Joy Planet is a 2020 Dufour 360 Grand Large, a nimble 11-metre sailing yacht based at Marsala Marina in Sicily—a historic port town where Baroque architecture meets crystalline Mediterranean waters. This two-cabin sailboat comfortably sleeps six guests across thoughtfully appointed cabins, making it ideal for couples seeking intimate exploration, small families, or groups of friends ready to navigate Sicilian coastal life together. From Marsala, you'll have immediate access to some of the Mediterranean's most rewarding sailing grounds: the dramatic Egadi Islands with their hidden coves, the Tyrrhenian coastline's quiet anchorages, and day passages to Pantelleria or Favignana that feel both achievable and genuinely rewarding.

Life aboard Joy Planet balances ease with authentic seamanship. The yacht is equipped with a reliable 30-horsepower engine, GPS chartplotter, and autopilot—practical systems that let you focus on the rhythm of sailing rather than technical concerns. A sprayhood protects the cockpit during morning departures, while cushioned seating invites long afternoons at anchor. The lazy bag keeps sail handling straightforward, and the onboard dinghy opens access to remote beaches and local fishing villages inaccessible by larger vessels. A single head with shower facilities and a well-designed galley support comfortable self-catering, while the radio-CD system provides entertainment during calm evenings.

A typical week unfolds with unhurried purpose: mornings spent motoring or sailing toward anchorages known for their clarity and solitude, afternoons exploring on foot or by tender, and evenings anchored in sheltered bays where the water mirrors the Sicilian sky. You'll discover family-run trattorias in small ports, swim in waters so transparent they seem unreal, and experience the particular magic of Mediterranean sailing—where each day feels both timeless and distinct. Joy Planet welcomes those ready to embrace a week of genuine connection: with the sea, with Sicily's quieter corners, and with the people sharing this journey alongside you.
