Boat charter in Italy · Dufour Catamaran 48 in Sicily / Palermo / La Cala (Porto Palermo) — “Oblivion Planet” — (2023)

From La Cala in Palermo, Oblivion Planet opens a week of bareboat cruising across Sicily's Tyrrhenian coast and beyond. This 2023 Dufour 48 catamaran sleeps 14 guests across 6 cabins and 5 bathrooms, making it a natural choice for groups, families, or friends seeking shared adventure without feeling crowded. The dual-hull design delivers what matters most afloat: genuine stability when anchored in the open, a shallow 1.30-meter draft that lets you reach secluded bays and beaches monohulls must skip, and the steady platform needed for 14 people to move freely without constant adjustment. Below decks, the cabin layout separates guests into private sleeping quarters while the saloon keeps everyone connected during downtime. Topside, you have two distinct living worlds. The protected cockpit puts helm stations within arm's reach of the galley and companionway, while the trampoline netting between the hulls and the foredeck offer unobstructed views and direct sun exposure—the particular luxury of catamarans that monohulls simply cannot match. Twin Yammer engines cruise at 9 knots with modern efficiency, and the furling sails add options for those who want to feel wind in the rigging. A week based in Palermo reaches the dramatic Aeolian Islands, the Egadi group, and countless unnamed anchorages tucked into limestone valleys. Oblivion Planet handles all of it with the steadiness and space that turns a charter into something rare: a floating home for everyone aboard.
