Cruise the Agrigento coast from San Leone to the luminous Scala dei Turchi on a 3.5‑hour boat tour with multiple swim stops. Expect close-up views of marl cliffs, a Saracen tower, a lighthouse headland and panoramas of the Valle dei Templi from the sea.
The boat slips from San Leone and the coastline unfolds: white marl cliffs catch the sun, waves whisper against a low-profile Saracen tower, and the skipper eases the dinghy into a quiet cove so the group can dive into water that suddenly feels colder and clearer. For 3.5 hours you travel a strip of Agrigento’s southern shore that’s readable at sea — chalky steps, a lighthouse crest, and the distant silhouette of classical temples framed against the horizon.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The boat slips from San Leone and the coastline unfolds: white marl cliffs catch the sun, waves whisper against a low-profile Saracen tower, and the skipper eases the dinghy into a quiet cove so the group can dive into water that suddenly feels colder and clearer. For 3.5 hours you travel a strip of Agrigento’s southern shore that’s readable at sea — chalky steps, a lighthouse crest, and the distant silhouette of classical temples framed against the horizon.
Scala dei Turchi’s bleached ridges are geological pages of marl and limestone carved by wind and wave; the same coast that fed Greek Agrigentum’s prosperity still shows scars from centuries of weather and human use. From the sea you gain a rare perspective on the Valle dei Templi and small coastal features like the bay of the sirens and the scattered Saracen towers that once watched for corsairs.
Practically, the tour is a short, accessible boat charter: expect multiple 20–30 minute swim stops anchored within 100–200 meters of cliff features, bottled water and life jackets aboard, and a max group of about two dozen guests. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, bring a towel and a waterproof phone case, and time your outing mid-morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest sun and busiest shore access.
This excursion balances relaxed paddling with active swimming and coastal sightseeing; it’s ideal for travelers who want a focused sea-level view of one of Sicily’s most photographed shores without committing to a full-day cruise.
Departure and return are from the small port of San Leone near Agrigento; staff will confirm the exact meeting point when you book.
The itinerary includes several short stops — typically three 20–30 minute swims — anchored close to cliffs, a lighthouse headland and a tower cove.
The tour is labeled physically easy and allows infants (who must sit on laps); non‑swimmers can remain aboard but should notify staff since the boat will anchor for swimming.
The operator cancels if weather is unsafe; full refund is usually provided if canceled at least 24 hours in advance or by the operator for weather.
Forte Mare di Forte Salvatore operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
