A boat reserved for up to 8 guests, with skipper, departing from Giardini Naxos for Isola Bella, Mazzarò and Baia delle Sirene.
From Giardini Naxos to Taormina’s Bays
A private boat experience for guests who want to discover the essential Taormina coastline without committing to a half-day or full-day programme.
This private boat tour in Taormina departs from the Giardini Naxos area and follows the coast towards Isola Bella, Mazzarò and Baia delle Sirene. The route brings together the most recognisable views of this part of eastern Sicily within a carefully paced 2-hour experience.
The boat is reserved exclusively for your group and is not shared with other passengers. This creates a quieter and more flexible atmosphere than a standard group excursion, with navigation and swimming stops managed by the skipper according to the real conditions of the day.
The experience works particularly well as a private break during a stay in Taormina, as an arrival-day activity or as a sea outing before lunch or dinner. The available vessel, departure time and final service details are confirmed with a personalised proposal before booking.
The starting price applies to the entire private boat, not to each passenger, and remains the same for up to 8 guests. Optional services and updated seasonal conditions are confirmed separately.
