Snorkeling sets · €20 per set ↗Choosing your experience
What is the difference between a shared tour and a private charter?
On a shared tour you book places per person and travel with other guests. A private charter reserves the boat for your party, within its stated capacity, with a price per boat. Shared tours on this page are offered by recommended operators.
What do Small group and Large group mean?
These describe the advertised capacity of the shared tour, not a guaranteed number of passengers. Small group options have a maximum of 4 or 6 guests. The Large group coastal tour has a maximum of 10 guests. Your people is the number travelling in your own party.
Will we share the boat with other people?
Yes, if you choose a shared tour. Choose Private boat with skipper, Just my group or a private Signature experience if you want exclusive use. Self-drive rental is also for your own party.
Which experience is best when we have limited time?
The coastal shared tours last 50 minutes. Other options last 1 hour 30 minutes or 2 hours. Select an exact duration and allow additional time for reaching the boarding point and any transfers.
Are the durations exact, and do they include time ashore?
The filter shows confirmed durations: 50 minutes, 1 hour 30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours and 10 hours. A 10-hour Signature day includes activities ashore; it is not 10 continuous hours on the boat. Rental hours and the Aeolian charter return time must be confirmed separately.
Can you arrange something for more than 12 people?
Select 13 or more and send a tailored enquiry with your exact party size. A suitable arrangement must be confirmed by the team. Do not assume that one boat can accommodate the whole party, or that splitting across boats is automatically available.
Prices, inclusions & extras
Is the price per person or for the whole boat?
Every card specifies per guest or per boat. The base total for your party multiplies per-person rates by the number of guests; private boat rates are counted once. Extras are separate unless explicitly included.
Does my budget include every possible extra?
No. The budget filter applies to the published base rate. Food, drinks, equipment, transfers or other additions may be extra depending on the offer. Experiences with a price you build from your selections are excluded when a budget limit is selected. Ask for the complete total before booking.
Are the skipper and fuel included?
This depends on the individual offer. The Blu Max and Liver options shown here include skipper and fuel. Some other private coastal itineraries charge them separately. Check the full service page rather than applying one boat’s inclusions to another.
Are hotel transfers included?
Only where specified for your chosen option. For example, the Blu Max 1.5-hour option does not include private transfers, while its longer options do. Liver transfers are included for up to 8 guests. Confirm the covered location and the arrangements for everyone in your party.
Are drinks, champagne and food included?
Inclusions vary by service and season. Some offers include sparkling wine, fruit or water; others have different inclusions. Drinks and aperitivo at Atlantis Bay are extra on the shared aperitivo experience. Additional bottles, food platters and other extras are available by request, subject to confirmation.
Are snorkeling equipment, towels and photography included?
Sanitised snorkeling sets are available separately at €20 per set unless your confirmed offer states otherwise. Towels depend on the service. The 10-hour coastal and Atlantis Bay experiences include 25 minutes of photography; other photography arrangements are quoted separately.
Do children pay a reduced rate, and are there group discounts?
No child discount or group discount is applied automatically by this page. Send the children’s ages and total party size to the operator or team and ask for the applicable rate. Private charters are priced per boat, within the permitted capacity.
Booking, payments & changes
Does selecting a date confirm availability?
No. Your date is a preference. This page matches services to your choices; it does not check a live availability calendar. The team or recommended operator confirms availability before you book.
How do I book?
Choose an experience and select Check availability. WhatsApp opens with the experience, date, party size, duration and displayed base price ready for you to review and send. The team or operator then confirms the details and explains how to complete the booking.
What should I include in my enquiry?
Your date, exact number of guests, children’s ages if relevant, preferred duration, service, boarding point and accommodation if you need a transfer. Mention any accessibility needs, dietary requirements or special occasion before confirming.
Can I book for today, tomorrow or a different season?
You can request your preferred date, including at short notice. Availability, operating schedules and seasonal inclusions must be confirmed. A published service or price does not guarantee that a departure is operating on every date.
How do I pay? Is a deposit required?
The team or operator will confirm accepted payment methods, any deposit, balance deadline and invoicing details for your booking. This page does not take payments or establish a deposit amount. Ask for these details together with your full quote.
When is my booking confirmed?
