Palermo Yacht Charter Information
The seas around Palermo (capital city of Sicily) offer smooth seas and the opportunity to visit the rugged islands lying north of Sicily – architecturally-rich Cefalau, rocky Filicudi, and colorful Salina, to name just a few. 8-12 knot winds blow predictably from the northwest, and care must be taken because of strong tides and rocky areas. The tide, too, can lower by several inches. However, there are plenty of anchorages, small tidal ranges, and easy line-of-sight cruising in sheltered waters. The best conditions for sailing and yacht chartering are from May to October, where you might be the lone sailor on the open seas.
