Boat excursions in Italy offer a breathtaking experience among enchanting coastal landscapes and crystal clear waters that lap ancient villages and charming seaside towns. Along the coasts of the Peninsula, from the Ligurian Riviera to beautiful Sicily and picturesque Sardinia, there are endless opportunities to explore the sea by boat.

Itineraries can include visits to remote coves, hidden caves, breathtaking cliffs, and enchanted islands, enriching the experience with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and stops to sample local delicacies at seaside restaurants. Each region offers its own uniqueness, with opportunities to stumble upon historic sites, protected nature reserves, and unforgettable vistas, making boat trips an unmissable opportunity to explore the natural and cultural beauty of Italy's coastline.

After a visit to Sant'Andrea and Cotoncello, the return to the port of Marina di Campo is a route dedicated to the search for dolphins.

Navigation will be to the southeast coast of the island, very close to the coast, with one of the first stops at la Cala del Fico, a cave halfway between Ripa Nera and Capo di Fonza, with central access, perfect for snorkelers.

Continuing the tour, one encounters the Spiaggia degli Acquarilli and the Spiaggia del Felciaio, and a little further on, the Spiaggia dell'Innamorata.

Boat Tour with snorkeling to Capo Carbonara from Villasimius

Explore the seabed of the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area with a dinghy and snorkeling excursion, departure will be from Villasimius marina.

Snorkeling is a very simple activity, also suitable for children. One or more guides will accompany the group to swim near the coast, on the surface of the water, giving some information regarding the marine area and biodiversity.

All equipment will be provided on board, mask, snorkel, fins, neoprene wetsuit, and for those who wish, a float jacket. There is always water, hot or iced tea depending on the period, and snacks for the break (salted crackers and cookies).

Normally snorkeling is done at two/three different stops in the marine area, with a break in between. It is recommended to bring flip-flops or beach sandals.

Sea Baptism

An exclusive experience to experience the thrill of breathing underwater for the first time. A dive with a private guide, 1:1 ratio underwater for about 20 minutes.

The activity is preceded by a small theoretical lesson to familiarize you with the equipment and the main rules of diving. Once the equipment is donned, you stay on the surface for a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the marine environment and equipment.

You slowly descend to a maximum depth of 5 meters for those over 10 years old or a maximum depth of 2 meters for those 8 to 10 years old.

Excursions occur daily in the morning at 8:30 a.m. and return at about 12:30/13:00 p.m. and in the afternoon at 2:30 p.m. until about 6:30 p.m.
