Couldn't recommend more! Valerio was so incredibly helpful from the beginning. Went above and beyond to help organise an affordable transfer for our group prior to the trip, as well was so responsive which was great. The actual boat day was so much fun, great staff, accommodating, food was just what we wanted - even had some cakes provided for birthdays. Not to mention it was super clean and the crew went beyond to make sure it stayed that way throughout. If you have one activity to do on your trip it's organise a boat day with valerio!

The Eolian islands are nice to sail around. Harbours can be expensive like in Salina or buoys in Panarea. Avoid these. There are some nice places to visit, cool views and interesting volcanic activities to witness. The wind is special here and not always very accurate with the forecast do be aware of changes in force and direction.

Great sailing area. Harbour fees are very expensive, however. There are a few anchorages. On Stromboli, mooring buoys are put out towards the end of May (we got a private one by chance because we were there earlier).
Tolles Segelrevier. Hafengebühren sind allerdings sehr teuer. Es gibt aber einige Ankerbuchten. Auf Stromboli werden gegen Ende Mai Festmacherbojen ausgebracht (wir hatten durch Zufall eine private ergattert, da wir früher dort waren).

Gorgeous Tyrrenian sea was like a mill pond on that week as there was no wind. The Aeolian people are nice, friendly and helpful. It would have been more fun with a bit of wind. Unfortunately in the Med there is never the right wind: either too little or too much. An additional local snag is the very fast hydrofoils that frequently travel between Sicily and the Aeolian Islands; you have to be very careful not to get in their way

Catamaran hire in Sicily

Hire a catamaran in Sicily, Italy with or without skipper with SamBoat

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and lies in the south of Italy, just off the tip of the Italian "boot". It is rich in history, with Greek temples in the Doric style and many chapels with Hermetic mosaics. The archaeological site of Valle Dei Templi is one of the oldest, has well-preserved temples that were once part of one of the most important Greek cities. Hire a boat in Sicily and sail to Etna, where you will find one of the highest volcanoes in Europe.

Sicily has clear waters with slight bluish colour on its beaches, you can enjoy them aboard a catamaran. Visit the beach of Capo Granitola in Trapani where you will find an active lighthouse and fine golden sand. If you like quiet places, you can sail to Scala Dei Turchi, where you will find uncrowded beaches ideal for relaxing. You can also charter a sailboat in Sicily and create an itinerary to visit the other islands of Italy.

Catamaran hire in Sicily, Italy

If you charter a catamaran in Sicily you can sail to the islands of Cefalu, Ustica and Egadi. The colour of the sea in these islands is deep blue. This makes diving a pleasant activity in this area. For relaxing, you can visit San Vito on the Tyrrhenian coast, where you will find numerous sandy and rocky beaches. They are ideal for stopping by and swimming. 

The best time to visit Sicily is March, April, September and November. The weather during these months is warm and pleasant, allowing you to swim and enjoy water activities. There are also fewer tourists during these months, it is easier to visit the tourist sites.

How much does it cost to hire a catamaran in Sicily, Italy?

If you want to hire a catamaran in Sicily, the average price will be around 250 euros per day during the low season. Prices may increase during the high season, be aware that the high season months in Sicily are from June to the end of August. If you want to hire a boat during these months, we recommend you to look two months in advance and start the hire process as soon as possible.

Do you need a license to hire a catamaran in Sicily, Italy?

  

If you want to hire a catamaran, you will require an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) and a nautical curriculum showing you previous sailing experiences.

If you don’t have a licence or sailing experience, you can hire a boat with a skipper. Having a skipper is great because they know the region well. Ask them for suggestions on local restaurants or places to go.
