A Cinematic Experience Between Sea and Nature Step aboard our majestic catamaran during the most magical hour of the day: sunset. Our company proudly boasts collaborations with major international film productions, including Disney’s "The Little Mermaid," "Indiana Jones 5," and the hit HBO series "The White Lotus II." Today, we offer you that same excellence for an unforgettable journey along the coast of Taormina. Dolphins at Sunset: A Multi-Sensory Encounter As the sun begins to set behind Mount Etna, we will sail into the open sea in search of dolphins in their natural habitat. Sunset is a prime time for these majestic creatures to play among the waves. Thanks to our professional nautical binoculars and on-board hydrophone, you can spot them clearly and listen to their underwater vocalizations in real-time. With a bit of luck, you may encounter Bottlenose dolphins, Striped dolphins, Fin whales, or even the magnificent Caretta Caretta sea turtle, all bathed in a golden light perfect for your photos. The Charm of the Illuminated Coast We will visit the most evocative spots of the "Coast of Myths": the Cave of Love, Capo Taormina, the world-famous Isola Bella, and the Blue Grotto. We will stop for approximately 30 minutes in the bays of Mazzarò or Spisone, where you can enjoy the last swim of the day in calm, crystal-clear waters. A Journey Through the Flavors of the First Greek Colony On board our catamaran, your aperitif is more than just a snack—it’s a cultural experience. We invite you to discover Naxos, the first Greek colony in Sicily (734 BC), through a tasting menu designed to stay fresh in the August heat while celebrating ancient traditions. The "Ancient Naxos" Platter: Heritage Cheeses: Cubes of aged Sicilian Pecorino and Ragusano PDO, selected for their rich flavor and freshness. The Historic Pantry: Toasted Avola almonds, Bronte pistachios, and Etna walnuts—symbols of prosperity since ancient times. Mythical Fruits: Sweet figs, pomegranate seeds (sacred to the gods), and chilled grapes, served frosty for immediate relief from the summer sun. Ancient Grains: Tumminia bread crusts topped with local extra virgin olive oil and a hint of citrus or thyme honey. Olives & Lupini Beans: The most authentic Mediterranean snack, served fresh in traditional terracotta bowls. Our Wine Selection: More than just bubbles. Choose between a crisp glass of chilled Etna White Wine DOC or discover the elegance of our Volcanic Red Wine. We serve our reds (Nerello Mascalese) slightly chilled, following the Sicilian summer tradition to enhance notes of wild berries and volcanic ash while remaining perfectly refreshing. The journey concludes with a final toast as we return to the Port of Giardini Naxos, leaving you with the memory of a sunset straight out of a movie.
