End your day with a peaceful sunset sailing tour from Catania, designed to highlight the natural beauty of Sicily’s east coast. With the Ionian Sea at your feet and Mount Etna silhouetted in the distance, this sailing experience offers a calm and intimate setting for relaxation, swimming and enjoying Sicilian landscapes as the sun dips below the horizon.
The sunset sailing trip from Catania begins at the local port, where you’ll meet a crew with decades of experience on these waters. Once aboard, you’ll sail north along the lava coastline, passing volcanic rock formations shaped by Etna’s ancient eruptions. After about 30 minutes, the boat will anchor in a quiet cove where you can swim or snorkel in the clear waters, soaking in the atmosphere of the golden hour.
Back on board, a curated Sicilian aperitif awaits: you can enjoy local snacks and drinks and regional with friends, or share a quiet moment as a couple or simply enjoy the view.
As the sky shifts from warm orange to soft pink, the sailboat glides back toward the port. The return leg of this sunset sailing tour offers one last chance to take in the coastline and the peaceful rhythm of the sea at dusk. With small group sizes and thoughtful service, this sailing trip prioritises comfort, authenticity and a connection to Sicily’s maritime lifestyle.
Book your sunset boat tour with Sicilian aperitif from Catania and let the sea, the light and the flavours of Sicily create a memorable end to your day.
