What to expect
You'll board a private vessel and motor along the Calabrian coast, stopping at spots chosen for water clarity and seclusion. Bring your mask and tube or use the snorkelling kit provided; experienced divers can use SCUBA gear. You'll spend most time in the water or drifting between anchorages, listening to your skipper's accounts of local tales and seafaring history. Towards the end, everyone gathers on deck for the aperitif—authentic Calabrian wine paired with regional meats and cheeses. A fresh-water shower lets you rinse salt from your skin before heading back to shore.
