Sunsail Sailing Holidays has expanded its popular charter operation into Italy and Sicily, opening new bases for bareboat and skippered charter holidays in Tropea, on the southwest coast of Italy, and Palermo on the northwest coast of Sicily.

Tropea, on the Calabrian coast, is convenient to visit southern Italy, Sicily or the magical Aeolian Islands, only 30 miles away and the new Sunsail base is located in the main marina, just an hour from the international airport. In Northwest Sicily, the capital Palermo offers the cruising grounds of the Aegadian islands, Malta and Tunisia. The Sunsail base is 20 miles from Palermo International Airport and can also be reached by ferry and hydrofoil from Naples.

The new Italian bases join recent base openings in Koh Chang, Thailand; Abacos, Bahamas; Orhaniye, Turkey and a new environmentally-friendly location in the British Virgin Islands.
