About the experience

Set sail on an unforgettable journey along Sicily’s most iconic coastline. The “Esperienza Polifemo” invites you to discover ancient legends, breathtaking seascapes, and the vibrant soul of the Mediterranean — all from the comfort of a private boat. This full-day cruise is a true immersion into the natural and cultural beauty of eastern Sicily.

Departing from Giardini Naxos, your day begins with a scenic cruise toward the south, passing dramatic cliffs and volcanic formations. Your first major stop is the legendary Aci Trezza, home of the Faraglioni dei Ciclopi — basalt sea stacks tied to the tale of Polyphemus from Homer’s Odyssey. Swim, snorkel, or simply marvel at the otherworldly scenery.

Next, the journey continues north along the Taormina coastline. Drop anchor near Isola Bella or Baia di Mazzarò, where turquoise waters and lush landscapes offer the perfect backdrop for swimming and sunbathing.

For lunch, enjoy an optional stop at a seaside restaurant where you can sample authentic Sicilian flavors right on the beach. Throughout the cruise, your experienced skipper ensures maximum comfort and safety while adapting to the day’s weather and sea conditions.

This exclusive tour is ideal for couples, families, or small groups seeking privacy, beauty, and flexibility. Please note that pets are not permitted on this experience.
