Catania

Catania has a strong and mystifying magnetic pull. This is Sicily at its most youthful, a city packed with cool and gritty bars, abundant energy and an earthy spirit in sharp contrast to Palermo’s aristocratic airs. Catania’s historic core is a UNESCO-listed wonder, where black and white palazzi tower over sweeping baroque piazzas. One minute you’re scanning the skyline from a dizzying dome, the next appreciating contemporary art in an 18th-century convent. 

The dramatic scenery around Catania makes it an ideal base for a Sicily yacht charter. Cruise along the rugged eastern coastline with views of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano. Drop anchor at secluded coves and sandy beaches only accessible by sea. Discover quaint fishing villages and sample the fresh seafood catch of the day. With a fascinating history, vibrant culture and stunning natural sights, Catania offers the complete Sicilian experience for yacht charter guests.
