    Yacht charter and boat hire in Sicily: Aeolian Islands, Egadi and sailing from Palermo

    BookingABoat helps you plan a yacht charter or boat hire in Sicily tailored to your holiday. Choose a sailing boat, a catamaran or a motorboat, with a skipper or bareboat if you hold a sailing licence. We suggest the option that best fits your group, your dates and the kind of trip you have in mind.

    The Aeolian Islands are the most popular sailing area: Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea and Stromboli offer sheltered bays, clear water and lively harbours. The Egadi Islands, with Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo, are ideal for turquoise coves and a protected marine area. Sailing from Palermo you can reach Ustica, the north coast and, with a few extra days, the Aeolian archipelago. The handiest bases for the Aeolian Islands are Capo d'Orlando Marina, Portorosa and Milazzo.

    The service covers all of Sicily: besides Palermo, Trapani, Marsala and Portorosa you can also request offers for the east coast, from Catania and Syracuse to Taormina. We forward your request to charter companies operating in the area you choose.

    A boat charter in Sicily can last a weekend, a week or longer. The best season runs from May to October: June and September combine warm sea, pleasant wind and fewer crowds than August.

    Tell us your dates, group size and preferred destination: you get a free, no-obligation quote within 48 hours and advice on the right itinerary for your Sicily boat hire.
