Sicily & Aeolian Islands by Catamaran | 1-8 May 2027
About this sailing adventure
Seven volcanic islands off the north coast of Sicily, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most dramatic sailing grounds in the Mediterranean. Smoking craters, black sand beaches, sea caves and whitewashed villages, all within a few hours of each other under sail. 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. A professional skipper runs the catamaran, so no sailing experience is needed. Days are for swimming, island walks and Italian food, evenings for the cockpit or a harbour trattoria. The order of the islands depends on the weather. Included are a place in a double cabin, the catamaran, 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. ⛵️ Catamaran trip with Katran Yachting School 📍 Marina di Portorosa, Sicily, Italy 📅 1-8 May 2027 Only 2 places are left on this departure.
