Sailing through Bel Paese: Beautiful Destinations

Tuscan Coast: Peaceful islands with untouched nature, deep blue waters and many harbors. A real cultural and architectural delight in the Mediterranean. Largely undiscovered as a sailing area, Tuscany offers archipelago sailing, with seaside towns, golden sandy beaches and wonderful sailing breezes. Corsica is also within sailing distance.

Sicily: Great sailing destination with many picturesque villages and sandy beaches. Europe's most historically cosmopolitan region, Sicily is full of exceptional culture, great food and charming island escapes. Even you have a chance to discover active volcanos.

Amalfi: The only way to improve the Amalfi experience is to do it by sailing. Escape the crowds and have the 'best view in the house' from the back of your very own private yacht.

Sardinia: Many secluded coves, beautiful beaches and dramatic geography make Sardinia a popular sailing region in Italy. The Costa Smeralda - Emerald Coast is a stunning location with golden sandy beaches and national parks.

Weather and Winds

The general sailing season in Italy lasts from the April to the end of October/November. Peak months include July and August, although the temperatures are high then and there can be periods without wind. Italy has typical Mediterranean climate along the coastline and there are many long summer days with lots of sunshine. The Italian coastal regions have mild winters and hot, dry summers. The length and intensity of the summer months increases the further south on the coastline you are.

Sea temperatures in Italy are generally pleasant enough for swimming from the end of May until October. The weather conditions depend on the region you are sailing to, as some parts tend to have their own distinct climate and different winds.

Scirocco, Libeccio, Maestrale and last but definitely not least Bora are the prevailing winds of Italian

Italian weather is very diverse and can be divided into several sailing regions. The regions are based mainly on geography and each of them has its own prevailing winds. The Tramontana winter wind blows in the north of Italy, descending from the Alps. This wind is strongest before sunrise.

The Scirocco wind blows in the south and brings humid weather in summer, as well as red sand from the Sahara. The Libeccio affects Sardinia and the Tuscan coast, blowing from the south-west, and the Maestrale wind comes from the north-west and blows on the west coast of Sardinia. Northern Adriatic is affected by the rather strong Bora. The peak of the sailing season, July and August, can be a bit windless, so be prepared for that if going sailing in Italy during that period.

Late season (October-November) temperatures are still very mild, an average of 25°C during the day and down to 18°C at night, with moderate precipitation.

Winter temperatures are mild, however rain and stormy weather is common and winds can be strong.
