The Sicily Experience

Sighted off the bow, a volcano spews ash and smoke into the atmosphere. A town sits on the slopes below, they are harvesting crops and going about daily life in the shadow of possible destruction. The steep shoreline is teetering on the brink of collapse, black boulders perched like high-divers over the sea, preparing for their plunge. Nothing is sure here, everything hangs in the balance of forces bigger than your small sailboat cutting shoreward through the deep blue sea. Still, you hold a steady helm on your approach. Life is sweeter in perspective.

During a sailing itinerary to the Aeolian Islands, you’ll experience the island edges, home to white pumice mountains and jagged cliff sides that seemingly dives straight into the Mediterranean’s indigo seas lined by black sand beaches. These islands are fueled by wine, food, the sea, and the volcanoes--two that are currently active. Fragrances of olives, capers, sea salt, and vegetables ripen in the sun that fills the air. Less touristic than their neighboring archipelagos, you’ll always be reminded that these islands are far removed from everyday life.

The Egadi Islands are a lesson in nature’s resilience, where time slows, and the rhythms of wind and water shape the land more than people ever could—Favignana’s limestone coves, Levanzo’s prehistoric cave art, and Marettimo’s untamed cliffs remind us that the Mediterranean was once wilder, less tamed by humans. Ustica is a volcanic outpost, isolated and obscure, the Galapagos of Sicily. Finally there is Palermo, the chaotic, intoxicating heart of Sicily, where the collision of cultures—Arabic, Norman, Spanish—has produced a cuisine, an architecture, and a way of life that feels almost defiant in its complexity, a place where history is always present, simmering just beneath the surface.

We explore aboard a Dufour 48' catamaran, equipped with four private cabins, each with an ensuite WC. The cabins are spacious, accommodating either a couple or two friends sharing. A captain and a chef lead the way, with a group size ranging from six to eight guests.
