REVIEWS

Unbeatable beauty

A super expensive hotel during the high season or a week on a catamaran navigating the waters of the Mediterranean with the breeze on your face? After having tried BlueNauta, my wife and I are no longer in doubt: now we’ll always choose a holiday ON the sea and not BY the sea. BlueNauta is the best!

Holiday with friends

A holiday on a catamaran? I’ve finally tried it and I’d do it again. Sunbathing on the catamaran immersed in the beauty of Sicily is an experience I’d recommend to everyone. And the skipper? Totally safe. Unforgettable sunsets in the evening and dinners on the boat with friends in total RELAXATION. See you next year BlueNauta!

FAQ

Can I change the holiday itinerary?

Yes, absolutely!
The itineraries presented on our site are examples of a holiday idea. They are suggestions for a starting point. We chose them as they are the itineraries our customers love most. Get in touch directly with BlueNauta to define your exact itinerary based on your preferences.

Will there be other passengers on board?
No, the BlueNauta catamaran charter does not offer cabin packages. The rate refers to hiring the entire boat.

How many people can take part?
It’s your holiday, so you decide how many people you want to come with you, from one person up to the maximum number that your chosen catamaran model can host.

Do guests have to take part in navigating or managing the boat?
If you want to try steering the catamaran, our skippers will be happy to involve you in the main navigation manoeuvres, under their supervision.

Are these holidays suitable for children?
Yes. Thanks to the ample on-board spaces and particular stability, the catamaran also lends itself well to hosting little ones.

What should I bring with me?

In terms of clothing, bear in mind that you’ll spend most of the time on board the catamaran in swimwear, barefoot or wearing deck shoes. Hats, bandanas, sunglasses and sun protection will be useful. For the evening, a sweater or light jumper will be enough, and bring a windbreaker just in case.

Masks, snorkels and fishing equipment are available for on-board entertainment, or you can bring your own if you prefer.

Do I need a nautical licence to hire a catamaran?
No, it’s not necessary.

Do I have to take out insurance before leaving?
It’s not necessary to take out personal insurance. The rates include insurance.

BlueNauta Charters: Sea like you’ve never seen before.

BlueNauta catamaran charters are designed to offer you maximum comfort, flexibility,
and the chance to personalise your holiday.
They involve hiring an entire boat, skipper included. The departure point and itinerary will be agreed with you based on your preferences.
The vessels are modern, luxurious and equipped with all comforts. They can offer you a trip that combines the spirit of sailing with stability and ample living spaces.
The on-board skipper will take care of all steering. Guests can get involved in the navigation operations or sit back and enjoy a totally relaxing holiday.
Unlike a traditional sailing or motorboat, catamarans have a double hull, with two boats side by side. The living area is located on the bridge that connects the two hulls. This type of structure makes a holiday on a catamaran particularly comfortable and relaxing.
The stability from the double hull means that the vessel never tilts as a result of waves or wind, as often happens with monohull boats. The internal spaces, which are usually narrow in sailboats, are pleasantly comfortable on a catamaran. Equipped with two motors, one per hull, it can navigate fluidly and constantly even against the wind.

LOCATIONS

Messina

Messina is located on the north eastern tip of Sicily and is the closest city to the Italian peninsula. It offers visitors culture, art and a long-standing tradition of food and wine.

Aeolian Islands

An archipelago of islands with volcanic origins, it is administratively part of the Messina Province. The “windy islands” are a popular tourist destination, ideal for a catamaran cruise. Visit our page dedicated to the Aeolian Islands.

Milazzo

A municipality in the Messina Province, Milazzo is a stretch of land nestled between the Patti and Milazzo gulfs. Facing the Aeolian Islands, Milazzo is an excellent departure point for sailing towards the archipelago.

Cefalù

One of the prettiest villages in Italy, at the foot of a rocky ridge, Cefalù is built up around Cefalù Cathedral (Basilica Cattedrale della Trasfigurazione). A cathedral framed by two mighty Norman towers, the custodians of magnificent mosaics including the famous depiction of Christ Pantocrator. A must-see for anyone passing through Cefalù.

Ustica

A small and marvellous island off the shore of Palermo, whose administration it is part of, it is known as the black pearl of the Mediterranean due to its dark volcanic rocks. With its protected marine area, Ustica is ideal for fans of scuba diving. 15,000 untouched hectares where you can admire dusky groupers, tuna, schools of yellowmouth barracuda, and loggerhead sea turtles.

