About this tour
Spend seven hours cruising along Italy's Costa degli Dei, a stretch of Calabrian coastline where hidden coves and turquoise waters dominate the scenery. Your skipper navigates to the region's best anchorages, sharing local knowledge whilst you drift between swims. The day builds toward a generous spread of regional specialities and fresh fruit—the kind of aperitivo you'll find in waterfront trattorias, not tourist menus.
Highlights
- Skipper-guided exploration of Calabria's most picturesque coastal spots
- Snorkel gear provided; swim in sheltered bays and rocky inlets
- Aperitivo featuring local Calabrian charcuterie, cheese, and seasonal produce
- Seven-hour rhythm balances navigation with unhurried anchoring time
- Regional storytelling from someone who knows the coast intimately
What to expect
Expect a laid-back boat day, not a tick-box itinerary. You'll motor between scenic stops, spending real time at each rather than photographing from the water. The skipper handles logistics while you decide whether to swim, read, or chat. Snorkelling kit is on hand if the mood takes you. Late morning or early afternoon, the boat settles at a quiet spot and out comes the food—proper Calabrian fare, olives, cured meats, cheeses, and whatever fruit is in season. It's casual, social, and genuinely regional rather than packaged.
Good to know
Cardiovascular fitness is assumed for a full day afloat. Public transport reaches the departure point easily. Bring sun protection and a light layer for wind at sea. Swimming ability helps but isn't mandatory—snorkelling is optional.
