About this tour
Explore Palermo's coastal treasures aboard a nimble 10-metre boat with just 11 others. This eight-hour private charter takes you to Mondello beach and the Capo Gallo marine reserve, where shallow coves and crystalline water beckon. Small vessel means you'll slip into swimming spots that larger cruises can't reach, ducking into rock formations and snorkelling above sea grass beds. Drinks and snorkelling kit included.
Highlights
- Access coves unreachable by full-size tour boats
- Capo Gallo protected marine reserve exploration
- Eight hours of flexible swimming and snorkelling
- Maximum 12 passengers, intimate group size
- Provided snorkelling gear and bottled refreshments
What to expect
Expect a nimble ride hugging Palermo's northern coastline with stops that suit the boat's shallow draft. You'll anchor in transparent bays where the seabed is visible, ideal for mask-and-snorkel exploration. The crew chooses spots based on conditions and wind, so flexibility beats rigid itineraries. Bring sun protection; there's limited shade on deck. The boat handles well in moderate sea state, though chop can build by afternoon.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or heart conditions. Infants welcome in prams. Public transport nearby for transfers. Seasickness pills advised if prone. Bring a rashguard or wetsuit for comfort during extended water time.
