Levante is a 2020 Oceanis 35.1 sailboat based at Marina Portorosa in Furnari, nestled on Sicily's northern coast where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets dramatic volcanic landscapes. This three-cabin vessel is purpose-built for small groups and families seeking an authentic week of Mediterranean sailing, combining comfort with the freedom to explore hidden anchorages and coastal villages at your own pace. The boat's thoughtful layout sleeps six across well-appointed cabins, making it ideal for two couples or a family with teenagers looking to share the sailing experience.

Life aboard Levante revolves around her teak cockpit, where mornings begin with fresh espresso from the onboard coffee maker while you plot the day's course on the GPS. The cockpit's built-in speakers set the soundtrack for your voyage, while plush cushions invite lingering conversations as the sun moves across the sky. The bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of maneuvering in tight anchorages and allow you to focus on the scenery—or simply relax while the boat finds its rhythm. An onboard refrigerator keeps provisions fresh for simple lunches and evening aperitivos, and the lazy bag system makes sail handling effortless, even for less experienced crew.

A typical week explores the Aeolian Islands and the Sicilian coast, where each day brings a new anchorage: volcanic black-sand beaches, medieval hilltop towns accessible by dinghy, and family-run trattorias serving pasta con le sarde and fresh catch. The included dinghy opens access to remote coves and shallow bays where larger yachts cannot venture. Whether you're an experienced sailor taking the helm or a group of friends learning together, Levante's responsive handling and reliable systems inspire confidence in all conditions.

Picture your final evening: anchored in a secluded bay as the sun descends behind Stromboli's smoking cone, the water glassy and warm, a simple dinner of local seafood shared with your crew, and the certainty that a week at sea has changed how you see the world.
