Sailing boat, catamaran or motorboat in Sicily
Choose the type of boat for the Aeolian and Egadi Islands, Palermo and the smaller islands: we match you with local operators, with or without a skipper.
We work with selected owners and skippers across Sicily. Tell us what kind of holiday you have in mind and we will match you with the right boat, with a free, no-obligation quote.
With or without a skipper
Bareboat charter requires a valid boating licence and some experience: you decide the route and the timing. With a skipper you need no licence at all: someone on board knows the harbours, sheltered anchorages and local winds, and you simply enjoy the sea. For a first sailing holiday, or when travelling with children, a skipper is almost always the more relaxed choice.
Which boat for which destination
For a week in the Aeolian or Egadi Islands a catamaran gives space and stability at anchor, while a sailboat offers the most authentic island-to-island sailing. A motorboat suits day trips from Palermo, Trapani or Marsala, when you want to see several coves in a few hours. For distant islands such as Pantelleria or Lampedusa, plan the season and weather with the organiser.
Departure ports in Sicily
The usual departure points are Portorosa, Milazzo and Capo d'Orlando Marina for the Aeolian Islands, Trapani and Marsala for the Egadi Islands and the Stagnone lagoon, and Palermo for the north coast and Ustica. The right port depends on your itinerary, trip length and type of boat.
