Private half-day boat experience from Palermo, between Marina La Cala, Mondello and Mongerbino.
A private half-day boat experience for travellers who want to see Palermo from the sea and reach Mondello and Mongerbino without losing the rhythm of the city.
Palermo is one of Sicily’s most layered cities, and its coastline is often underestimated by international visitors. From Marina La Cala, the view shifts from historic harbour to seaside landscape.
Mondello adds Palermo’s elegant seaside identity; Mongerbino brings a rockier and more natural register. The experience works as a refined add-on to a stay in Palermo.
Timing, route, swimming stops and extras are confirmed according to availability, sea conditions and the profile of the guests.
