I went with my wife and my little dog Lia to have a beautiful boat experience; we had fun, found hospitality, ate delicious pane cunzato, and above all, there were few people and we enjoyed the boat in freedom, an experience to do. I recommend it.

splendid boat excursion
alikya7, October 2026
splendid boat trip from San Vito to Scopello, sailing along the Zingaro reserve.
The boat was the Eurostar, not very big and therefore few people, managed excellently with stops in the most beautiful places for swimming and an excellent aperitivo on the way back.
★★★★★ Tripadvisor review
Seeing the Zingaro reserve the easy way!
sightseer16, September 2026
Booked tour direct via WhatsApp with clear directions to the boat. There were 6 of us on this half day tour so plenty of room and choices of where to sit or lay on deck. Host was friendly and used google translate on his phone to make sure we were included in the information about the sights. There were three snorkelling stops and all the gear was provided. Before the return there was sandwiches provided with a glass of wine and water. Generous portions but maybe they often have more passengers. Really enjoyed this half day tour.
