From the Adriatic to Liguria - Sailing in Italy

Italy is more than good food beach holidays and sunshine. Especially for owners of a recreational boat licence the popular peninsula in the Mediterranean is a true paradise! The 7600 kilometre coastline from Liguria to the Adriatic Sea and the offshore islands form a picturesque panorama that is best viewed from the water. The mild Mediterranean climate and favourable wind conditions make sailing here an experience almost all year round.

A sailing area for every taste

The mostly easy areas are popular with beginners and hobby sailors but also inspire die-hard sailing captains with enchanting bays and beautiful natural scenery. For example plan a trip off the Sicilian coast and marvel at small and large grottoes that are hard to see from land or enjoy the breathtaking view of Europes largest active volcano from a sailing boat. In Tuscany many harbours and marinas also make short tours possible for sailing beginners while off Sardinia it is mainly experienced sailors who get their moneys worth. In this way sailing fans of all abilities and preferences will find their favourite area in the Mediterranean.
