Sicily and the Aeolian Islands  Sant' di Militello and Marsala Ports

The history of Sicily is rich and varied It consists mostly of successive waves of invaders (the Greeks that founded Syracuse in 734 BC, the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans and the Spaniards) occupying the island and leaving cultural influences which have blended in often fascinating ways, such as the unique Arabic-Norman architecture of the Middle Ages.  Sicily is well known for its unique natural beauty, Etna's volcano and its very imposing coasts, islands and islets. Starting your cruise from our base in Palermo, a city of numerous monuments, you can sail East to Cefalu, a bustling tourist resort built about the original picturesque fishing village. Within 35 miles from the coast lies the Archipelago of the Aeolian Islands. There are 7 islands that are peaks of volcanoes and two remain active: Stromboli and Gran Cratere on Vulcano.
Although there are no really secure harbours, there are sufficient harbours and anchorages sheltered from the prevailing summer winds to make it well worthwhile cruising around this magnificent archipelago.  The normal summer winds are from the NW occasionally going around the W. There may also be winds from the NE.
Choosing to sail North of Palermo at 36 miles there is Ustica island also an island of volcanic origin.
Our second base in Sicily is located in Marsala, a picturesque town, founded by the Carthaginians , well known from the popular wine.
Marsala it's a pleasant relaxed place from where you can sail North West for visiting in a range of 25 miles the Egadi Islands that are three principal islands, Favignana, Marettimo and Levanzo, or sailling South for visiting Pantelleria, an island of volcanic origin, and the barren rocky island of Lampedusa that has recently become popular for the good underwater fishing around the coast.  Marsala is also ideal as a starting point to Malta (120 miles) and of course to Tunisia.

Sant' di Militelli is a pleasant town in the province of Messina between the hills and sea, in the middle between Palermo and Messina exactly in front of the Aeolian Islands. Easily accessible from both international airports of Palermo (160 km) and Catania (200 km). A new superhighway and continuous railway system makes this an ideal point for embarkation on sailing the Aeolian Islands as well as other interesting itineraries.
Sample Itinerary: Alicudi, Filicudi, Lipari, Panarea, salina, Stomboli and Vulcano are all about 3 hours sailing time or 25 NM distance making this ideal for a week charter.

Sardinia    Ports Portisco and Carloforte

Portisco base is located in the beautiful "Costa Smeralda" (Emerald Coast), between Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo, only 10 minutes from Olbia Airport. Marina di Portisco, which is a natural green cove, is ideal for sailing tourism and it offers a variety of services in a warm and hospitable environment.
Departing from Portisco, you can sail to large number of destinations: Madalena Archipelago is a natural park scattered of unique beaches, among which the famous pink beach (spiaggia rosa) in Budelli. The wild Corsica lies on the other side of the "Bocche di Bonifacio". The northern coast of Sardinia as far as the beautiful and untouched island of Asinara and the eastern coast as far as the gulf of Osorei, which is the preferred habitat of the last populations of "foca monaca" (monk seal). During these trips you can easily find well-equipped shorelines; you can enjoy a lifetime holiday in a exclusive environment.
Carloforte is the only populated area in San Pietro Island, part of the Sulcitano Archipelago, which consists of small islands and islets on the southwest of Sardinia. The island's irregural coasts offer many amazing natural landings. In these uncontaminated places it is still possible to witness "la mattanza", the old-fashioned way of tuna fishing. Our yachts are moored in the harbour of Carloforte that intergrates with the caracteristic town.
From Carloforte you can follow two main routes, one along the western coast of Sardinia as far as Stintino and one along the southern coast as far as Villasimius. Each route offers various different options, ideal for both those who seek untouched corners of nature with cobalt and turquoise waters, and those who prefer a fashionable vacation. You can hardly find such variety anywhere else. Roman and Phoenix ruins of the towns of Nora and Tharros lie along with exotic vegetation, romantic coves and well supplied shorelines.

Gulf of Naples   Argopoli - SA Port          ALMAFI COAST
Agropoli, pearl of Cilento, land of myth and nature. The geographic position of Agropoli is  between Capo Campanella (Sorrento) and Capo Palinuro. It is an ideal starting point for sailing
towards the various landing places and islands strewn in the Gulf of Napoli and along the Costiera Cilentana which are famous for its unpolluted natural beauties and its important archaeological and historical vestiges.
Sailing along these coasts means to follow the footsteps of Ulisse, the Homeric hero, who resisted the song of Siren Leucosia, who was transformed, then, into a rock (Punta Licosa) and of Enea, in return from burning Troy, who lost here his loyal helmsman Palinuro.
