Day by day

1. 1 Day 1 Welcome aboard in Pantelleria

   Embarkation from 18:00 in Pantelleria. Meet your skipper and fellow sailors, settle into your cabin and enjoy the first evening on board. The "black pearl" of the Mediterranean: volcanic coast, the Arco dell'Elefante, natural hot springs, dammusi and sweet passito wine.

2. 2 Day 2 Pantelleria → Lampedusa ≈ 99 NM · 16.5 h sailing

   Open-sea passage from Pantelleria to Lampedusa: about 99 NM, often sailed overnight or with an early start, depending on the wind. Closer to Africa than to Sicily: the Rabbit Beach, Cala Pulcino and Tabaccara, with water so clear the yacht seems to float in the air.

3. 3 Day 3 A day around Lampedusa

   No long passage today: the skipper chooses the best bays around Lampedusa for swimming, snorkelling and lunch at anchor, depending on the wind. Evening ashore or under the stars.

4. 4 Day 4 Lampedusa → Capo Passero ≈ 163 NM · 27 h sailing

   Open-sea passage from Lampedusa to Capo Passero: about 163 NM, often sailed overnight or with an early start, depending on the wind. The south-eastern corner of Sicily, where the Ionian and the Mediterranean meet: a fortified island, tuna-fishery history and golden beaches.

5. 5 Day 5 Capo Passero → Siracusa ≈ 28 NM · 4.5 h sailing

   Sail from Capo Passero to Siracusa: about 28 NM, roughly 4.5 hours under sail, with a swim stop along the way. Anchored off Ortigia, the baroque island-city: the Duomo built on a Greek temple, the Arethusa spring and evening strolls on the sea walls.

6. 6 Day 6 Siracusa → Taormina ≈ 53 NM · 9 h sailing

   Sail from Siracusa to Taormina: about 53 NM, roughly 9 hours under sail, with a swim stop along the way. Anchored in the bay of Giardini Naxos below Taormina: the Greek theatre, Isola Bella and Mount Etna on the horizon.

7. 7 Day 7 Taormina → Reggio Calabria ≈ 29 NM · 5 h sailing

   Sail from Taormina to Reggio Calabria: about 29 NM, roughly 5 hours under sail, with a swim stop along the way. Facing Sicily across the Strait, home of the Riace Bronzes and of what d'Annunzio called "the most beautiful kilometre in Italy".

8. 8 Day 8 Farewell in Reggio Calabria

   Breakfast on board and disembarkation by 10:00.

The programme is a guide: the skipper adapts the route to the weather, the sea and the group, always putting safety first.
