You step onto the 40‑foot catamaran at Molo Trapezoidale as the late afternoon light hits Palermo’s harbor — the city’s palazzo roofs drop away and the sea opens like a promise. The boat’s twin hulls settle; the skipper trims the sails and the engine’s hush becomes background rhythm. By dusk you’re anchored in a quiet bay, lights from shore reduced to a line, and the Mediterranean breathes around the hull.

Operated by Sicily by Catamaran · Palermo, Sicily
You step onto the 40‑foot catamaran at Molo Trapezoidale as the late afternoon light hits Palermo’s harbor — the city’s palazzo roofs drop away and the sea opens like a promise. The boat’s twin hulls settle; the skipper trims the sails and the engine’s hush becomes background rhythm. By dusk you’re anchored in a quiet bay, lights from shore reduced to a line, and the Mediterranean breathes around the hull.
This route threads past Mondello’s sandy crescent and the karst cliffs of Capo Gallo, where limestone has been carved into caves and coves since the island’s geological youth. The coastline reads like a history of sailors — Phoenician waypoints, Roman charts and a Spanish watchtower that kept vigil against corsairs. Palermo supplies the trip’s flavor: fresh fish, citrus, and wines that tie meals to place.
Practically, expect two days aboard with check‑in at 15:00 and check‑out at 08:00. The boat sleeps up to 10 but cabins are intimate — four double cabins with private heads and air conditioning. Activities include snorkeling (equipment provided), SUP and tender excursions into sea caves, plus an optional spot of sport fishing. Weather and sea state can alter the route; the crew manages fuel, safety briefings and provisioning.
Bring daypack essentials, motion‑sickness remedies if you’re prone, and a small soft bag for the cabin. Plan for late summer sun, early morning breezes and compact, comfortable evenings on deck. For travelers who want sea, shore and a short, contained overnight experience, this is a direct way to live Palermo from the water.
Check‑in is at 15:00 at Molo Trapezoidale (Cala) and check‑out the next morning at 08:00 at the same pier.
Yes — masks, fins and snorkel gear are included; scuba gear is available as listed in the trip inclusions.
