About this tour
Sail along Palermo's coastline during golden hour aboard a catamaran, beginning with Sicilian aperitifs and prosecco as you leave the harbour. The three-hour voyage takes you past Mondello's turquoise bay and Capo Gallo's dramatic cliffs, with Isola delle Femmine framed against the darkening sky. Swimming stops and snorkelling gear included, plus local cheeses, cured meats, and regional wines to savour as daylight fades.

What to expect
You'll board mid-afternoon and settle with a drink in hand as the crew serves platters of regional specialities. The boat angles north past Mondello, where the water glows amber in the slanting light—many passengers wade in for a quick swim here. As you continue toward Capo Gallo, the conversation quietens. The limestone cliffs turn red, then purple. Isola delle Femmine sits low on the horizon, backlit. You'll have snorkelling gear if you want to explore the shallows, or simply grip your glass and watch the light die.
Good to know
Bring a light layer; sea breezes cool quickly after sunset. Snorkelling is optional. Public buses serve the departure point. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The boat operates year-round but book ahead in peak season.
