Taormina is famous for its ancient theatre and panoramic terraces, but its coastline is just as spectacular. Exploring it by boat lets you connect beaches, bays and landmarks in a single, relaxed day.
From Capo Sant’Andrea to Mazzarò
The bay of Mazzarò and the rocks of Capo Sant’Andrea frame Isola Bella and offer sheltered water ideal for swimming. It is the natural starting point for any tour.
The best time to sail
Late spring and early autumn bring warm water and gentle light. For photographers, the golden hour before sunset turns the cliffs amber — the reason sunset cruises are so popular.
Plan your day
Half a day is enough for the highlights; a full day lets you reach Giardini Naxos and quieter coves. Book ahead in summer and choose a skipper if you want to simply sit back and enjoy the view.
