What airport should I fly to in Sicily?
Your trip will de departing from Portorosa Marina, which is located approximately three hours from both Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) airports. You can choose to fly to either on these!
What is the average age, and is there an age restriction?
The average age of our guests is 30; however, we have a range of attendees varying from 20 to the late 30s and beyond.
Please note that the minimum age to join our events is 20 (or at least 20 years old in the year of travel).
We are confident that, regardless of your age, you will have a memorable time on the water!
What travel documents do I need?
We cannot advise you on which documents you will need, as this depends on your nationality and the country you live in.
The VisaHQ website can tell you exactly what you need. Remember to include the countries that you might travel through to get to your final destination as well.
You will need your passport details to check-in online, but we do not require your physical passport to board the yacht.
If you are travelling through the Schengen area and are using your ID card, this is fine as long as you have entered your passport details into your booking profile before departure.
How challenging is the Volcano hike, do I need any specific equipment or clothing?
The volcano hike can be challenging depending on your fitness level. It is essential to wear proper hiking shoes with good grip, as the terrain can be steep and rocky. Without the right footwear and clothing, you may not be permitted to participate in the hike. Make sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and light, breathable clothing, along with a hat for sun protection.
How do I get from the airport to the marina in Sicily?
Portorosa Marina is around a three-hour drive from either Catania (CTA) or Palermo (PMO) airports. Full details on transfers will be provided two weeks before departure. If you’re taking a long flight, we recommend arriving a day early to relax and explore Sicily before heading to the marina.
Please see here for more information.
What time is check-out on the Sicily route?
Your Yacht Week officially ends once you return to the marina on Friday afternoon around 3-4 p.m. (the exact time varies depending on weather conditions), and you will then have to check out and leave the yacht before 8 a.m. on Saturday, the latest.
Most guests will choose to leave the yacht on that afternoon, but you are welcome to stay on board overnight if it suits your travel plans best.
*Please note that skippers' and hosts' responsibilities end Friday afternoon, and they won't be around after that time.
