Yacht charter in Palermo · Beneteau — Oceanis 31 (2016)
Description of Fabrizio's sailboat
Sailboat Beneteau Oceanis 31 10m
A half-day boat excursion perfect for those who want to explore the hidden secrets of the Sicilian coast in a blend of history, nature, and adventure. Among ancient sea towers, mysterious seabeds, and enchanting coves, this tour is designed for those who love the authentic sea, thrills, and the wild beauty of off-the-beaten-path places. The departure from the Porticciolo di San Nicola immediately sets the tone: a small, picturesque landing place that opens the door to a charming stretch of coast easily reached in 20 minutes from the center of Palermo by car or train. Sailing along the coast, we reach the majestic Norman Tower, a stone sentinel that has dominated the sea for centuries. After a brief photo stop, we continue towards the transparent waters of Porticello, perfect for a first refreshing swim. The adventurous heart of the tour then leads us to the Bayesian Wreck, a breathtaking seabed that seems straight out of a movie, ideal for snorkeling and underwater photography enthusiasts. But it doesn't end there: the Secca delle Formiche, deep in the open sea, offers one of the most thrilling snorkeling experiences on the entire coast, among submerged walls and surprising marine life. Finally, we relax in front of Capo Zafferano, where the calm waters and spectacular views offer the perfect setting for a toast in the sun with local wine or beers. Skipper and owner Fabrizio Ferrera is certified for sailing and motorboating without limits from the coast and holds a certificate in Safety, Emergency and Survival at Sea. He speaks fluent English, French, and Spanish, in addition to Italian.

We had an incredible day sailing in Sicily! Fazbrizio was extremely communicative and flexible, which we appreciated so much. We were delayed by three hours due to a highway accident, and he was so kind and understanding about it. Once on board, he went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. He took us to stunning spots along the island that we never would have discovered on our own. He was also a fantastic host: interesting to talk to and full of fascinating stories and historical knowledge. This experience was truly a highlight of our trip—highly recommend!
Jen and her friends were the perfect companions for a beautiful day along the coast between Torre Normanna and Capo Zafferano. We returned to land after sunset, which made the experience even more captivating. Thank you guys for being aboard Grace!
A wonderful experience with Fabrizio and his boat... Spectacular scenery, a sailboat in excellent condition, and very friendly and pleasant service. We learned about and learned part of Sicily's history, its gastronomy, and its people through Fabrizio and Luigi's stories... Thank you both so much for a great family day!
