Sicily’s coast hides sea caves, quiet coves and whole volcanic islands, so I’ve collected the boat trips that use a day well. Options run from Isola Bella swim stops near Taormina to Aeolian crossings where Stromboli sparks after dark. Summer sailings sell out; book before you land.
Discover Sicily’s stunning coastline with a boat tour from Palermo to Zingaro, Scopello, and San Vito Lo Capo, featuring swimming, sightseeing, and local charm.
