About the experience

Two hours aboard a Barqa Q20, the fleet's most popular boat because it allows you to see virtually the entire Taormina coast in a short amount of time. The skipper remains at the helm throughout, and departure is from Giardini Naxos, with the option of boarding from Taormina, Isola Bella, or Mazzarò, or directly from your hotel for those staying at Capo Taormina or Atlantis Bay.

The route passes through the Bay of Naxos, the Grotta dell'Amore, Capo Dolmine, the Fico d'India Rock, the Grotta delle Sirene, Isola Bella, the Blue Grotto, the Bay of Mazzarò, the Bay of Spisone, and the Scoglio dell'Elefante, with swimming stops along the way. Being a slightly larger boat than the others in the fleet, it can accommodate up to six people, yet it remains a private experience designed for just one group at a time.

A bottle of prosecco with fresh fruit is served on board, as well as water and juice for those who prefer not to drink alcohol. There's also a freshwater shower, radio, and a snorkeling kit for those who want to snorkel during stops. For those with more time, a 3-hour version with an extended itinerary to the southern coast is also available, starting at €400.

Fuel is already included in the price, as is the skipper. This is the most practical option for those who only have a morning or afternoon free but still want to truly see the coast, from the most hidden caves to the most photographed bays in the area. The experience is entirely customizable: contact the owner via chat to arrange your boarding time and location. Book now on Click&Boat.

We had a great experience renting the boat! The captain was very friendly and welcoming. He shared interesting stories and insights about the places we passed, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We also had the chance to use some additional equipment for swimming, which added to the fun. Overall, everything went smoothly and just as expected. Highly recommended!

The skipper was late arriving, instead of 9 he arrived at 10. The speakers did not work. We also ordered a jet ski, we had to wait 30 minutes for it in the middle of the sea. There were no swimming goggles on the boat, so we couldn't snorkel at the sites. The light refreshments arrived 30 minutes before returning to the dock, so we didn't need it. Rodolfo avoided talking to us, simply ran away.
