Palermo's waters, in practice

The Gulf of Palermo below Monte Pellegrino, open to the Tyrrhenian with Ustica island offshore. Wind-wise: a sirocco that loads the air with African sand some days, gulf breezes the rest of the time.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: La Cala, the old harbour in the heart of the historic city, and the neighbouring marinas. The local classics: Mondello beach, the Capo Gallo reserve and, for the ambitious, Ustica, Italy’s pioneering marine reserve. High season: from May to September, Sicily stretching the season well past summer.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a boat rental cost in Palermo?

Roughly €100–250 per day for a license-free boat, €200–600 for a RIB, more for motorboats, sailboats and catamarans. Boat-Comparator compares the real prices published by the platforms at the time of your search.

Do I need a license to rent a boat in Palermo?

Italy is the most permissive country: no license up to 40 hp (30 kW), within 6 nautical miles of the coast. That is why the "senza patente" fleets of Sardinia, Sicily and the Amalfi coast are so large. Still mandatory: safety equipment on board and respect for swimming zones.
