Sicily boat rentals
Sailing vacations in Sicily offer great opportunities for history lovers. While sailing the warm Mediterranean Sea, stops at secluded moorings offer the chance to enjoy Greek, Roman and Arab influenced architecture, cuisine and culture. Since ancient times, the different civilizations that invaded this island considered it their duty to leave a mark of their legacy. Wise Sicilians, on the other hand, did everything possible to preserve their own heritage. The influence of these various cultures creates an eclectic and interesting backdrop for a charter around the waters of Sicily.
