About this tour
Glide across the Strait of Messina at dusk aboard a spacious 25-seat Gozzo, pausing in sheltered coves for a seafood spread and prosecco as the light softens over Calabria's southern coast. This two-hour float combines swimming in transparent waters with a proper aperitivo—think spiced mussels, fried fish, and bruschetta—served on deck. All gear provided, no fitness demands.

What to expect
You'll board a well-appointed vessel and motor out to quieter anchorages where the water runs gin-clear. Once settled, staff lay out seafood nibbles and pour prosecco whilst you float, chat, and watch the sun sink. Most people swim or snorkel between bites—the water's warm and inviting. The boat stays put in each cove long enough to actually relax, not just tick a box. Bring a light layer for the breeze once the sun dips; the shower afterwards means you won't return sticky.
Good to know
Arrive in swimwear under a cover-up or bring a change of clothes. The boat accommodates all fitness levels—no climbing, diving, or endurance needed. USB sockets let you charge devices. Prosecco is per couple, not per person.
