Catania: A day on a boat to the Cyclops Nature Reserve with lunch

Set sail from Catania for a day by boat to the Marine Protected Area of Isola dei Ciclopi, with stops for swimming among the Faraglioni Rock Formations and under the Norman Castle. Enjoy a Sicilian lunch on board.

Experience a full day of relaxation and sea aboard a comfortable sailing boat authorized to moor at the Marine Protected Area of Isola dei Ciclopi, one of the most picturesque stretches of coastline in eastern Sicily. We will sail along the volcanic coast with scenic stops under the Norman Castle of Acicastello and among the majestic Cyclops Stacks, where you can swim in crystal clear waters and snorkel in complete safety. During the day (10:00 AM – 05:00 PM), there are several swimming stops for you to relax and enjoy the sea. On board, you will find snorkeling gear (masks, fins, and protective jackets), a SUP, or, depending on availability, a large floating mattress, perfect for sunbathing and having fun with friends. The experience includes a full lunch served on board: a typical Sicilian starter, a first course of fresh fish of the day (depending on the catch), accompanied by wine, beer, or soft drinks. A convivial moment to savor the aromas and flavors of the region directly at sea. Authorized mooring is provided within the marine sanctuary, with the option, for those who wish, to go ashore at Acitrezza for a stroll along the promenade or rent a pedal boat to explore the coast from a different perspective. An authentic experience combining nature, the sea, and Sicilian tradition, perfect for couples, families, and groups of friends who want to experience the sea of Catania in an exclusive and relaxing way.
