Charter direct from Marina Portorosa (Furnari) — our fleet, where you'll sail, how to get there and what it costs. Bareboat or skippered, with no broker fee.
Sicily offers some of the most dramatic sailing in the Mediterranean, and Marina Portorosa on the northeast coast is the perfect springboard for the Aeolian Islands — a UNESCO-listed chain of seven active and dormant volcanoes rising straight out of a deep blue sea.
A good base saves you time, money and motoring. Marina Portorosa (Furnari) is well-placed and easy to reach, and puts the best of the Aeolian Islands within your first day's sail — so your week is spent cruising, not commuting to the good stuff.
Getting there: fly into Catania Fontanarossa (CTA), about 90 minutes; Palermo (PMO) is an alternative. We'll confirm transfer options and your check-in time when we book.
From Portorosa you cross to the Aeolians: the ever-smoking cone of Stromboli, the sulphur springs and mud baths of Vulcano, green vine-clad Salina, and lively Lipari and Panarea. It is bucket-list sailing — volcanic islands, black-sand beaches and warm night anchorages beneath an erupting summit — with the mainland ports of Milazzo and Cefalù within reach too.
