About this tour
A 4-hour private boat excursion along the Castellammare del Golfo coast, following conditions chosen daily by your skipper.

- Cave of Lovers and Vucciria Caves exploration
- Swim and snorkel at four distinct coves
- Skipper adjusts route daily for best conditions
- Intimate groups of 12 or fewer

What to expect
You'll depart Castellammare del Golfo and head into the Zingaro Reserve's protected waters. Your skipper reads the day's wind and swell to chart the safest, most rewarding route. At each stop—whether a sandy beach cove or rocky inlet—you'll have time in the water with snorkelling gear provided. The boat is compact and nimble, allowing access to narrow cave entrances that larger vessels can't reach. Expect a genuine maritime rhythm: some time under sail or engine, some time stationary in the water, some scrambling ashore to peek into sea-level grottos. The pace is relaxed rather than rushed.
Good to know
Bottled water and snorkelling equipment are included. The boat has substantial sun protection, though bring sunscreen and a hat. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, heart concerns, or are pregnant. Infants sit on an adult's lap. Public transport reaches Castellammare del Golfo, but arrange your own way to the departure point.