Submitting a WhatsApp enquiry is not a booking confirmation. Ask the team or operator to confirm the agreed experience, date, departure, party size, total price, payment arrangements and applicable conditions.
Can I change my date, boat or number of guests?
Contact the team or operator as soon as your plans change. Changes depend on availability, capacity and the terms of your booking; they are not guaranteed and may affect the price. Do not arrive with extra guests without prior confirmation.
Boarding, transfers & timing
Where is the meeting point?
It depends on the service: Isola Bella Beach, Giardini Naxos or a point confirmed by the operator. Request the exact meeting location and boarding instructions for your selected experience. A general town name is not a complete meeting point.
What time should we arrive, and what if we are late?
Follow the arrival time in your booking confirmation. If delayed, contact the operator immediately. Do not assume a shared departure will wait or that a private outing will be extended; the consequences depend on your booking conditions.
Can you collect us from our hotel, villa or cruise port?
Included transfers cover only the locations and guest limits stated for your offer. Send the full pickup address for confirmation. Cruise-port pickup and locations outside the published areas require a specific enquiry and may carry an additional charge.
Can we bring luggage, a stroller or bulky equipment?
Space varies between boats. Tell the team what you need to bring, including the size and quantity of larger items, before booking. Do not assume storage or stroller access is available on every boat.
Can we join from another beach or finish somewhere different?
Alternative boarding points, landings and one-way arrangements need advance confirmation. They depend on the boat, itinerary and conditions, and may affect the price or timing.
Your time on board
What should we bring and wear?
Bring swimwear if you plan to swim, suitable sun protection and personal essentials. Ask whether towels and water are included in your offer. Choose footwear and clothing appropriate for boarding, and follow any instructions from the operator.
Is there a toilet, cabin, shade or freshwater shower?
Facilities are specific to each boat. Check the boat’s detailed page and confirm any essential requirement before booking. A facility shown on one yacht or model should not be assumed on another.
Will we stop for swimming or snorkeling?
Swimming and snorkeling stops depend on the chosen itinerary and sea conditions. Some short coastal tours focus on sightseeing. Check your service’s description; the skipper decides whether a planned stop is suitable on the day.
Do I have to swim? Can non-swimmers join?
Swimming is optional. Tell the team before booking if anyone is a non-swimmer or needs extra support, so they can confirm suitability and onboard arrangements for the selected service.
Can we visit caves, land on Isola Bella or see dolphins?
Cave access and swimming stops depend on conditions and the skipper’s assessment. Seeing a landmark from the sea does not automatically include landing there. Dolphins are wild animals and sightings are never guaranteed.
Can we bring our own food, drinks or music?
Ask about the selected boat’s policy before bringing outside food, drinks, speakers or decorations. Dietary requests and onboard extras should be agreed in advance. Do not assume every operator follows the same rules.
Can we bring a pet or smoke on board?
Pet access and smoking rules must be checked with the selected operator before booking. Give details of your pet and any relevant requirements; approval should not be assumed.
What if I leave something on the boat?
Contact the operator promptly with your booking date, departure time, boat or service name and a description of the item. The operator can check and explain any possible collection or return arrangements.
Children, accessibility & comfort
Can babies and children come?
Tell the team the ages of all children before booking. Suitability, minimum-age rules, life jacket sizes and boarding arrangements depend on the boat and operator. Children must be included in your enquiry and confirmed passenger count.
Are child life jackets and safety equipment available?
Ask the operator to confirm the appropriate equipment and sizes for everyone in your party, especially infants and young children. Give children’s ages and any size information requested before the trip.
Is boarding suitable for reduced mobility or a wheelchair?
Access depends on the exact boat and boarding point. Describe your requirements before booking, including any wheelchair, steps you cannot manage or assistance you need. Do not assume step-free access or an accessible toilet is available.
What if I am pregnant, prone to seasickness or have a health concern?
Discuss suitability with the operator before booking. For personal medical advice, consult your healthcare professional. The team can explain the boat and itinerary, but cannot confirm whether a trip is medically suitable for you.
Can you accommodate allergies or dietary requirements?
Tell the team before booking and before choosing any food extras or restaurant menu. Specific ingredients, alternatives and allergy arrangements must be confirmed by the food provider; do not assume an allergen-free environment.
