The sea is an essential part of Sicily’s identity. Its coastlines, islands, fishing villages, marine reserves and volcanic shores offer a different way to experience the island, away from standard land itineraries.
Great Sicily DMC arranges boat excursions across Sicily for private clients, small groups, agencies and tour operators. Experiences can include sailing boats, motorboats, private charters, coastal cruises, swimming and snorkelling stops, island tours and relaxed days at sea.
Depending on the itinerary, boat excursions can be organised around places such as the Aeolian Islands, Egadi Islands, Taormina and Isola Bella, Syracuse and Ortigia, the Zingaro coast, Cefalù, Palermo, San Vito Lo Capo, Marzamemi or other selected coastal areas.
Each experience is planned with attention to safety, weather conditions, timing, transfers, boarding points and the profile of the travellers. Boat excursions can be offered as a single day experience or included within a wider Sicily tour combining culture, food, wine, nature and seaside relaxation.
