About the experience

Embark on a full-day journey that feels like sailing through a Mediterranean dream. From wild marine sanctuaries to charming fishing villages, this 10-hour cruise invites you to discover the very soul of Sicily’s southern coast—where nature, tradition, and turquoise waters blend into a perfect escape.

Leaving behind the harbor, you’ll follow a stunning route that includes the vibrant seabeds of Plemmirio and the sunlit shores of Arenella and Fontane Bianche. Further south, the protected Riserva di Vendicari reveals untouched beaches and flocks of flamingos in their natural habitat. Along the way, enjoy long swims, snorkeling breaks, and moments of pure peace under the Sicilian sun.

At Marzamemi, one of Sicily’s most picturesque seaside villages, take time to soak in the local charm, perhaps with a leisurely lunch or a stroll along the waterfront. And at the far edge of your journey lies Isola di Capo Passero—a place where the Ionian and Mediterranean seas meet in a dramatic embrace.

What makes this experience so unique is its mix of iconic spots and off-the-map beauty. You'll explore far more than the average traveler, with the freedom to shape the day to your pace and mood.

Whether you crave open-sea adventure or quiet moments in hidden bays, this long cruise offers a deep connection with the wild and sunny essence of Sicily.

    We loved our day out with Nando and Patricio. From the moment I contacted them to the moment we ended our day, their hospitality was perfect. 5 of us spent the day visiting wonderful spots around Syracusa, regularly stopping for swims in the sea. Lunch onboard was perfect. Highly recommend!

    Nando and Patricia were great. Their boat was very nice, clean, with plenty of space to lounge. They took my wife and me to beautiful swimming spots. They provide great service including drinks, snorkeling equipment, and even some information about the surrounding area. We recommend them highly.

    Nando and Patricia did an excellent job of looking after our family of 7 for a days cruise and swimming around Syracrusa. All the arrangements were faultless as well as choosing a lovely restaurant for a lunch stop. It was a birthday celebration and it was perfect way to enjoy it. Nothing was to much trouble I would highly recommend choosing Nando’s boat for a special day cruising.

    Antonio and the skipper (forgot his name) were very attentive the whole time and proactively provided alternative plans on changing weather conditions. Some of the places we visited were truly astonishing! Overall an excellent day for the whole family. Suggestions: skipper should remove his personal items from toilet, more options on snorkeling fins and masks.

    We went out to sea with Nando a year ago, with our children and our dog. We repeated the experience this year, as a couple and still with our dog. Nando and his wife welcomed us and it was, once again, exceptionally pleasant! Nando's boat is very comfortable, very well-kept and very well-equipped. An experience to be repeated!

    Everything was perfect Nando and his wife Patricia were charming throughout our beautiful day. We saw several magnificent sites from the nature reserve to the citadel. We were 9 people as a family for this beautiful discovery of the most beautiful spots in the region. The boat was compliant, clean and perfectly maintained. We had a very nice day thanks to Nando and his wife. We highly recommend.
