Admire Syracuse from the water on a scenic boat trip around the adjacent Island of Ortigia. Marvel at the north side of this beautiful Sicilian town as you sip on prosecco and enjoy local appetizers.

Lovely half day trip out, seeing the coast and caves of Siracusa and Ortigia, with swim stops. Delicious Sicilian anti-pasti selection and a great pasta dish to follow. Plenty of wine, water and soft drinks. Great experience!

Stefan C. – Romania

Great views of the caves and the coast (tall boat, so not possible to get inside the caves, but still a great view from outside), relaxing atmosphere, good food (generous appetisers plus main course), plenty of water, soda and wine a available for free. We were 11 people plus 2 crew and it didn't felt crowded, we could sunbathe in front of the boat and on the top floor, we had two stops long enough for swimming. Great overall experience. Would repeat and totally recommend.

This was a lovely day cruising the coast and swimming, with drinks and a wonderful lunch included. First we headed up to see the sea caves, then over to the bay next to Ortigia fort for a swim stop. Then we headed across the bay for another swim stop just off a gorgeous beach, and a delicious lunch including appetizers, homemade Pasta ala Norma, softdrinks, wine and prosecco. Then another swim stop with lots of time for sunning on the upper deck in between. All in all a great way to enjoy the day of the water.
