Description

With us, you can discover the west coast of Sicily directly from the sea in complete relaxation and joy. Our goal is to ensure you have the best day of your vacation and to remain in your hearts. We do our work with a lot of love, putting our heart and soul into it from start to finish. The departure point is the Balestrate Harbor, a convenient boarding point (especially for those coming from Palermo), which has a large parking lot, toilets, and showers. The catamaran tour departs at 10:00 AM and we will visit the beautiful Zingaro Nature Reserve, with stops where you can admire the fantastic seabed with the snorkeling kit and reach the beautiful coves (Sicily's first protected area). Then you can admire the famous and evocative tuna fishery, the sea stacks of Scopello, and the picturesque grottos of Castellammare del Golfo. Even if you cannot swim or are a little afraid of deep water, don't worry! Our trained staff will swim with you (respecting your pace) or personally accompany you by SUP to the beautiful beaches of the reserve. In addition, you can dive from the bow at a height of about one meter and swim under the catamaran, where the water is even more blue and crystal clear thanks to the reflection of the catamaran. On board, snacks, fresh fruits, assorted sandwiches, Sicilian 'cunzato sandwich', pizza, sfincione, refreshing drinks, and local wine are included throughout the day. The young and friendly crew ensures a pleasant experience. There is snorkeling gear and two stand-up paddleboards (SUPs). The boat is equipped with showers, toilets, and shaded areas for maximum comfort. The catamaran is also equipped with a protective net around it, for greater safety for the little ones and in case something flies by. We also have windproof side awnings that we can open if necessary, especially in the low season or in windy weather. We often also manage to see dolphins, and it's an amazing feeling. The tour is also suitable for children aged 3 months and older. Admission is free for children aged 3 and younger. You can bring a stroller, and you will also find a small pool, armbands, life jackets, and goggles for the little ones.
