Stromboli, Panarea and Salina are important destinations. A start from Palermo with a city tour before and after the sailing trip is recommended. The relaxed and inexpensive journey by (new) train to Capo d'Orlando is also recommended. By taxi or shuttle you would pay up to €400 per trip. By train it is only €14 per person. There are even taxis that cooperate with the port and take sailors to and from the port for €5 per person.
Stromboli, Panarea und Salina sind wichtige Ziele. Ein Start von Palermo mit Stadtbesichtigung vor und nach dem Segeltörn sind empfehlenswert. Ebenso die entspannte und günstige Anreise mit dem (neuen) Zug nach Capo d‘Orlando ist zu empfehlen. Per Taxi oder Shuttle würde man pro Fahrt bis zu 400€ zahlen. Mit der Bahn sind es nur 14€ pro Person. Es gibt sogar Taxis die mit dem Hafen kooperieren und Segler für 5€/Person dann vom und zum Hafen bringen.

This is the fourth time we have sailed in the Aeolian Islands and it is always a great pleasure even if we would like to have a little more wind.
C'est la quatrième fois que nous naviguons dans les îles Éoliennes et c'est toujours un grand plaisir même si on aimerait avoir un peu plus de vent.

Hire a sailboat in Sicily, Italy with or without skipper with SamBoat

Sicily is an island belonging to Italy and is the largest island in the Mediterranean. Its nearest tip is only three kilometres from the Italian mainland, and it is 140 kilometres from Tunisia, north of Africa. Sicily is one of the few places that has several UNESCO heritage sites. It is an island full of history and well worth a visit. Hire a boat in Sicily and sail to Palermo, the capital of the island.

Hire a sailboat in Sicily and sail to the Aeolian Islands. These islands lie to the north of Sicily and are uninhabited. The main attraction of this place is the volcano that is there. You can go hiking on the active volcano or if you like water activities you can go diving in the underwater fumaroles. 

Sailboat hire in Sicily, Italy

If you hire a sailboat in Sicily, you can visit the main cities and islands. Like Strombol, an island with an active volcano that gives an incredible spectacle when it erupts. You can't miss this spectacle on board a sailing boat. You can also visit the city of Palermo, walk through its streets full of history and taste the food of the region. Another idea is to hire a catamaran in Sicily and enjoy the beaches of the island.

The best time to visit Sicily is summer, especially during July and August. The average temperature during this season is 26°C with gentle breezes. Summer is the ideal time to hire a sailboat and sail around the island and its cities.

Prices may increase during the high season, be aware that the high season months in Italy are from May to the end of September. If you want to hire a boat during these months, we recommend you search in advance.
