Full description
We Italians could give up everything but one thing: Sunday lunch! Yes, even on a boat.
So why not take it on a floating island (as well as a spacious motorboat) away from the hustle and bustle, lulled by the waves of Sicily?
Together with our crew, you will explore the millenary beauty of Ortigia and the wild nature of Plemmirio. It will be 3 hours of pure relaxation, between dips in the sea and a typical barbecue prepared directly on board!
What we will do
The rendezvous is 30 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Ortigia (SR) . Awaiting us will be the crew who will accompany us on this navigation designed to regenerate the spirit and the palate.
We will begin our tour by gliding inside the Porto Grande of Syracuse, admiring the historical profile of the centre of Ortigia from the water. We will then head towards the Protected Marine Area of Plemmirio, where the boat has a reserved anchorage point to ensure our peace of mind.
There are usually two bathing stops to dive into the blue hues of this stretch of coastline. During the stops, we can use the snorkelling equipment, mats and floats available on board to explore the seabed or simply relax under the sun.
If we select the 'excursion + lunch on board' option, the highlight will be Sunday lunch: we will enjoy a typical Sicilian sausage gr illed over charcoal, accompanied by a glass of wine and seasonal fruit. Those who prefer the 'excursion + welcome drink' variant will still receive a cool prosecco to toast in company.
At the end of the experience, we will return to the starting point at around 16: 00. The activity will last approximately 3 hours in total.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is suitable for all without age limits; children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. For children 0-5 years old who wish to have lunch, there is an extra charge of €10. 00 to be paid locally.
The boat is accessible to people with motor and cognitive disabilities and in wheelchairs, provided they are accompanied by a companion; however, access to the upper deck of the motorboat is not possible.
Other information
The activity takes place from June to September and is confirmed with a minimum number of 15 participants. The itinerary and stops may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.
The boat used is a motor vessel, equipped with 3 toilets (one of which is reserved for the disabled) and large relaxation areas. No food or drinks purchased externally may be consumed on board, as the motor vessel is equipped with an internal bar and restaurant service.
