About the experience

Embark on a 4-hour half-day exploration aboard our Cranchi Mediterranée 41 "Brira" yacht, departing from Syracuse. The tour focuses on the northern side of the city, offering a unique perspective on its historical and natural coastal heritage.

The sail will begin with a view of the historic center, quickly heading towards the evocative sea caves. We'll explore the rocky coast to spot the unique heart-shaped cave and the formations known as the Grotta dei Due Frati (Grotto of the Two Friars).

The journey will continue to the area of the old Santa Panagia tonnara, where we'll stop. Here, you'll be able to admire the monument to those who fell from the water, in an area rich in maritime history.

You'll have time for an unforgettable swim, exploring with snorkeling equipment or paddling on a stand-up paddleboard. The powerful jet ski will be available in a safe area. You'll be welcomed aboard with a welcome drink and can enjoy prosecco and a light snack at anchor.

    From beginning to end, our experience on Antonio‘s boat was exceptional. He was great with communication, timely responding to all of our questions. He was welcoming when we arrived with a huge smile. He took us down the coastline explaining the various landmarks and then took us to two different swimming spots, which were beautiful. He had floated, masks, snorkels, and flippers for us to use. And when we finished with our swim, he had prepared snacks with Prosecco, beer and water for us to enjoy. Spending time on Antonio’s boat was the highlight of our trip to Siracusa. I recommend Antonio and his boot without hesitation.

    This was an amazing boat experience! My family and I did this for one of our excursions on our visit here and it made our trip so special! Antonio and Stefani were fantastic. The boat was a perfect size snd we visited a few beautiful spots for swimming on the coast. I would highly recommend doing this boat if you are visiting siracusa/ortigia!!

    Wir waren fünf Erwachsene und ein 1,5 Jahre altes Kleinkind. Der Bootseigner ist super freundlich und der Boat Trip war für alle wirklich wunderschön. Man kann entspannen und wird mit Getränke und Snacks verköstigt. Andererseits kann man jederzeit in der schönen Gegend von Siracusa baden gehen. Sehr weiter zu empfehlen! Danke, Toni!

    This was the absolute best boating experience we could’ve asked for! The boat is beautiful and clean and very comfortable and spacious. Tony and his colleague treated us like VIPs and were amazing with our two-year old girl, by helping her to get to different parts of the boat to enjoy the views. The snacks were delicious and the array of cheeses and breads made for the right snack on a beautiful day. Tony was also our personal photographer throughout the excursion and gave us some of the best pictures of our entire trip. We also discovered a very cool Canada connection during our conversation which was nice. I would wholeheartedly recommend this excursion for anyone wanting to explore the beauty of Syracuse by water. They are simply the BEST!!!
