SIKELIA

Built by Catana in 2020, SIKELIA is a 16.80m (55ft) sailing catamaran — a hull configuration that changes the nature of the week rather than simply the look of it. Wide beam, shallow draught, minimal heel: the kind of yacht that slips into a Sicilian cove other boats read from a distance, and holds steady enough at anchor that lunch on deck stays exactly where you put it. Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests, comprising an owner's cabin and three cabins each with a double bed. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Her cruising ground runs from the Bay of Naples down through the Aeolians and around Sicily — an itinerary that rewards a catamaran's ability to anchor close in and move on early. A crew of three looks after the sailing, the galley and the day-to-day rhythm on board, which on a yacht of this size means genuinely attentive service without the formality of a larger programme. A straightforward proposition, and a persuasive one: real sailing, generous deck space, and the freedom to spend the day where the water is clearest.
