Tips if you are going to do Boat Trips in Sicily

Thousands of people from all over the world visit Sicily each year to learn more about its historical, cultural, landscape, and culinary treasures. The beachfront districts are popular tourist destinations even among locals because the Sicilian coasts are some of the most beautiful in Italy. If you agree, why not go on a boat excursion? We can tell you that a visit to the region's coastlines, islands, or spectacular protected marine places is well worth your time.

This region, which stretches from Palermo to Catania and includes the Aeolian and Egadi Islands and Pantelleria, offers a wide range of excursions and regular boat tours. So, if you're not sure where to go or what to do, don't worry; all you have to do is keep reading our page to see all of the top boat trip deals in Sicily.

What are the best Sicilian boat tours?


• Riserva dello Zingaro: A lovely 25-meter motor ship awaits you for a boat journey along the east coast, just a short distance from Palermo. You can go on excursions on a luxurious Viking Yacht while admiring the marine landscape of the Gulf of Castellammare and take fantastic pictures in San Vito Lo Capo! Visit the stunning Tonnara di Scopello or enter the Terrasini Caves aboard an ultra-modern Stingher dinghy perfect for 10 passengers.

• Aeolian Islands: We offer boat tours in the northwest bay, marked by a dramatic drop into the sea, aboard a lovely wood boat, in Salina, the second-largest island after Lipari. Arrive on the island of Vulcano, also known as the island of thermal muds, sulfur, and the dormant volcano. Here, you can visit the magnificent village or relax in mud baths before sailing to places like the Pool of Venus, Grotta del Cavallo, Baia del Gelso, and Grotta Abate on board an elegant boat that is equipped with all modern amenities. While relaxing on our 10-meter Tornado boat with two FIAT 200 horsepower engines, you may observe magnificent caves such as Petra Lona and Petra Menalda on the island of Lipari.

• Egadi Islands Archipelago: A boat tour on a beautiful motor hull to Favignana, the largest of the islands, will allow you to admire fantastic coves such as Cala Rossa, Blu Marino, Punta Marsala, and Cala Azzurra, where a snorkelling activity is more recommended for those who want to immerse themselves and discover its marine beauties. While relaxing aboard a motorboat in the Egadi Islands, further magnificent stops await you to visit the islands of Levanzo and Marettimo, which are located in the heart of a protected marine region.

• The Riviera of the Cyclops: Nestled along the northern stretch of the Catania coast, the island and the Faraglioni of Acitrezza provide stunning volcanic scenery that can only be reached by sea on a very comfortable speedboat departing from Catania. The Bay of Taormina, with Isola Bella and the rocky peninsula of Capo Sant'Andrea, are also ideal for a lovely boat ride, perhaps aboard a modern sailing vessel. The Blue Grotto is the best of boat trips, whether it's a dinghy or a yacht, which you can find in Western Sicily. It's still near Taormina, but this time in the Bay of Naxos.

• Mondello / Isola delle Femmine: You can enjoy spectacular mini-cruises and excursions by rubber dinghy or motorboat. These will immerse you in a nature reserve, departing from Palermo or Capo Gallo (Mondello) aboard a lovely sailing boat. You will sail by Monte Pellegrino's promontory and stop in the lovely Addaura Caves for a delicious sunset aperitif on a catamaran.

• Scala dei Turchi: Excursions by sailing boat or rubber dinghy departing from Agrigento will take you to the beautiful Eraclea Minoa Nature Reserve, where you will find the Scala dei Turchi, fantastic white cliff marl that drops sheer to the sea, a real tourist attraction, perhaps the best in eastern Sicily.

• Panarea / Stromboli: For a refreshing swim, we recommend the Pomice and Cala Junco quarries in Panarea, which are both easily accessible by boat. While enjoying an aperitif on a sailing boat, you may see dazzling light plays on the islets of Dattilo, Liscia Bianca, Bottaro, and Basiluzzo as the sun slowly sets. The 'Sciara del Fuoco,' a volcanic depression created over the ages in the northern portion of the island, is a sight not to be missed in Stromboli.

• Isola di Ognina (Syracuse): Magnificent coves, the beaches of Calamosche and Fontane Bianche, and the island of the Correnti, where the Ionian and Mediterranean Seas meet, are the lovely stages of a pleasant voyage in a sailing boat or in a dinghy.

• Marzamemi: This beach resort, which has long been known for its fishing, is one of Sicily's most important due to this activity. Boat tours in these locations will take you to the Vendicari Reserve, the Isola delle Correnti and its historic tonnara, and one of Italy's most famous wineries, Nero d'Avola, which is easily accessible by motorboat or rubber dinghy. We offer a boat tour of the Roman columns in these locations for youngsters, which will be visible through the boats' huge underwater windows.

• Lampedusa: Stops at the Spiaggia dei Conigli, the Tabaccara's natural pool, Cala Croce, Portu N'Toni, Cala Madonna, and Cala Pulcino made during a romantic wooden galleon excursion will allow you to fully explore the beautiful and small Sicilian island, which offers a panorama and climate similar to that of the African continent due to its proximity.

How long do these Sicily tours last?


A boat journey in Sicily might last anywhere from 2 hours to a week. If you're looking for excitement, these Sicily mini-cruises have the added benefit of allowing you to visit the Maltese or Greek shores.

We propose looking at the offerings for a romantic meal on a boat or a boat tour with lunch for the more romantics. However, if you have a sweet tooth, an aperitif with distinctive Sicilian delicacies like Avola almond biscuits and Zibibbo, or the famous Sicilian granita, is ideal.
