Marina Yachting Sicily - Castellammare del Golfo is a boat tour and rental operator based in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicilia.
The company offers guided tours, private boat excursions, and a range of rental options including traditional gozzo trips, inflatable gommone Icon 28 Sport charters, and fiberglass MY1 boats. Tours include a 4-hour guided gozzo tour with three swimming stops at Scopello and the Riserva dello Zingaro, a 4-hour private tour to the Faraglioni di Scopello, and an 8-hour private tour combining Scopello and the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Rental choices cover gommone Icon 28 Sport with and without skipper for groups of 12–14, and MY1 fiberglass boats with and without skipper for up to six people.
