About Oceanis 31 Grace

A day at sea, just for you
Welcome aboard Grace for a private and exclusive experience discovering the Palermo coast.
This is not just about renting a boat: I will personally be your skipper and accompany you to explore the places I know and love, adapting the day to your desires and the sea conditions.
We will sail whenever the wind allows, alternating sailing with stops for swimming, snorkeling, SUP, and relaxation.
The itinerary
Departing from San Nicola l'Arena, we will sail along one of the most fascinating stretches of the Sicilian coast, discovering Capo Zafferano, the Formiche Reserve, and the crystal-clear waters of Capo Mongerbino.
The itinerary is not fixed: we will choose together the best stops based on the wind, the sea, and what you prefer to do during the day.
September and October are among the most beautiful months to sail in Sicily: the sea is still warm, the bays are quieter, and the coast regains all its authenticity after the high season.
Departure and return
We depart and return from the port of San Nicola l'Arena, a small gem of the Palermo coastline away from the city chaos, dominated by the historic Norman Tower.
For those staying in Palermo, it is also possible to arrange a private transfer to/from the city.
Included on board
During the navigation, I will offer you a snack accompanied, according to your preferences, by prosecco, white or red wine, soft drinks, and water.
On board, snorkeling and SUP equipment is also available.
Trolling fishing - upon request
For those who want to try something different, during the navigation, we can also practice trolling fishing with the equipment available on board, compatibly with the itinerary, sea conditions, and season.
It is a simple and fun experience even for those who have never fished and can be easily integrated into the normal day of navigation.
Lunch on board
Upon request, I can personally prepare a complete lunch on board, based on fresh fish and local products, accompanied by wine and beverages.
A different way to experience Sicilian cuisine: on a boat, in front of the sea.
Experiences with overnight stays and mini-cruises
Grace is also available for private experiences of 2 or 3 days with overnight stays on board, built together with the guests.
Possible itineraries include:
Cefalù Coastal Escape - 3 days / 2 nights
Navigation along the northern coast, hidden bays, and overnight stays between panoramic anchorages and Cefalù.
Western Aeolian Adventure - 3 days / 2 nights
A small adventure towards Alicudi and Filicudi, weather conditions permitting.
Palermo & Mondello Lifestyle Cruise - 3 days / 2 nights
Gulf of Palermo, Monte Pellegrino, Mondello, and the western coast.
Multi-day experiences are quoted separately based on the itinerary, miles sailed, moorings, and guest requests.
Your skipper
I am Fabrizio Ferrera, owner of Grace and skipper qualified for pleasure boating under sail and motor without limits from the coast, with training in Safety, Emergency, and Survival at Sea.
I speak Italian, English, French, and Spanish fluently.
My goal is simple: to make you feel on board not as clients, but as my guests, and to let you discover Sicily from the perspective I prefer: from the sea.
Una giornata in mare, solo per voi
Benvenuti a bordo di Grace per un'esperienza privata ed esclusiva alla scoperta della costa palermitana.
Non si tratta semplicemente di noleggiare una barca: sarò personalmente il vostro skipper e vi accompagnerò alla scoperta dei luoghi che conosco e amo, adattando la giornata ai vostri desideri e alle condizioni del mare.
Navigheremo a vela ogni volta che il vento lo permetterà, alternando la navigazione a soste per il bagno, snorkeling, SUP e relax.
L'itinerario
Partendo da San Nicola l'Arena, navigheremo lungo uno dei tratti più affascinanti della costa siciliana, alla scoperta di Capo Zafferano, della Riserva delle Formiche e delle acque cristalline di Capo Mongerbino.
L'itinerario non è rigido: scegliamo insieme le soste migliori in funzione del vento, del mare e di ciò che preferite fare durante la giornata.
Settembre e ottobre sono tra i mesi più belli per navigare in Sicilia: il mare è ancora caldo, le baie sono più tranquille e la costa ritrova tutta la sua autenticità dopo l'alta stagione.
Partenza e rientro
Salpiamo e rientriamo dal porto di San Nicola l'Arena, una piccola gemma del litorale palermitano lontana dal caos cittadino, dominata dalla storica Torre Normanna.
Per chi soggiorna a Palermo è possibile concordare anche un transfer privato da/per la città.
Incluso a bordo
Durante la navigazione vi offrirò uno snack accompagnato, secondo le vostre preferenze, da prosecco, vino bianco o rosso, soft drink e acqua.
A bordo sono inoltre disponibili attrezzatura per snorkeling e SUP.
Pesca a traina – su richiesta
Per chi vuole provare qualcosa di diverso, durante la navigazione possiamo praticare anche pesca a traina con l'attrezzatura disponibile a bordo, compatibilmente con itinerario, condizioni del mare e stagione.
È un'esperienza semplice e divertente anche per chi non ha mai pescato e può essere facilmente integrata nella normale giornata di navigazione.
Pranzo a bordo
Su richiesta posso preparare personalmente un pranzo completo a bordo, a base di pesce fresco e prodotti locali, accompagnato da vino e bevande.
Un modo diverso di vivere la cucina siciliana: in barca, davanti al mare.
Esperienze con pernottamento e mini-crociere
Grace è disponibile anche per esperienze private di 2 o 3 giorni con pernottamento a bordo, costruite insieme agli ospiti.
Tra gli itinerari possibili:
Cefalù Coastal Escape – 3 giorni / 2 notti
Navigazione lungo la costa settentrionale, baie nascoste e pernottamento tra ancoraggi panoramici e Cefalù.
Western Aeolian Adventure – 3 giorni / 2 notti
Una piccola avventura verso Alicudi e Filicudi, condizioni meteo permettendo.
Palermo & Mondello Lifestyle Cruise – 3 giorni / 2 notti
Golfo di Palermo, Monte Pellegrino, Mondello e la costa occidentale.
Le esperienze multi-day vengono quotate separatamente in funzione dell'itinerario, delle miglia percorse, degli ormeggi e delle richieste degli ospiti.
Il vostro skipper
Sono Fabrizio Ferrera, armatore di Grace e skipper abilitato alla navigazione da diporto a vela e motore senza limiti dalla costa, con formazione in Sicurezza, Emergenza e Sopravvivenza in Mare.
Parlo fluentemente italiano, inglese, francese e spagnolo.
Il mio obiettivo è semplice: farvi sentire a bordo non come clienti, ma come miei ospiti, e farvi scoprire la Sicilia dal punto di vista che preferisco: dal mare.

