Castellammare del Golfo

Perched between the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea and the rugged slopes of Monte Inici, lies the town of Castellammare del Golfo, which offers an authentic Sicilian experience for yacht charterers. A charming harbour town, whose name means “Sea Fortress on the Gulf,” Castellammare del Golfo holds a rather rich maritime history which is reflected in its dramatic waterfront castle and bustling Cala Marina promenade lined with colourful fishing boats, lively cafés, and seafood restaurants. The town’s picturesque shoreline is home to a mix of golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves, which are perfect for anchoring in privacy or diving into turquoise waters from the decks of your charter yacht. Just a short cruise away lies the Zingaro Nature Reserve, which offers kilometres of unspoiled natural beauty, scenic hiking trails, and diverse wildlife, while the nearby village of Scopello captivates all with its rustic stone buildings and panoramic views. Known for its array of Sicilian specialities, from swordfish couscous and ricotta-stuffed cannoli to crisp white wines from the surrounding hills, Castellammare del Golfo is also the ideal place to become more acquainted with the local cuisine. Centrally located between Palermo and Trapani, Castellammare del Golfo serves as an ideal base for exploring Sicily’s northern coast, the Egadi Islands, or venturing further toward the Aeolian archipelago.
When to go
May to October
High season
July to August


The optimal period for chartering a yacht to Castellammare del Golfo is from May to June and September to October, when the weather is warm, balmy but not too hot, and the area is less crowded. July and August are peak tourist months, leading to busier marinas and larger crowds on the beaches. We recommend planning your yacht charter outside these months so you can experience the full charm of the town and its surroundings.
