What to expect
You'll collect your boat and receive a quick briefing on handling and local waters before heading out. The Golfo di Castellammare offers sheltered bays ideal for novice skippers—no aggressive currents or technical navigation required. You'll motor past limestone cliffs, pull into shallow turquoise anchorages, and have time to swim or explore small beaches.
