About the experience

Refreshments including soft drinks, fresh fruit, and a light aperitif are served on board, along with a chilled bottle of Sicilian spumante for every three guests.
What makes this experience special is its blend of scenic beauty and authentic Sicilian flavor. You won’t just see the coastline—you’ll immerse yourself in it. T
he tranquil pace allows you to truly savor the surroundings, while the added touches like local refreshments and comfort items make the journey feel thoughtful and refined.
