FAQs
What is the best time of year for a yacht charter in Sicily?
The main charter season runs from May to September, when daytime temperatures sit between 20 °C and 30 °C and the sea warms to about 24 °C.
High summer (late June-August) offers the longest days but is also the busiest and most expensive period in marinas.
Shoulder months May–June and September deliver lighter crowds, slightly cooler evenings and steadier winds—an attractive balance for many crews.
Which sailing areas in Sicily are most suitable for beginners?
-
Aeolian Islands (from Portorosa or Milazzo): Short hops (10–25 nm), generally calm seas in summer and a good choice of sheltered anchorages around Lipari and Vulcano.
-
North-west coast (Palermo – Cefalù – Capo d’Orlando): Well-spaced marinas with all-weather entrances and minimal tidal range.
-
South-east (Syracuse area): Wide bays and low swell make anchoring straightforward; the historic port provides all services if conditions deteriorate.
Less experienced skippers should treat the Egadi Islands with caution: buoy fields replace traditional anchoring, and katabatic gusts funnel off Marettimo’s cliffs.
How much should I budget for mooring and marina fees?
-
Marina transit berths (12 m monohull)
• €45–€85 per night outside July–August.
• €70–€120 per night in high season at popular marinas such as Portorosa, Palermo or Trapani. -
Egadi Marine Park buoy fields: from €18 per day, payable in cash or via the BlueDiscovery app.
-
Annual berth guide (Portorosa, excl. VAT): €5,000 per year for a 12 m berth, which equates to roughly €100 per high-season night when pro-rated.
Anchoring outside marine-protected zones is free, but always check local charts and restrictions.
Do I need a licence to rent a boat in Sicily?
-
Yes for most bareboat charters. Italian law requires:
-
A recognised sailing qualification (ICC, RYA Day Skipper or national equivalent) if the vessel is over 40 hp or you plan to sail more than 6 nm from the coast.
-
For smaller engines within 6 nm, no licence is needed, but charter companies normally ask for a resume proving practical experience.
-
Non-EU skippers can use an ASA 104, US SA or Sail Canada certificate plus a short self-declaration; check with your charter provider before arrival.
What weather and wind patterns should I expect?
Summer sees mainly light NW or NE sea-breeze systems at 5-15 kn, rarely more than 20 kn, with minimal swell between the islands.
Spring and autumn bring stronger frontal winds; plan flexible itineraries and favour marinas with all-weather shelter (e.g. Portorosa, Marina di Ragusa).
