Enjoy the mini cruises in the beautiful Zingaro Reserve and the Faraglioni of Scopello up to San Vito Lo Capo. Do you want to rent a motorboat? Do you want the Skipper service? Do you want to try the experience of fishing on the boats of real fishermen? Lots of boat trips that leave just a stone’s throw away from your hotel after enjoying breakfast directly on our terrace overlooking the sea, all in a very romantic setting.
