Palermo Boat Tour

4 tours · €135–€200 per person · ★ 4.8

Every Palermo boat tour here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 4 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €135 per person for a shared trip with a Sicilian aperitif to €200 for an outing with snorkelling gear and alcoholic drinks. A Mondello boat tour bundles brunch and snorkelling equipment, so you can eat on board and use the supplied gear.

A quick way to choose: on the shared boat trip from Palermo, wine and prosecco cost extra and you must carry identification throughout the journey. For the private coast trip with brunch, the listing asks you to request exclusivity immediately after booking, so make that arrangement explicit if you want the boat to yourselves. The best reviewed Palermo boat tours come first below.
