Sunsail Sailing Vacations, the company for sailors by sailors, announced today its expansion into the beautiful Mediterranean cruising grounds of Italy and Sicily. The new Sunsail bases, which offer bareboat and skippered sailing vacations, are located in Tropea, on the southwest coast of Italy, and Palermo on the northwest coast of Sicily, perfectly located to explore the beautiful waters of the famous Lipari and Aegadian islands.
Tropea, on the Calabrian coast of Italy, is the ideal departure point to visit southern Italy, Sicily or the magical Aeolian Islands, only 30 miles away. Successfully preserving its 16th century features, Tropea offers both historical and architectural delights. The new Sunsail base is located in the main marina, just an hour from the international airport.
In Northwest Sicily, the capital Palermo offers the cruising grounds of the Aegadian islands, Malta and Tunisia. Sicily is well known for its unique natural beauty and the highest active volcano in Europe, 'Mount Etna'. The coast offers a landscape of fascinating beauty, with smaller islets scattered all around the coast. The Sunsail base is 20 miles from Palermo International Airport, and can also be reached by ferry and hydrofoil from Naples.
"After popular demand, we are delighted to be present in this beautiful region, solidifying Sunsail's position as the foremost charter company in the Mediterranean and providing new experiences for our guests," said Lex Raas, Sunsail President.
Sunsail will offer a fleet of yachts from 31ft to 50ft with double staterooms, complete electronics and fully equipped galleys, for the ideal cruising vacation. One-way charters are also available.
The new Italian locations join recent base openings in Koh Chang, Thailand, Abacos, Bahamas, Orhaniye, Turkey and a new environmentally-friendly location in the British Virgin Islands.
