Description

An unmissable way to spend a day in a different and not everyday way: a sailing boat excursion to admire the beauty of a stretch of coast defined as among the most beautiful in the world. Starting from Tropea, you will visit the white cave, and going forward you will pass by Formicoli, the Bay of Riaci, finally arriving at Capo Vaticano, known for its small beaches, such as Cala di Fuoco, with a clear and crystalline sea. It will be possible to swim or snorkel with the equipment on board and dive into the waters with magnificent seabeds among schools of colorful fish.

Itinerary

20 min

Starting from the port of Tropea, we will sail along the coast. We will visit the white cave or skeleton cave. It is so called because, once entered, the submerged part of the body becomes white. It is a play of reflections between the sunlight and the sand on the bottom, which is reflected on the skin making it appear as white as a skeleton.

20 min

You can't miss a stop in Formicoli in the Baia di Riaci. This stretch of coast located between Tropea and Capo Vaticano offers wonderful views and crystal clear sea, ideal for a relaxing dip.

20 min

Once in Capo Vaticano, we will stop at the famous "Praia i Foco" with its clear sea and its coves accessible only by boat.

Highly recommended experience!!

Absolutely recommended sailing experience! Mattia, knowledgeable and very friendly, guided us in discovering the Coast of the Gods from a different and truly captivating perspective. The tour was organized with a small group, allowing us to experience it in an authentic, relaxed, and engaging way. An experience we would definitely repeat!

Excellent organization.

With them, we booked both the boat excursion along the Coast of the Gods and the reservation for the tour of the Aeolian Islands. Both excursions were very beautiful and punctual. I highly recommend it!

Sailing tour of the Coast of the Gods.

A sailing trip along the Coast of the Gods with a final aperitif on board, simply unforgettable. The skipper Mattia is truly kind, knowledgeable about the history of the area, and very accommodating. I was even granted the privilege of unfurling the sails and trimming the mainsail. Highly recommended experience!!

Operator response

Ciao Jacopo, Grazie mille per il tuo feedback. Siamo felici di sapere che hai avuto una bella esperienza con il nostro skipper Mattia e che consiglieresti il nostro tour ad altri. Speriamo di rivederti presto. Grazie ancora! Cordiali saluti Anna CST Tropea Team

Nice experience

It was a nice experience overall, very kind staff. The only flaw: instead of the fresh fruit indicated in the description we were served chips and savory.

Dream experience

"A dream experience, absolutely worth living!" A simply perfect day! The skipper was professional, prepared and passionate, conveying confidence and love for the sea from the first moment. The experience was unforgettable: wonderful views, relaxed atmosphere and moments that will remain in the heart. I highly recommend doing it at least once in a lifetime — it's really worth it!

Don't miss out, great experience

Together with friends we took a boat tour along the coast to Capo Vaticano. It was a wonderful excursion with Guiseppe as skipper. Anchorage was done in a bay and there was the possibility to swim. Everything was fine, gladly again

boring

horrible experience with dishonest and rude employees. booked the sailing boat and was told to pay in cash at the boat. i refused and they charged me full price while before they were offering me a discount.. typical way of avoiding paying tax.. anyway the tour was awful, boring captain who never went near the coast so experince was rubbish as we swam in the open sea and not near the beaches.. the aperitive was a piece of fruit.. a pedalo from the beach would have a better experience than this.. they have a nice website but thats where the niceness stops.. avoid .. there are so many agencies who are better..

Dive into the beauty, history and wonder of the Coast of the Gods!

An excursion that will remain etched in the memory: from Tropea, the ancient city overlooking the cliff – already known to the Greeks and loved by the Normans – to the suggestive Capo Vaticano, a sacred promontory since Roman times, which considered it a place of oracle and contemplation. The sea, of an unreal transparency, welcomed us in three dream stops: coves set between sheer cliffs and natural caves, ideal for unforgettable dives and moments of pure enchantment. Alessandro, the skipper, was an exceptional guide: attentive, prepared and able to tell anecdotes and curiosities of the territory, making every moment even more engaging. On board, the sweetness of fresh fruit and the final toast with prosecco added a touch of elegance and conviviality to the experience. An excursion that combines nature, history and Mediterranean passion: highly recommended for those who want to experience the most authentic and fascinating Calabria.
