A single day's range

At 20-25 knots, Mondello beach, the Capo Gallo reserve and, for the ambitious, Ustica, Italy’s pioneering marine reserve fit into one day — that is the whole point of the format. Boarding: La Cala, the old harbour in the heart of the historic city, and the neighbouring marinas.

Fuel and safety margin

Fuel burn rides on the throttle: on these waters, a sirocco that loads the air with African sand some days, gulf breezes the rest of the time, and a homeward leg into the wind burns more — keep a third of the tank for the end of the day.
