Full-day private boat experience along Syracuse and Ortigia, between sea, history, limestone coast and swimming stops.
A full-day private boat experience along Syracuse and Ortigia, designed for travellers who want to combine sea, history and the light of south-eastern Sicily.
Syracuse is one of the most important historic cities in Sicily. Ortigia, its island heart, is known for baroque facades, sea walls and golden light.
From the water, the city becomes more legible: architecture, caves, coast and swimming stops create a slower and more exclusive perspective.
The route is shaped by sea conditions and by the tone guests want to give to the day: relaxed, swimming-oriented, scenic or focused on comfort on board.
What the experience includes
Private boat day for your group only
The boat is reserved for the guests, creating a private and flexible setting for the day.
Wide navigation between Syracuse, Ortigia and the coast
The route offers a privileged view of Ortigia’s seafront, historic profile and limestone coastline.
Swimming stops during the day
Stops are selected according to the weather, sea conditions and the most comfortable areas available on the day.
Request and practical details
Boat, timing, embarkation point, conditions and extras are confirmed before finalisation.
