About this tour
A three-hour boat journey departing Torre Faro that carries you across the Strait of Messina to Scilla's rocky coastline. You'll motor past Capo Pacì and navigate into Chianalea, a working fishing hamlet where pastel-painted houses cling to stone cliffs. A stop at Favazzina allows time in the water before returning. The vessel includes shaded areas, lounging space and an experienced skipper to handle navigation while you absorb the view.

- Motor past dramatic Capo Pacì headland
- Explore Chianalea fishing village from the water
- Swim in Favazzina's calm bay
- Snack and drink included onboard
- Shaded tent and large sun deck
- Snorkel gear and flotation tubes available
What to expect
You'll board at Torre Faro and spend the opening stretch cruising across open water toward the Scilla peninsula. As you approach, Chianalea comes into view—a tight cluster of weathered houses and fishing boats stacked against the rocks. The skipper will steer slowly through the village so you can photograph the scene and watch local life. At Favazzina, the boat anchors in shallow, transparent water ideal for swimming and floating. A light savoury snack and one drink per person are served during the tour. Allow time to dry off before the return journey.
