Air-conditioned transport to the departure point is included.

What to expect
You'll be collected and driven to the boat in air-conditioned comfort, then spend around six hours at sea. The boat heads to Capo Passero, a modest island with sweeping views across the strait to Portopalo. Mid-journey, the crew prepares bruschetta and grills whatever fish arrived that morning—expect tuna, swordfish, squid or prawns depending on the catch. Wine and water flow freely, with fresh fruit for dessert. The pace is leisurely; you're eating, drinking, and taking in the southeastern Sicilian coastline. Bring sun protection and a comfortable hat.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal problems, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. The boat operates in shallow water but can still rock in swell. Book ahead; the crew needs numbers for provisioning. Bring cash for tips and any extras.
