Sicily & Aeolian Islands - Sailing Practice and Island Hopping | 12-19 Jun 2027
About this sailing adventure
A week that combines sailing practice with island hopping among the volcanic Aeolian Islands off Sicily, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You take part in the passages, the sail handling and the mooring under a professional skipper, and still have the afternoons for swimming and walks ashore. We start and finish at Marina di Portorosa on the north coast of Sicily, and Catania airport (CTA) is the usual arrival point. From there the route runs to Vulcano with its crater walk, black sand and warm sulphur springs, wild Filicudi with its sea caves and the 85 metre La Canna rock, green Salina with its vineyards, Malvasia wine and capers, and Stromboli, the lighthouse of the Mediterranean, seen from the sea together with the Strombolicchio rock. The last island is Lipari with its old town, Spanish citadel and cathedral before we sail back to Portorosa. The type and model of the boat are confirmed before booking. Tell us about your experience and we will tell you how much time at the helm to expect. Included are a place in a double cabin, the boat, the skipper, bed linen and towels, final cleaning and a dinghy with outboard. Flights, the boat kitty for food, fuel and moorings (about 200-250 EUR per person) and a refundable security deposit are extra. ⛵️ Sailing practice and holiday with Katran Yachting School 📍 Marina di Portorosa, Sicily, Italy 📅 12-19 June 2027 Learn to sail between live volcanoes.
