Catania: Sunset Sailing with Aperitif and Swimming (4h)

Step aboard in Catania’s port and begin your sunlit sailing adventure with a refreshing welcome drink and a selection of local bites — just a hint of the delights to come. After a brief briefing, we set sail along the stunning Cyclops Riviera, leaving the city behind as the warm glow of golden hour illuminates the lava-shaped coastline. Stretch out on deck, capture photos of the dramatic scenery, or try a few basic sailing techniques — simple, hands-on ways to feel part of the crew while enjoying the serene atmosphere. Music drifts through the air as we glide toward the Ulysses Caves near Ognina, where the sparkling waters invite you to swim or simply relax in a quiet bay. Paddleboards and floaties are available for added fun, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

As the sun softens and the sea mirrors the changing sky, we raise the sails and head back toward Catania. While you soak in the coastal views, a Sicilian aperitif is served on board, featuring local snacks paired with wine, beer, or your preferred drink. The gentle rocking of the boat, the taste of local flavors, and the warm light of the setting sun create a peaceful, unforgettable end to the day. By the time the city lights begin to twinkle, you’ll return to port with a little salt on your skin, a smile on your face, and memories of a truly special sailing experience.
