LAGOON 46 - SICILY - DYC 187

Sailing in Sicily

When sailing in Sicily you can explore sleepy seaside towns, stunning landscapes, fiery volcanoes and intelligent cities, and the Aeolian and Egadi islands. This sheer diversity makes Italy’s largest island an ideal destination for your sailing vacation.

Your Sicily yacht charter will begin from our marina base in the quaint town of Portorosa, just a 15-mile sail away from the history and rugged natural beauty of the seven Aeolian Islands, which include Lipari, Vulcano, Salina and Stromboli with its active volcano.

Hire a boat in Sicily and spend hot summer days swimming in warm Mediterranean waters, tasting delicious food and discovering the Roman ruins. On the northwest coast, you can sail the Egadi Islands of Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo.

Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, on the eastern side of the island, is hard to ignore, while archaeology buffs will love the early 14th-century town of Agrigento. And no yacht charter in Sicily would be complete without spending time in Palermo’s incredible markets. 

If you’re sailing Sicily, you’ll need a sailing license recognized by the local port authorities. Or you can hire a skipper. Please write to us for more information.
