A magical mixture of history and nature makes Sicily one of the most fascinating regions to rent a boat in Italy. Sicily has been a Greek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom; it's Europe, Africa and Asia all rolled into one, a land where more than three thousand years of history are reflected in a bewitchingly complex culture with its own art, flavours and inimitable colours. Its tiny archipelagos offer crystal waters, volcanic mountains and ancient fishing villages: the Aeolian, Egadi and Pelagia isles must be experienced by boat.

For a week-long yacht charter in Sicily the itinerary we recommend is around the Aeolian Islands: Stromboli, Panarea, Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi, Vulcano. Seven volcanic islands, each one different to the next, but all equally captivating.

Less famous but no less beautiful are the Egadi Islands: Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo. They’re situated off the west coast of Sicily, just 130 NM from Tunisia; in this stretch of sea, known as the Strait of Sicily, there’s bound to be plenty of wind.
On a two-week yacht charter, both of these archipelagos can be visited easily.
