Velamaresiracusa di Sebastiano Salerno

Velamaresiracusa invites adventure lovers to discover the Sicilian coast aboard the Perseide, an 11-metre sloop built in 1977. This vintage vessel is distinguished by its rare ferrocement structure, offering extremely comfortable sailing even when the sea is rough. Specialists in small group outings, the team share their expertise of the local flora and fauna on authentic experiences departing from the island of Ortigia.

The sea outings take you to unspoilt sites that are inaccessible by land. Depending on the wind conditions, the route can take you to the bay of Pillirina, famous for its Pellegrina cave, or to the wild Gigante coast. These areas are home to a rich biodiversity of fish and coral species. The seabed also preserves traces of the past, with remains of ancient amphorae and relics from the Second World War.

Velamaresiracusa adopts a strict 'zero plastic' charter on board: fresh water is served by the glass and the crew take advantage of the sailing to collect floating waste, thus preserving the purity of the marine sanctuary. So if respect for the environment is important to you, don't hesitate to choose Velamaresiracusa for your next sailing trip in Syracuse!
