Cabin charter · Calabria, Sicily
Crotone to Pantelleria
The trip
A 7-night skippered sailing cruise from Crotone to Pantelleria, calling at Capo Rizzuto, Capo Spartivento, Siracusa & Capo Passero.
One of the largest marine reserves in Italy: posidonia meadows, turquoise shallows and some of the clearest water of the Ionian Sea.
The southern tip of mainland Italy, where the Ionian meets the Strait of Messina: wild coast, a lighthouse and long empty beaches.
Days are spent sailing, swimming in quiet bays and discovering harbour towns; evenings at anchor or in port. The route is a guide: the skipper adapts it to the weather and sea conditions.
