About the experience

Experience the magic of Syracuse at golden hour with a romantic and relaxed sunset cruise. Departing in the early evening, this 3-hour boat tour offers the perfect opportunity to see Ortigia and the coast bathed in warm Mediterranean light. With calm seas, soft music, and the sun slowly sinking below the horizon, the setting is effortlessly enchanting.

As you glide along the coastline, you’ll admire ancient ruins, charming waterfront buildings, and limestone cliffs glowing in amber and pink. The boat navigates around the island of Ortigia and into quieter stretches of the sea, giving you space to unwind, swim, or toast with a glass of chilled Prosecco. Onboard, you’ll enjoy light snacks and have access to snorkeling equipment for a quick dip in crystal-clear waters.

What sets this experience apart is its perfect blend of beauty and atmosphere. Far from the crowds, it’s intimate and peaceful—a moving postcard that unfolds in real time. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply looking to end your day in style, this sunset tour captures the soul of Sicily’s coastline like nothing else.

    Gaetano is an AMAZING host, he made us feel not only comfortable but as family! He shared interesting historical facts with us about Ortigia and Siracusa, making our tour so much more engaging. We had the best time swimming in the most turquoise waters and in great company. 1000% recommend booking with Gaetano!

    Highly recommended! Our skipper, Gaetano, provided us with lots of information during the tour about the history and morphology of the area, as well as serving us excellent arancini accompanied by prosecco. The boat was very spacious and super clean! A must-do if you're in Syracuse!

    Great day on the boat with Gaetano! In addition to being very friendly, he knows the area around Syracuse inside out. We couldn't have asked for a better birthday present for our friends. The best part: the Sicilian meal brought by Gaetano and the spritz shared at the last stop of the day!

    Gaetano was our skipper and made the whole experience unforgettable. He was both our captain and our guide, driving the boat and telling us about Siracusa along the way. He speaks English really well, which made everything much easier for us. On top of that, he's super friendly, funny and a great photographer 😜. The boat was just as we expected and very comfortable. We totally recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day on the water in Siracusa!

    We had such a wonderful day on the boat with Gietano! We were 5 adults and had such a fun day for my sons birthday. We loved the boat, the route and felt that our trip was made to be very special with lovely touches from a delicious lunch to family photos. I’d really recommend a day on this fabulous boat! 10/10.
