​

From a friendship of over 40 years between Ernesto and Diego, a great sailor, the idea of combining a holiday on a boat with a passion for the sport of sailing was born.

Together we have organized holidays for friends in Sicily, Croatia, Greece, Caribbean, Central America, Polynesia and basic sailing courses.

Of all the areas we have sailed, Sicily has always remained in our hearts, an island where you can find a fantastic sea and a land rich in Nature, History and Culture

Here in the distant 2003 the idea of organizing “holidays” on the island began to take shape, using the boat as a means of travel, with a starting point in Marsala.

We sail, go ashore, and we organize guided tours with specialized local staff to the most significant sites in the area

You may ask, but why Marsala?

Well, the Trapani-Marsala area fully satisfies these needs, thanks to its proximity to the Egadi archipelago (one of the largest marine parks in the Mediterranean), the Aeolian archipelago, Ustica, Pantelleria and the Pelagie. Not to mention the cities of Trapani and Marsala themselves with their historic salt pans and cellars; easily reachable places such as Erice, Castellammare del Golfo, Palermo, Monreale, Cefalù; of naturalistic parks such as the Zingaro Reserve and the archaeological sites of Selinunte, Segesta and the Island of Mozia (M othia).

Thus was born, VelaNaturaCultura

Three good reasons to come and visit Sicily

- Three, perfect number

- Three, Medusa's legs

- Three, the tips of the island

- Three, the activities we offer as Vela

o Sailing

o Experience the sea (Freediving & Sailing)

o KiteSurfing

The project is not a boat holiday, but rather a holiday to discover the beauties and delicacies of the island

The project also wants to bring people closer to the sport of Sailing. During the stay on the boat, hints of sailing will be given and everyone is invited to be active and collaborative during all navigation maneuvers. This also helps in a "group work" formation. There are no "passengers" on a sailboat. Each person on board becomes, regardless of their experience, a "crew member".

It is possible to take the Apnea license with Nicola, Apnea Academy instructor, try the experience of KiteSurfing with Silena and Riccardo at the Stagnone (Marsala), and also navigation lessons with our highly experienced skippers and AICS sailing instructors. 1st level

The main navigation routes 

- Archipelago of the Egadi Islands (Favignana, Marettimo, Levanzo), 

- San Vito lo Capo (Tonnara del Cofano, Scopello, Castellamare del Golfo)

- Aeolian Islands (only for stays longer than 2 weeks) 

The stay will also be graced by the culture of the archaeological, landscape and gastronomic sites of the island

It offers the opportunity to participate in on-board activities. from driving the sailboat / motor up to mooring in maximum safety

Our captains, expert conductors of offshore sailing boats, linked by the passion for sailing for decades, will make you sail on the routes of bays from unforgettable depths
