Yacht Charter Itineraries
The Mediterranean’s largest island sits at its crossroads. Sicily has been planted with Spanish oranges. Painted with Byzantine frescoes. Fattened with Arabian ice cream. The result? A 1,500km coastline stuffed with sights, shipwrecks and golden sand. And a cuisine that sings with chillies, citrus and swordfish steaks.
Here’s a case in point. Sicily has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. That’s as many as Egypt. In Taormina’s Teatro Antico you’ll watch a live opera from Ancient Greek seats. On Mount Etna you’ll meet volcanologists in a 4x4 jeep. At Palermo’s Palazzo dei Normanni you’ll snap photos in wide-eyed wonder. Why? Because this palace literally glitters with gold.
Check Sicily on a map. This sun-soaked triangle is closer to Africa than Rome. Sicily’s coastline receives two rainy days all summer. The upshot? Countless beaches. Scented by rosemary. Lapped by hot tub seas. Don't believe us? Kayak the coastal reserve of Zingaro. It's an aquatic Eden guarded by peregrine falcons and Risso's dolphins.
Here’s more explosive news. Sicily shatters like a firework into volcanic island gems. The Aeolian Islands are Mother Nature’s gift to charter guests. Each island rises to a top-of-the-world peak before crashing into black sand beaches. Snorkelers can swim in fumaroles - warm jets of seismic Champagne fizz.
Better still, each Aeolian Island has its own unique soul. Stromboli offers finer seafood than Tokyo. Panarea is like Mustique or Mykonos - in the 1980s. The tiny island of Basiluzzo hosts lizards and a lemon orchard. And absolutely no people at all. Sail, RIB or kitesurf among them all.
There’s more. Just west of Sicily the three Egadi Islands look like emerald butterflies resting on turquoise seas. The islands are so isolated that they once served as a maximum security prison. Imagine Alcatraz. But set in sunshine and scuba-friendly seas.
Sicily in seven words? Intrepid. Inspired. Sandy. Sunny. Fiery. Friendly. And absolutely delicious.
Mount Etna. Europe’s largest active volcano is literally a blast. Take a dune buggy tour to its Planet Mars summit. Or chopper in for 3,000m altitude hikes. This UNESCO-inscribed volcano nourishes knockout vineyards. Like Cantina Graci. The winery offers mile-high tastings of D.O.P. Monte Etna reds that dance with volcanic fury.
