A daydream at the Zingaro Reserve! - The boat tour with Maurizio is pure magic!
From San Vito Lo Capo to the Tonnara di Scopello, every moment was an incredible emotion.
We sailed along the coast admiring all seven coves of the Zingaro Reserve. The water, a crystalline and inviting green.
We stopped for four bathroom stops in dream places, completely surrounded by nature.
But the real touch of class was entering two secret caves, a truly adventurous experience!
On board the atmosphere was perfect: music and laughter, thanks to the overwhelming sympathy of Maurizio, who not only steers the boat with great skill, but also knows how to tell funny and interesting anecdotes.
And to top it off, an aperitif that exceeded all expectations: exquisite cunzato bread, homemade pastries that were a real cuddle and an excellent Sicilian wine.
This tour is not just an outing, but a pure emotion that will remain in your heart.
Absolutely recommended!

Experience from 10 and praise!! - Everyone should have Captain Maurizio as captain!!! Very nice, with a love for what he does that you hardly see around! He involved us and explained everything we saw around us, from the coves to the Saracen towers to the trap and the Scopello stacks. He's been a great entertainer with all of us and it's impossible not to fall in love with the places that only he knows and loves since he was little ❤️ Also he has patience and assistance to those like me who were hesitant to jump into the water and I must say that only he could do it! On board you will find jackets and rubber hoses if you are afraid of high water, masks and fins if you are a snorkeler. Finally, he will delight you with an aperitif on board with typical bread!
What can I say, thank you immensely, Maurizio!! You are number one!!

San Vito to Scopello with lots of room to lay on comfy mattresses in the sun or sit in the shade & a really fun captain - If your idea is a packed boat with nowhere to lay down or sit comfortably, this is not the right trip for you. WOW, on the first day we did the similar tour (San Vito to Scopello) on another boat in the afternoon - the whole tour is amazing - the swimming! We saw the Marlin on the first day and it looked magical. So the next afternoon we did the same tour. The Marlin stopped 4 times for swimming (vs 3 the day prior). There is so so much space to be comfortable. Space for 2 people to fully lay on pads on the roof, 3-4 people to fully lay on pads on the front. Lots of seats inside in the shade. The maximum passengers is like 12. The last stop we jumped off the roof (including the captain!). The captain is GREAT fun! The Marlin costs slightly more EUR than some of the other similar tours but it is worth double!
