Carruba is a 2021 Lagoon 46 catamaran based at Marina Portorosa in Furnari, perfectly positioned to explore the stunning Tyrrhenian coast and the Aeolian Islands. With four cabins and twelve berths, this modern catamaran welcomes families, groups of friends, or multiple couples seeking a spacious, comfortable week on the water. The broad beam and dual-hull design create an exceptionally stable platform—ideal for those new to sailing or simply wanting to relax without the motion of a monohull. From your home base on Sicily's northern shore, you'll have immediate access to crystalline anchorages, volcanic landscapes, and charming fishing villages that define this corner of Italy.

Life aboard Carruba balances ease with authentic sailing. The flybridge offers an open-air vantage point for morning coffee (prepared in the onboard espresso machine) and evening aperitivos, while the teak cockpit and cushioned seating invite long afternoons of conversation and reading. Below deck, four well-appointed cabins ensure privacy for your group, and four heads with electric toilets mean minimal queuing. The air conditioning keeps the interior cool during warm Mediterranean days, and the galley's refrigeration handles fresh provisions from local markets. For those who want to sail actively, electric winches and autopilot make handling the generous sail plan manageable, while the GPS and modern navigation suite keep you confident in any conditions.

A typical week unfolds between hidden coves and island villages. You might motor-sail to Lipari or Vulcano, anchoring in crystalline shallows where the water shifts from turquoise to deep indigo. The onboard dessalinator provides unlimited fresh water for showers after swimming, and the tender (dinghy) opens access to remote beaches and waterfront restaurants. Evenings are spent at peaceful anchorages—perhaps off Panarea or in a quiet bay near Messina—where the generator powers your evening meal preparation and the gentle rock of the catamaran lulls you into Mediterranean rhythms. By week's end, you'll have tasted local seafood, swum in waters that have inspired millennia of travellers, and discovered why this stretch of coast remains one of Europe's most unspoiled sailing destinations.
