Tropea & Capo Vaticano Boat Tour

3.6/5
85 reviews

It's no accident that this stunning stretch of Calabria's coastline is known as the ‘Coast of the Gods'. Sail along the coast, taking in the sun-soaked beauty of spots such as, Capo Vaticano, Formicoli, with its famous Skeleton Cave and Riaci Bay, stopping to snorkel in clear waters along the way.

As you glide across the Tyrrhenian Sea, white granite cliffs give way to pockets of secluded coves, nestled between bays and sweeping stretches of beaches. Settle in on deck and soak up the ever-changing vistas, quite likely being joined by wild dolphins along the way.

You'll pass by some of the best beaches in the area, as well as Capo Vaticano, Formicoli – home to the famous ‘Skeleton Cave' – and the rugged beauty of Riaci Bay. Make your way towards Tropea, where you'll drop anchor to dive in and swim or snorkel in the crystalline waters. Enjoy a glass of wine as you relax back on board, before continuing on your sailing tour of the Coast of the Gods.

    L'offerta costa molto meno di quello che l'ho pagata io e il servizio mi è sembrato poco professionale.

    es war leider nicht ersichtlich ob Taucherbrille und Schnorchel im Preis inbegriffen sind. Für diesen Preis hätte ich das so erwartet. Eine Taucherbrille ohne Schnorchel habe ich dann umgehend vom Guide bekommen, nachdem ich ihn gefragt habe.

    Das Personal war sehr nett und hat gute Laune verbreitet. Die Spots zum schnorcheln waren leider große Buchten wo man auch so hin kommen kann. An den kleinen, die nur vom Wasser zu erreichen sind, sind wir leider nur vorbei gefahren.
