The bow lifts and the salt breathes in—San Vito lo Capo falls away as low limestone cliffs and pebble coves take over the horizon. On a private skippered boat, the sea does the guiding: narrow channels of blue that open into sheltered bays, pebbled beaches that take on a glassy, aquamarine sheen, and rocky outcrops where currents run clear enough to read the seabed.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Wear non-slip water shoes
Pebble coves and rocky entries are common; shoes protect feet and make boarding from shallow beaches safer.
Arrive early to the port
Check-in and a short safety briefing start before departure; arriving 15–20 minutes early keeps the day on schedule.
