Boat charter in Palermo

Sicily's northern coast is the shoreline a sailor hopes to see from the deck: steep limestone headlands, deep blue water, and a light that shifts through the day over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Palermo sits on the island's north shore, and from its harbour the land rises quickly into mountains that frame the city. It is a coast made for unhurried passages, long lunches at anchor, and the slow discovery of one bay after another, each one with its own character and its own view back toward the shore.
