About this tour
This six-hour boat excursion along Cefalù's coast combines active fishing, coastal exploration and swimming in crystalline waters. You'll watch local fishermen at work hauling nets, snorkel among reefs and small coves, then eat lunch prepared fresh aboard from the day's catch. The skipper navigates quieter stretches of Sicily's northern shoreline, stopping where conditions allow for swimming and marine life spotting. Groups receive discounted rates.

What to expect
You'll board early morning and head out with a working fishing boat and skipper. Expect 1–2 hours of gentle cruising while observing net work and local fishing technique, interspersed with stops for swimming and snorkelling. Bring or wear swimwear from the start. Lunch—typically pasta, grilled fish or seafood—is prepared and eaten aboard mid-tour. The return journey allows time to relax and absorb views of Cefalù's Norman cathedral and harbour. Duration is moderate; the boat moves slowly and anchors frequently, so it suits most fitness levels, though those with heart conditions should reconsider.
