Cannot recommend this tour enough. Lulu and Ivana were incredible hosts, and this has definitely been highlight of our trip. Thank you so much!

Very fun and beautiful sail boat. The wind wasn’t picking up so we sailed as much as we could and then used the motor. Plenty of snacks and drinks. Very kind host. Felt very comfortable the whole time. Beware of the sea sickness being out in the sea. I had to lay down for majority of the ride but my husband had a great time!

Full description

Discover the Ionian Sea on a sailing trip from Catania. Sail past the Castle of Aci Castello, marvel at the centuries-old lava flow rocks, and go for a dip in the refreshing water.
After meeting the skipper at the port of Catania, board your sailboat and head towards Aci Trezza. As you sail, learn about the terrain and history of the area from your guide. Cruise by rocks created by ancient lava flowing into the sea and spot the plants hardy enough to grow there.
Continue past the Castle of Aci Castello, jutting into the sea on a teetering cliff. Once you reach Aci Trezza, dive into the water for a refreshing swim. Use the snorkeling gear on board to spot tropical fish, or try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding.
After returning to the boat, enjoy a glass of Italian Bubbles and some local appetizers like flavored cheese, dry tomatoes, cold cuts, and bread with creams before sailing back to Catania Port.
