01 Sicily yacht charter

Sicily, planned properly.

Sicily is one of the Mediterranean’s most versatile yacht charter grounds. From a single base you can reach the Aeolian Islands, the Egadi Islands, Taormina and Siracusa on the east coast, or Palermo and the Zingaro reserve to the west. Distances are short, conditions are reliable, and marinas are modern enough to handle everything from a family catamaran to an 80-metre superyacht. Two international airports — Catania and Palermo — make arrivals easy.

Boarding usually begins in Capo d’Orlando, Riposto, Palermo or Trapani, each giving direct access to a different cruising area. The season runs May through October, with steady sailing breezes and warm water throughout. This is a crewed-yacht destination: your captain times passages and secures berths, your chef provisions with Sicilian produce and wines, and the crew manages tenders, buoys and every shore arrangement.
