Why charter here
Sicily is one of the Mediterranean’s most rewarding and underexplored yacht charter destinations. The Aeolian Islands — a volcanic archipelago north of Sicily — offer an astonishing variety: Stromboli’s constantly active volcano erupting nightly into the sky, Vulcano’s therapeutic mud baths, the stylish bars of Lipari, and the remote beauty of Filicudi and Alicudi. On Sicily itself, the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento ranks among the world’s great archaeological sites.