A magnificent day sailing!
We were welcomed with great warmth and friendliness, which made the experience enjoyable from the very first moment.
We also received excellent explanations about the history of Sicily, as well as very good recommendations for places to go out in Palermo in the evening—thoughtful touches that are much appreciated as a tourist.
The snack on board was lovely, with good wine and local artisanal charcuterie, a real treat to discover.
A sociable, attentive, and passionate person who truly goes the extra mile to meet our needs for the boat trip. An experience we highly recommend.
Une magnifique journée en voilier
Nous avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de chaleur et de convivialité, ce qui a rendu l’expérience agréable dès les premiers instants.
Nous avons également eu droit à d’excellentes explications sur l’histoire de la Sicile, ainsi qu’à de très bonnes recommandations sur les endroits où sortir le soir à Palerme — des attentions très appréciées lorsqu’on est touriste.
La collation à bord était très sympa avec un bon vin et de la charcuterie artisanale locale, un vrai plaisir à découvrir.
Une personne sociable, attentionnée et passionnée, qui fait réellement en sorte de répondre à nos envies pour la sortie en bateau. Une expérience que nous recommandons avec grand plaisir

For an authentic day along the Sicilian coast, I highly recommend Fabrizio his gorgeous sailboat. Going a bit outside Palermo for the experience was well worth it + the prepared lunch on board was perfect. Easily the highlight of our trip - thanks Fabrizio!

3 friends and I had an amazing day with Fabrizio on his sailboat. Communication and organization was quick and easy, historical information provided was informative, and we were blessed with wind allowing us to sail! He generously provided us with arranged transportation back to our accommodation as well as a dinner recommendation and reservation that was the best we have had in Sicily. This was our favorite day in Palermo!

Fabrizio is a great captain and a great host! We sailed around the bay, caught some wind, and saw the sites along the way. Afterward, he brought me to a locals’ food spot, and we sampled most of everything. Highly recommended!

Fabrizio was a phenomenal custodian of Italian history and culture. He and Sarah were the perfect hosts. We learned and laughed from start to finish. If you are looking for an intimate and personal experience, I highly recommend them. My wife and I had a perfect day and could not ask for anything more.
