Why should you charter a yacht in Sicily with a skipper?

In Sicily, you can opt for a skipper onboard your boat or you can book a bareboat charter. For your charter in Sicily, we recommend hiring a skipper. A skipper brings a wealth of local knowledge and experience to your charter, ensuring that you make the most of your time on the water. They know the local waters like the back of their hand, so you can relax and enjoy your holiday without stress. They can also help you find the best anchorages and moorings, as well as recommend great places to eat, drink and explore ashore.

When should I hire a boat in Sicily?

The Mediterranean climate in Sicily means that you can enjoy boat hire all year round. However, there are some advantages to hiring a boat in different seasons. In the summer, the Mediterranean Sea is at its warmest, making it a perfect time to sail. In the autumn and spring, the weather is cooler but still pleasant.
