This full-day boat tour explores the breathtaking coastline around Palermo, offering stunning views and unique experiences. Departing from Porto dell’Arenella, the journey begins with a scenic cruise eastward, showcasing the beauty of the Gulf of Palermo. Guests can prepare fishing gear for a chance to catch local fish before arriving at Baia dei Francesi, a secluded rocky cove known for its vivid turquoise waters.
Continuing around the promontory, the tour passes the Arco Azzurro, a striking natural arch set within a picturesque inlet. The rugged coastline features small inlets, including the Piscine, where guests can enjoy a refreshing swim. A light lunch is served on board before sailing toward the Scarpone, a rock formation resembling Napoleon’s Hat.
The tour then heads to Sant’Elia and Secca delle Formiche, an underwater mountain rising nearly 60 meters from the seabed. This site, rich in marine life and sunken ships, provides an ideal spot for snorkeling. The journey concludes with a stop at Castello di Solanto, a historic Norman fortress, followed by a final swim before returning to Palermo with panoramic views of the coast.
