Cefalu Yacht Charter
The town of Cefalu lies on the north eastern side of the coast of Sicily and is about 70 km from the eastern edge of Palermo and some 180 km to the north western side of Catania. A Cefalu yacht charter is something that luxury yachts often consider as part of their Sicilian itinerary as this town is considered to be one the Mediterranean’s ‘undiscovered jewels’. Cefalu has a beach as well as very old authentic winding medieval streets where you can find delightful restaurants (serving beautiful Southern Sicilian/Italian food) overlooking a rugged and rocky coast. Cefalu features the steady watchful gaze of the Norman-Arab-Byzantine cathedral which is one of the greatest churches of southern Europe in several ways.
Cefalu is set on a rocky terrain that arches all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. Its strategic and the ideal conditions of its harbour make it an important destination for yachting sailors and tourists who are spending their Mediterranean holiday on board their luxury yacht. One of the familiar attractions associated with Cefalu are the ancient villages within the outskirts of the town that trace their origins as far back as the prehistoric times.

The ancient town of Cefalu came into existence on an area where an old settlement of Greek and Sicanian origin once stood. In fact, the term “Cefalu” was derived from a Greek word – Cephaloedion - which is literally translated to mean cape. Save for a few remnants that are now kept at the Mandralisa Meseum, the only surviving archaeological structure that is associated with these old cultures is the Temple of Diana, which lies on the mountainous section of the old town.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
An Amazing Experience: My company is VIP Yacht Charter Group where I offer Glatt Kosher Yacht charters. I transitioned from day to term charters and was looking for a company and broker that I could trust. I reached out to Trina and explained to here that I have a client that was looking to do a week Glatt Kosher charter in the South of France. I knew from our initial call that she was the right person to work with. Trina is extremely knowledgeable in the charter world. The Yacht she recommended was Zeemar a 100ft, 5 stateroom beauty, and there couldn't have been a better yacht and crew for this client. Trina went above and beyond to make sure that everything went perfectly from communicating with the client to Captain and even provisioner. She was always available to talk no matter what time it was. I am so grateful to Trina that this charter went way beyond the clients' expectations.
Thank you to all of the amazing crew and our captain because it was you all who made this trip so special. I'm so thankful to have had this experience, and I hope I will be able to do it again! (…) What an incredible week! The islands, the boat and the food were outstanding, but the crew is what truly made our trip so special! Thank you for spoiling us. Can't wait for the next visit. Cheers. (…) Thank you for a wonderful trip that we all will remember for a long time. OMNIA is a beautiful yacht, but the key to our adventure was the crew! You all did an amazing job that made this the best trip ever! (…) We have been planning a trip to Greece for many years, and now have actually made it! What an amazing way to see a new country! The crew was outstanding - thank you all!
To the Reverie team: We want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for us on this trip. You are the best crew we have ever had on a yacht, hands down. Everything has been flawless. Keith’s food has been healthy, tasty, voluminous, and so varied. The toys and tenders were always ready for us when we needed them, and we loved having 3 Sea-Bobs, 3 efoils and 2 jet skis. Always charged and ready to go, from the moment we woke until we went to bed. Our rooms were cleaned so fast we often wondered if there were fairies who appeared and did it. Our washing was done and returned so quickly we wondered if we dreamed it. Service was perfect (thanks Megan and team!) - always nearby when we needed it, and invisible when we didn’t. We aren’t sure how we will survive at home, and there won’t be a drink, a cold towel and a smile waiting for us. Shane - you found us the best anchorages - exactly where we wanted to be - out of the way, out of the wind, but close to everything. We wanted adventures, and you went out of your way to source e-bikes, which ended up being a highlight. We know it wasn’t easy to find or to get them on and off the boat. The smaller things: remembering everyone’s names; the printed AllTrails maps; taking our kids jet skiing. They have all been noticed and appreciated. We know that it isn’t easy to build a team that can create such an exceptional experience. Congratulations to everyone on board - including those behind the scenes we don’t get to see as much. We would love to come back again next year - only if the crew is the same! Thanks so much!
Hey Trina, the charter was perfect! The crew was very professional but always kind and accommodating. Beautiful boat. The captain had the right hookups wherever we went, so it was an amazing trip all around. Highly recommend this boat to your clients. Magical trip!
Best trip yet! As always, the crew has gone above and beyond. 12 out of 10 across the board. Best trip yet!
Sally, hi, the trip was amazing; we loved LIR. The crew were fantastic, and the chef came up with some fabulous meals. The itinerary was great, and the weather was almost perfect. We loved it so much we would definitely consider a repeat trip, maybe around Sicily, in the future.
