About the experience

Rent this beautiful sailboat, kept in excellent condition, to enjoy one or more days on the crystal-clear Sicilian waters with friends or family!

Departing from beautiful Palermo, from May to September, we can spend a day (or half a day) exploring the coast around the Sicilian capital (Mondello, Capo Zafferano, etc.).

The boat is docked in Palermo.

If you want to fully enjoy the sea, you can organize a mini cruise to Cefalù or San Vito lo Capo, or a full-fledged week-long cruise, sailing to the Egadi or Aeolian Islands and/or enjoying the beauty of the Sicilian coast: San Vito lo Capo, Castellammare del Golfo, the Zingaro Nature Reserve, Macari, the Gulf of Monte Cofano, Castel di Tusa, Capo D’Orlando, etc.

The rental is conducted with an experienced captain on board, who is also the owner of the vessel. This boat has 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, and is perfect for four guests: two in the bow cabin, two in the aft cabin, and two additional guests thanks to two large sofas that convert into a dinette.
It is equipped with a single-seater canoe, a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and a 2.5-meter tender with a 2.5-hp outboard. Trolling and snorkeling equipment are also available.

The price listed here on Click&Boat is the price for chartering the boat.

Grocery and fuel costs must be added to the rental price (e.g., for the Aeolian Islands, around €250).

Boat & Breakfast can be arranged, either in port or at anchor, upon request! The price for this service is €50 per person for a minimum of two nights. If it is done at anchor, an additional €100 must be added to the total.

    A five-day cruise for two to the Aegadian Islands. It was a wonderful experience with Alfonso, an excellent captain, always available and willing to adjust travel plans to accommodate our requests, and a fantastic cook! The boat is spacious for two, equipped with a stand-up paddleboard, canoe, and tender. Highly recommended!

    We had a fantastic day with Alfonso. He was always attentive to making sure we didn't lack anything. He stocked the boat with lots of fun things to do and guaranteed a great meal on board. Thanks, Alfonso, for everything.

    We wanted for nothing. Alfonso took care of everything from preparing fantastic food, keeping the boat ship-shape, tour guiding around each of the Aeolian islands and skippering the vessel and berthing and anchoring, Stromboli was our highlight. His recommendations were thoughtful on where to eat and he was safe and knowledgeable. He caught a 14kg tuna of a jig that fed the 5 of us for days. His tuna crudo on a bed of avocado? Delicious. It’s bloody good value for money for two couples.

    We had a perfect day on the water celebrating a friend’s birthday with Alfonso! He was an incredibly kind host all the way through - from the communication beforehand, to cooking us a delicious pasta for lunch, to providing snorkels, a SUP board, and anything else we thought of during the day. It’s a beloved and mantaines vessel and a calm and warm captain. Could not recommend this more for a day sail!

    We spent a week to visit the Aeolian Islands, the weather was not in our favor but the skipper was not able to do his best either, he made us find ourselves with rough seas and the weather that did not help in the middle of a storm I will only leave you to imagine how we were. As for the boat, it is dated and I recommend it for short trips, maximum a weekend as it is not equipped with an internal shower and the spaces are limited.

    We traveled to the Egadi Islands. Alfonso is an expert and very helpful skipper as well as a deep connoisseur of the most beautiful coves of the various islands. Always safe navigation, a boat that feels a few years old but very well maintained, ideal for two people. He is also an excellent cook and the icing on the cake he gave us an unforgettable experience fishing and cooking fantastic sea urchins as well as a 2 kilo grouper!!!! In short we can only thank Alfonso for the splendid holiday he made us enjoy.

    We absolutely enjoyed the trip despite all the challenges with the weather. It was an unforgettable experience. Alfonso is one of the most patient people i’ve known; also a great cook (the best pasta ever!!). We’ve learned a lot and saw the beauty of Eolien Islands. Dolphin experience was the cherry on the top of the cake. Thanks and regards to the captain, Alfonso 👌⛵️🌊🐬

    5 days of pure fun and relaxation around the Aeolian Islands. Alfonso proved to be an excellent skipper, excellent fisherman and excellent chef. Eating freshly caught fish in the middle of the sea is priceless. Super recommended

    I booked Artmare for my niece and her fiance, who were visiting Sicily. Communication with Alfonso was super easy- I even had to change the booking date after it was confirmed and that was no problem at all. Alfonso treated them to an unforgettable day on the water- it could well be the highlight of their trip to Sicily- the will not stop talking about it.

    Alfonso was able to welcome us in his boat in the best way, in our tour of the Aeolian Islands we touched all the islands, and he was able to meet our every need. True sailing enthusiast he explained many things to us about navigation, his fishing trips were unbeatable (we were able to eat what he caught). Highly recommended
