Overview
Sicily is the Mediterranean's largest island and one of its most culturally rich, a crossroads of Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman civilisation with a culinary tradition that rivals any region in Italy. For superyacht charters, Sicily offers dramatic volcanic scenery, ancient archaeological sites, and a vibrant contemporary culture.
The Aeolian Islands, a UNESCO-listed volcanic archipelago north of Sicily, are the jewel of Sicilian yachting. Seven islands including the actively erupting Stromboli, the glamorous Panarea, and the thermal springs of Vulcano create one of the Mediterranean's most extraordinary cruising grounds.
