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. Skippered options are available for guests who prefer a guided experience; non-skippered rentals allow licensed drivers to navigate independently.

Safety, cleanliness, and experienced skippers support reliable operations in the Castellammare del Golfo area. The operator focuses on coastal exploration, snorkeling, and access to sea-only sites like Grotta dei Colombi and Tonnara di Scopello. Booking options typically include half-day and full-day departures. Visitors seeking private boat tours, guided gozzo experiences, or self-drive rentals in northwestern Sicily will find clear trip options, vessel specifications, and skipper choices offered from the Castellammare del Golfo marina.
