About the experience

Two hours aboard a Barqa Q20, the fleet's most popular boat because it allows you to see virtually the entire Taormina coast in a short amount of time. The skipper remains at the helm throughout, and departure is from Giardini Naxos, with the option of boarding from Taormina, Isola Bella, or Mazzarò, or directly from your hotel for those staying at Capo Taormina or Atlantis Bay.

The route passes through the Bay of Naxos, the Grotta dell'Amore, Capo Dolmine, the Fico d'India Rock, the Grotta delle Sirene, Isola Bella, the Blue Grotto, the Bay of Mazzarò, the Bay of Spisone, and the Scoglio dell'Elefante, with swimming stops along the way. Being a slightly larger boat than the others in the fleet, it can accommodate up to six people, yet it remains a private experience designed for just one group at a time.

A bottle of prosecco with fresh fruit is served on board, as well as water and juice for those who prefer not to drink alcohol. There's also a freshwater shower, radio, and a snorkeling kit for those who want to snorkel during stops. For those with more time, a 3-hour version with an extended itinerary to the southern coast is also available, starting at €400.

Fuel is already included in the price, as is the skipper. This is the most practical option for those who only have a morning or afternoon free but still want to truly see the coast, from the most hidden caves to the most photographed bays in the area. The experience is entirely customizable: contact the owner via chat to arrange your boarding time and location. Book now on Click&Boat.

    Perfect day! The boat was in excellent condition, clean, and easy to drive even without a license. The owner was super helpful and clear in his explanations, giving us all the tips for safe sailing. Wonderful area to explore—highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

    Mr. Rodolfo helped us at every turn. We had a wonderful day on the high seas. He truly made our day because we had booked another boat with another agency, and they left us on land. The boat didn't show up. Booking with Mr. Rodolfo was the ideal solution. A very new boat, everything spectacular. We will return. Thank you so much.

    The whole process was super friendly and easy! We lost our anchor during the rental. However, this wasn't a problem at all when we returned it and was resolved very fairly. We'll rent our boat from Rodolfo again on our next vacation; it was a fantastic day. :)

    Unfortunately the boat booked wasn't available but we were happy with the substitute offered and still had a great time. Rodolfo was great and offered us a sunset trip onboard his catamaran to see the dolphins which was an amazing experience and totally made up for the substitute boat!
