Full description
If you fancy the sea but summer is still far away, join this 3-hour sailing tour to discover Palermo's coastline!
Learn lots of interesting facts about the places in the area, admire them from the boat and relax on board. When you reach the Grotta della Regina, you will stop to enjoy a small tasting of Sicilian sweets and wines.
Sicily offers magical moments in every season!
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Palermo, where our skipper will be waiting for us. After a short introductory briefing of about 10 minutes we will board the boat, a sailboat of about 10.5 metres, and begin the experience.
Leaving the harbour we will proceed with slow sailing, following the perimeter of the coast. The waters we will cross will be calm and allow us to enjoy the view in complete serenity. Relaxing on board, we will be able to admire Castello Utveggio, Porta Felice and the Tonnara Florio, and then head off to the Grotta della Regina (Queen's Grotto), named after Queen Caroline of Austria who had a private pool built there, carved out of the stone.
We will stop here for about 50 minutes, during which the crew will delight us with a small tasting of typical Sicilian products, which will include cannoli, almond pastries and two local wines, Zibibbo and Malvasia. Those who wish can also take a dip in the sea and do some snorkelling with the masks that will be provided by the skipper.
Afterwards, we will continue sailing to the Tonnara Bordonaro, in the Bay of the Virgin Mary. During the itinerary, the skipper will explain, with the help of anaudio guide, some curiosities about the places we will sail along and that characterise the Palermo area. So, in addition to relaxing and enjoying beautiful views, we will discover many interesting facts about the area!
The activity, which will end with a return to the starting point, will last a total of 3 hours.
