About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a boat trip from Catania to the Ulysses Caves aboard a prestigious sailing boat, with an apéritif included. Starting from the harbour of Catania, we will navigate along the coast in the direction of the caves.

During the trip, our crew will serve you a typical Sicilian apéritif to enjoy with the view and cheer to the day.
