Rent a boat in Palermo

Palermo is the place that makes you forget about everything, amazing you with its pure Italian fashion. One of the most prominent cities of Sicily that is impossible not to fall in love with. The city attracts thousands of sailors annually due to its welcoming atmosphere and outstanding sailing conditions. Being located on the largest island in the Mediterranean, Palermo represents a great place for exploration of the large expanses of water as well as unique architectural styles and ancient buildings.

 This is the reason why great sailing conditions are not the only reason to visit the magnificent city of Palermo. This is also an ideal spot to taste the authentic Sicilian cuisine with its diversity and dive into vivid local life. You may also explore ancient ruins and scenic towns, monumental cathedrals and theaters and dive into the unique beauty of other historical sights.

Thanks to the advantageous location, Palermo enjoys all the benefits of the warm Mediterranean climate all year round. The island of Sicily enjoys hot summers and mild winters with no abrupt temperature change. It means that you will not have to face sudden cool winds during sailing on your shining yacht.  Even in winter, the air temperature never drops below 12 ºC, which enables experienced sailors to improve their skills in colder and wetter spaces. Summer provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy the beach as well as to rent a good boat for enjoying hot 30 ºC air. The absence of frequent precipitation, calm winds, and pleasant temperature contribute to your overall positive yachting experience.
