Cayetana is a 2017 Oceanis 48 sailboat based at Marina Portorosa in Furnari, Sicily—an ideal launching point for exploring the crystalline waters and dramatic coastlines of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This 14.6-metre vessel combines classic sailing elegance with contemporary comfort, making it an excellent choice for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking a week of authentic Mediterranean cruising. With four well-appointed cabins and four separate heads, Cayetana accommodates up to ten guests while maintaining privacy and ease. The boat's thoughtful design includes lazy jacks for effortless sail handling and a bow thruster that simplifies maneuvering in tight anchorages—practical touches that enhance your time on the water without demanding constant attention to technical detail.

A typical week aboard unfolds between the Aeolian Islands and the Sicilian coast, where hidden coves and whitewashed fishing villages reward each day's sail. You'll wake to morning light filtering through cabin portholes, take breakfast on deck while plotting your course, and spend afternoons anchored in crystalline bays where the water invites swimming and snorkeling. The 75-horsepower engine ensures reliable passage during calm spells, while the responsive sail plan rewards those who prefer wind-powered exploration. Whether you're an experienced sailor or chartering with a professional crew, Cayetana's layout and systems encourage both independence and relaxation.

Evenings bring the rhythm that defines Mediterranean sailing: sunset aperitivos at anchor, fresh seafood sourced from local markets, and the gentle rock of the boat as night settles over the water. The four heads and generous cabin space mean that larger groups remain comfortable throughout the week, with room to spread out and privacy when needed. Cayetana invites you to experience Sicily not as a tourist, but as a temporary resident—exploring remote anchorages, dining where locals gather, and returning each night to a floating home that becomes more familiar with every sunrise. A week aboard is measured not in miles covered, but in the quality of stillness found between one perfect anchorage and the next.
