About Palermo
Palermo rewards first-timers who see it from the water, where the city's layered history meets the cliffs and coves of the Tyrrhenian coast. A shared boat tour is the easiest way in: the Palermo Shared Boat Tour with Aperitif and Snorkeling pairs swimming stops with drinks on board, while the Palermo: Mondello and Capo Gallo Boat Tour with Snacks and Drinks shows you the beach resort and marine reserve most locals escape to. Both are relaxed, well-paced introductions to the coastline rather than full-day commitments.

Frequently asked questions
Most depart from the city's harbour and stay close to shore, so you get the skyline, Monte Pellegrino and the coast without long crossings. Trips typically run around four hours with swimming or snorkeling stops and drinks on board, which suits first-timers who want a half-day on the water rather than a full day at sea.
