Red Horizon awaits in Palermo, where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets centuries of Sicilian culture. This 2019 Bavaria C45 sailboat offers the perfect balance of comfort and performance for groups and families seeking an authentic Mediterranean sailing experience. Based at Marina Villa Igiea, you'll begin each morning with views across the water toward Monte Pellegrino, then spend your days exploring hidden anchorages along Sicily's northern coast and the nearby Aeolian Islands.

The four cabins and three bathrooms accommodate up to ten guests in genuine comfort, with thoughtful amenities that make extended time aboard feel effortless. A well-equipped galley with refrigeration and an ice maker means fresh provisions from local markets stay preserved for impromptu dinners at anchor. The radio-CD system and convertisseur de tension keep the atmosphere relaxed during afternoon passages, while the bow thruster and autopilot reduce fatigue on longer sails, allowing you to focus on the rhythm of the sea. A bimini top and sprayhood protect you from the Sicilian sun and occasional spray, transforming the cockpit into your floating living room.

The 57-horsepower engine provides reliable power when the wind drops, and the included dinghy opens access to secluded coves and waterfront villages unreachable by larger vessels. Typical weeks unfold between Mondello's sheltered waters, the dramatic cliffs of Cefalù, and the volcanic shores of Lipari and Vulcano. You might anchor off a quiet beach for swimming and snorkeling, then motor into a working fishing village for pasta with fresh swordfish and local wine as the sun softens the coastline. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a group of friends new to bareboat chartering, Red Horizon's responsive handling and generous layout make her ideal for creating those rare weeks where time slows and every sunset feels like the day's main event.
