Scalea BoatsFor travelers who want to explore remote beaches by boat while spending less per person, a shared tour often offers the best balance between a sea experience and individual cost.
Why shared tours are usually more affordable
Instead of one family or group covering the full cost of the boat, seats are sold individually. This spreads operating costs and lowers the price per passenger.
What you trade for a lower price
The main difference is flexibility. On a private tour, the group has more autonomy within the contracted itinerary. On a shared tour, schedules and stops are set in advance so everyone has the same experience.

The key is to compare what is included, duration, stops, boat facilities and operator experience, not just the lowest advertised number.
North or south?
Scalea’s itineraries explore different beaches and landscapes. The north may include destinations such as Praia da Fome and Saco do Eustáquio; the south may take you to places such as Bonete and Indaiaúba, depending on the itinerary and conditions.
