SICILY & AMALFI

Famed for its stunning coastline, varied cultural history and divine cuisine, Sicily is a foolproof charter destination. The largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily was formed by years of volcanic activity and is home to landscapes of the wildest and most dramatic natural beauty. The coastline is lined with beaches of black sand and nature reserves as well as Roman-Greco ruins, castles and churches. Offering a rich past, as the region was ruled by the Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans and Spaniards throughout history, it’s said that the heavy Greek influences can still be seen today. With a distinctive character, a charter journey through Sicily is an experience of a lifetime.

Embark on your Sicilian yacht charter in the beautifully sun-filled city of Palermo. The capital city of Sicily, take your time to explore some of the city’s historical sites, like the Piazza Bellini, the Arab-Norman Palatine Chapel in the Royal Palace and the cathedral before setting off. Visit Monreale and take in the panoramic views of the Conca dÓro before heading to the port and cruising to Filicudi. One of the smallest islands of the archipelago, it remains largely untouched.
