Sicily is the largest island with a coastline of 1500 km, washed by three seas — the Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian and Ionian. You can get to the island by ferry or plane. The nearest airports are in Palermo and Catania. During the highest season in Sicily, from July to August, the cost of renting a yacht is much higher than at other times. To book a yacht at a cheap price, you must make your reservation as early as possible.
There are many marinas along the island with moorings for 50 to 700 yachts.
Popular yacht rental locations:
- Marina Villa Igiea in Palermo is a comfortable marina in Sicily with moorings for 400 yachts up to 75 meters long.
- Portorosa Marina is a large marina opposite the Aeolian Islands. It is easy starting a travel since Portorosa Marina is between the international airports of Palermo and Catania. There are about 700 moorings for sailboats up to 40 meters long.
- Capo di Orlando is a modern marina where 553 boats from 8 to 40 meters long can moor. Here you can get a technical yacht service and restock. There is also a large walking area with stores, restaurants and bars.

Tips for a yacht charter in Sicily
To charter a yacht in Sicily, you need to specify a few details:
- Dates of yacht trips. Most charter companies provide boats for a term of 7 days, from Saturday to Saturday. If the trip is during the high season, it is better to book the yacht as far in advance as possible, 3-6 months before the start of the charter.
- Number of crew members. It allows figuring out the necessary number of cabins for people and yacht size.
- Rent a yacht with a captain or private bareboat charter having the required certification. For a bareboat charter, one of the requirements is to have a boating license recognized by the Italian Authorities: RYA, IYT, etc. Without license you can book the boat with a skipper.
- Choose a yacht in Sailica's catalog and send your request. A manager will contact you to confirm the reservation and clarify all the details.