Palermo

The Sicilian capital, rich both in culture and fantastic beaches, Palermo extends along the northern coast of the island, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Don’t miss a visit to the Vucciria market, the Martorana Church and the Teatro Massimo, the beaches in Mondello, Isola delle Femmine, and for fans of scuba diving, Sferracavallo.

Castellammare del Golfo

In the Trapani Province, Castellammare is a particularly fascinating gulf to visit by catamaran; its coasts alternate between rocky cliffs and sandy beaches and small coves. The landscape is extremely picturesque and there are many places to take photographs from. Make sure you try the couscous with fish.

San Vito lo Capo

A small but very famous seaside resort on the north west coast of the island. A beach with bright fine sand, crystal clear waters and green vegetation all characterise the coast of San Vito Lo Capo. Every year, it hosts Cous Cous Fest, an unmissable festival for visitors in the area at the end of September.

Trapani

On the western coast of Sicily, Trapani is famous for its white beaches and crystal clear sea. It is also famous for its salt, and the city is home to a Salt Museum where you can discover how the salt is extracted from the seawater. Arriving at the furthest point of the coast, you can admire the famous Ligny Tower.

Aegadian Islands

The ideal destination for lovers of clear sea and uncontaminated nature. The islands are also great for fans of trekking. Discover the itinerary for the Aegadian Islands.

Marsala

Famous for the production of the wine of the same name, Marsala is the most populated municipality in the Trapani Province. A sail to Lido Signorino is a must, with its extremely beautiful beach and tropical nature. If you decide to come on land, it’s worth taking in the view of the sunset over the Stagnone, where a unique trick of the light will create an unforgettable panorama.

Pantelleria

Nestled in the middle of the Strait of Sicily, Pantelleria island has a heritage of biodiversity and culture. The island produces the famous Passito di Pantelleria, a unique sweet wine made from Zibibbo grapes that dry naturally on the vine before being harvested. Another highly famous product is the Pantelleria caper, which is sold salted, as a sauce or as pâté.

Mazara del Vallo

Situated on the western coast of Sicily, Mazara del Vallo is 200 km from Tunisia. As well as making it famous for fish, its favourable position by the sea has encouraged the blending of different cultures. The Tunisian influence can be especially seen on a visit to the Kasbah, a district with a typical North African structure whose façades are embellished with hand-decorated majolica.

Sciacca

On the south western coast of the island, in the Agrigento Province, it is considered Sicily’s oldest thermal town. As well as fish, Sciacca is famous for its ceramics. As you explore the narrow alleys in the centre, you’ll come across workshops where artisans are intently and skilfully decorating plates, vases and statuettes. There is a very eccentric float parade during Carnival.

Agrigento

Nestled on the south western Sicilian coast, Agrigento is known as the city of temples due to its eight Doric temples in the “Valley of the Temples”, a UNESCO world heritage site.
If you stop in Agrigento, we highly recommend a visit to the valley of the temples, especially in the morning or later on in the day to avoid the hottest times of day.

Ragusa

The most southern capital of Italy, known for the Marina di Ragusa seaside resort, it is home to a port with eight hundred moorings. One of the most active tourist ports in Sicily, Marina di Ragusa offers endless services and attractions. There are many bars, pubs, restaurants and shops.
The Marina di Ragusa coast is particularly appreciated and offers white sands and a crystal clear sea.

Syracuse

Facing the Ionian Sea, Syracuse is the ideal stop for lovers of history and archaeology. A mix of Roman ruins, ancient Greek theatres, Gothic and Byzantine churches. The “Ear of Dionysius” cave is also famous. Carved from the limestone and uniquely shaped like an ear, sound is amplified up to 16 times inside the cave.
There are plenty of breath-taking beaches, such as Calamosche, Fontane Bianche and Vendicari.

Catania

On the eastern coast of Sicily, at the foot of an active volcano stands the ancient port city of Catania. Destroyed a total of nine times by invasions, eruptions and earthquakes, nine times it has been rebuilt. Various pathways lead close to Etna’s summit, which often offers displays of fire and lava. You can travel by foot, organise an off-road excursion, or opt for the most convenient option: the Ferrovia Circumetnea railway line.

Taormina

The combination of beautiful landscapes, archaeological and cultural heritage and an enchanting position overlooking the sea make Taormina one of the coveted tourist destinations in Sicily. In addition to the magnificent beaches and Isola Bella, it’s worth visiting the Antico Teatro Greco, the island’s second largest theatre.
