About this tour
A four-hour coastal cruise along Palermo's shoreline, calling at four swimming spots within the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve. The boat accesses sea caves and hidden coves unreachable from land.

What to expect
You'll board a comfortable vessel with generous tanning areas and shaded interior seating. The crew navigates a scenic arc along Palermo's coast, anchoring at four pristine bathing spots where the water clarity makes snorkelling worthwhile. Between swims, settle into your chosen spot—sun lounger or shadowed bench—while fresh fruit, savoury nibbles, and drinks appear throughout the four hours. The pace is unhurried; swimming is optional, sunbathing the default. If the standard route appeals less, mention San Vito Lo Capo or the Aeolians before departure, and the crew can tailor something longer.
