What to expect
Your skipper will guide the boat along Palermo's rugged shoreline towards the protected Capo Gallo area. Once you reach the gulf off Mondello, you'll have time to cool off in the sea. Back on deck, the cook serves a proper lunch—a pasta course, fresh seasonal fruit and drinks—using local Sicilian products. The pace is leisurely; expect downtime to sunbathe, swim again or simply watch the coast. You'll head back towards the city jetty in mid-afternoon, arriving around 5:30pm.
