Description

Depart from the small port of Marzamemi and head north to reach a truly unique place where history merges with the sea. Stop to admire four Roman columns dating back to the 2nd century AD, lying on the sandy seabed at about 5 meters deep. Snorkel above these ancient submerged testimonies of Sicilian history. Continue along the coast towards the south-east to reach the Isola delle Correnti, the southernmost point of Sicily, where the Ionian Sea and the Sea of Sicily meet. Here, if conditions allow, make a stop for snorkeling above the submerged remains of a military wreck, visible a few meters deep. After this experience, turn west to reach Punta delle Formiche, one of the lesser-known and most spectacular gems of the coast. In this stretch find a sequence of wild coves, islets, and small caves that represent a true paradise for lovers of the sea and snorkeling. Then, resume navigation to return east and make a new stop near the Island of Capo Passero, dominated by the historic Fortezza Carlo V. If the sea conditions allow it, try to enter one of the suggestive Grotte del Polipo, natural cavities particularly loved for their light and shape. Continue with a scenic passage in front of the Tafuri Castle, one of the most iconic noble residences in the area, directly overlooking the sea. In this magnificent setting, enjoy an exclusive Sicily Boats aperitif served on board: Sicilian arancini, stuffed focaccia, fresh fruit, soft drinks, beer, and local sparkling wine for a toast with a view. Finally, head towards Marzamemi to return to the port, taking with you images, emotions, and memories of an extraordinary excursion.
