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.