Which languages does the skipper or guide speak?
Ask which languages are available for your selected service and date. English-language information on this website does not guarantee a guide in every requested language.
Weather, cancellation & refunds
What happens if the sea conditions are unsafe?
For Club bookings, if the outing must be cancelled because sea conditions are dangerous, the team first tries to reschedule. If rescheduling is not possible, the published Club policy provides a full refund. For recommended operators’ tours, check that operator’s terms.
What if it rains or the itinerary changes?
Contact the operator for the plan for your departure. Rain alone does not establish an automatic cancellation or refund. Routes, cave access and stops may change according to weather, sea conditions and the skipper’s assessment.
Is free cancellation included?
No. Confirmed Club bookings do not include free cancellation. Read the cancellation conditions before confirming. Shared tours from recommended operators follow the terms agreed with the relevant operator.
What happens if I miss the departure or cannot travel?
Contact the operator as soon as possible. Do not assume a refund, free date change or extension is available. The applicable conditions are those confirmed for your booking.
How are refunds processed, and what does insurance cover?
Ask the team or operator to confirm the refund method, timing and any applicable insurance terms for your booking. General references to insurance do not mean that every personal expense, missed connection or change of plans is covered.
Renting without a skipper
Does without skipper mean no boating licence is needed?
No. Without skipper describes who drives the boat. The selected boat’s licence, experience and other driving requirements must be confirmed before you book.
What documents or security deposit do I need?
Ask the rental provider to confirm the documents, driver requirements, deposit amount, accepted payment method and return conditions for your chosen boat. This page does not set those requirements.
How many hours are included in half-day and full-day rental?
The Club’s published 21-foot rental offer lists half-day and full-day prices without exact hourly windows. Request the confirmed collection and return times for your date. These offers appear under Schedule to confirm instead of being assigned an unverified number of hours.
Is fuel included in the self-drive price?
The 21-foot Club offer shown here includes fuel, towels, one bottle of Moët & Chandon and return transfers from accommodation in Taormina or Giardini Naxos. This applies to that specific offer; it should not be assumed for other rental boats or providers.
Where can we navigate, and what happens if we return late?
Confirm the permitted navigation area, restrictions, safety briefing, emergency contact and return deadline with the provider before departure. Late return, damage and other charges are governed by the rental agreement, not by this finder.
Signature days & special occasions
What is included in Boat, beach & Isola Bella?
This is a 10-hour overall experience for up to 8 guests, combining your selected private boat, accommodation transfers, lunch with your chosen menu, reserved sunbeds, towels and 25 minutes of photography. The total depends on your selections. Lunch drinks are extra.
How is the Atlantis Bay Private Day priced?
The total is built from your boat and selected arrangements. Lunch and sunbeds are added according to your choices; drinks are separate. The sunset boat return adds €150 per party. Review the full experience page and confirm the complete quote.
Is the Atlantis Bay shared aperitivo the same as the private day?
No. The shared aperitivo is a 1.5-hour small-group experience with a 30-minute stop at Atlantis Bay; hotel drinks and aperitivo are extra and suitable attire is required. The private day is a separate 10-hour experience with its own selections and pricing.
Can we arrange a birthday, proposal or other celebration?
Tell us the occasion, party size and preferences in advance. Food, champagne, flowers, decorations or other arrangements must be checked individually for availability and cost. They are not included simply because you choose a special-occasion preference.
Can we book a photographer or receive the original photos?
The coastal and Atlantis Bay 10-hour experiences include a 25-minute session. For additional photography, ask for a quote and confirm the session length, number of images, editing, delivery timing and usage arrangements before booking.
Does a sunset cruise include dinner at Atlantis Bay?
Only if you book the specific Sunset & Romantic Dinner experience and confirm its arrangements. The private Luxury Sunset charter is a different service. In the romantic dinner experience, dinner and wine at NUI are charged separately and the return after dinner is not included.
Can I buy an experience as a gift or request a custom itinerary?
Send a request with your idea, dates or date flexibility, party size and budget. Gift arrangements and custom itineraries require confirmation; this page does not issue vouchers or guarantee a particular route.
