La Goulette Boat Tour: Swim off Carthage & Lunch at Sea

Board a private or small-group boat directly from La Goulette for a sun-drenched cruise along the Carthaginian coast — swimming in crystal-clear Gulf of Tunis waters, with a generous seafood lunch served on board.

What to expect

Your boat slips out of the historic port, rounding the headland to anchor in the translucent waters below the Carthage shoreline. The crew sets out a spread of grilled fish, harissa, brik pastry, and chilled rosé as you swim or snorkel from the stern. The views back to the white dome of Sidi Bou Said and the Roman ruins on the bluffs are simply extraordinary — a perspective on this ancient landscape that no land tour can offer. Return to port in the early afternoon, sunned, fed, and deeply content.

Good to know

Confirm departure and return times against your ship's all-aboard. Bring a towel, sunscreen, and swimwear. Private charters offer the most flexibility and can be tailored to include a Sidi Bou Said stop. Book at least 48 hours in advance.
