Crewed Catamaran STRONGHYLE
Crewed catamaran luxury across Sicily's Aeolian Islands
About Crewed Catamaran STRONGHYLE
STRONGHYLE is a Catana Bali 5.4 purpose-built for discerning groups seeking Mediterranean elegance without compromise. Her twin-hulled design delivers stability and comfort across ten guests distributed across five cabins, each appointed with teak joinery, ensuite facilities, and soft grey interiors that feel both contemporary and calming.
The yacht's social spaces reward exploration. An expansive foredeck invites sunrise lounging; the flybridge commands panoramic sightlines toward Stromboli with comfortable seating and integrated jacuzzi. The saloon features an innovative motorised aft wall panel that reconfigures the space for formal dining or intimate gatherings, whilst the galley supports the onboard chef's daily operations.
Launched in 2019, STRONGHYLE combines sailing pedigree with auxiliary engine power, enabling seamless passage between anchorages whilst maintaining the efficiency expected of modern catamaran design. Her configuration emphasises relaxation after activity, with quiet cabins and sheltered deck zones balanced against vibrant gathering areas.

The Charter Experience
Your week unfolds under professional crew stewardship. A captain navigates Sicily's coastline and Aeolian approaches with local knowledge; the chef prepares daily menus rooted in regional ingredients and technique; the third crew member attends to logistics and guest comfort. This trio allows you to shed organisational concerns entirely, permitting focus on the unfolding landscape, impromptu swims in turquoise shallows, and unhurried exploration of whitewashed villages perched above volcanic cliffs. Base charter fees include crew provisions and wages, insurance, and laundry, whilst operating costs (fuel, dockage, provisions, beverages, water sports equipment hire) are calculated separately as an advance allowance.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might depart Palermo for the Aeolian archipelago, with days allocated to Favignana's turquoise coves, Levanzo's Mediterranean grottos, and the dramatic volcanic slopes of Stromboli and Panarea. Anchoring permits unhurried swimming and snorkelling; shore excursions to ancient villages, local trattorias, and family-run wineries punctuate quieter days aboard. The crew's familiarity with seasonal anchorages and emerging swell patterns ensures your itinerary adapts to conditions and preference without friction.
