Sicily, being the largest island in the Mediterranean, is home to a wide range of natural beauty along its coast and many of these places remain off the beaten track. This is why we highly recommend having a skipper onboard your catamaran. Not only will you be able to explore the island with a local, but you also won’t have to worry about any of the logistics or technicalities. Whether you hire a catamaran with or without a skipper, your sailing holiday will be one to remember!

When is the best time to charter a catamaran in Sicily?

Sicily’s ideal location means that you can hire a catamaran all-year round. The island has a warm climate in the summer and mild temperatures in the winter. However, if you wish to swim in the water and make the most of the different water activities and sights, we recommend hiring a catamaran between April and October. The busiest months of the year are July and August, but if you visit the island between April and June or September and October, you will be able to soak up the sun without the crowds!
