The Private Castellammre Day excursion was created with this goal in mind: to offer you a full, private day on a boat, meticulously curated, far from the hustle and bustle of impersonal tours.
With a boat for your exclusive use and a dedicated skipper, you can sail as a couple or with your group of friends or family, with up to 12 guests on board.
The tour is designed for those who want to fully experience the coast, choosing a private experience: approximately 8 hours to explore Castellammare del Golfo, Scopello, Zingaro Nature Reserve and San Vito Lo Capo, with swimming, snorkeling and a lunch break, designed for those who don't want to give up the sea and the beauty of the coast.
