreen—reflection off the sea intensifies UV exposure. You'll eat light Sicilian fare (cheeses, cured meats, bread) and sip chilled wine or soft drinks between swims. Return journey is leisurely, no rushing.
