Top 5 Motor Yachts for Charter in Sicily
Introduction
Sicily is particularly well suited to motor yacht charters.
The island's long coastline, offshore archipelagos and varied cruising grounds reward yachts that can cover distance comfortably, whether the itinerary includes the Aeolian Islands, the Strait of Messina, the north coast or longer passages toward Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
The five yachts below offer very different versions of the experience, from a 66m superyacht with a swimming pool and cinema to a fast Pershing built for high-speed island hopping.
OKTO
Best for: The ultimate luxury superyacht charter in Sicily
OKTO is the clear flagship of this selection.
The 66.4m ISA superyacht cruises Sicily during the Mediterranean summer season and accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins, supported by a crew of up to 16. She was refitted in 2026.
Her amenities are on an entirely different scale from the other yachts here.
A 20ft infinity-edge swimming pool forms the centerpiece of the aft deck and connects visually with the main salon through retractable floor-to-ceiling glass doors. There is also a Jacuzzi, indoor gym, elevator, cinema room and expansive beach-club-style spaces.
The water-toy collection is equally impressive, with two Jet Skis, SeaBob, eFoil, wakeboards, wakesurf equipment, paddleboards, inflatable climbing and sliding structures, diving equipment, dive compressor and beach setup.
For guests who want their Sicily charter to feel like a private floating resort, OKTO is difficult to surpass.
Why choose OKTO: She offers the most complete superyacht experience in the group, with a pool, Jacuzzi, cinema, gym, diving equipment and one of the strongest toy collections available.
YCM FIFTY
Best for: Large groups wanting classic superyacht space and a Jacuzzi
YCM FIFTY combines substantial size with a surprisingly versatile charter setup.
The 50.29m Oceanfast superyacht operates around Naples and Sicily during summer and accommodates up to 12 guests in six ensuite cabins. Her unusual configuration includes three king cabins and three queen cabins, making her particularly attractive for groups of couples. She underwent a refit in 2024.
A Jacuzzi provides a focal point on deck, while Wi-Fi, satellite television and onboard entertainment add comfort during quieter periods.
Water activities include SeaBobs, a waterslide, four paddleboards, waterskis, snorkeling equipment and fishing gear.
She also has an unusually high top speed of 30 knots for a yacht of this size, thanks to waterjet propulsion.
Why choose YCM FIFTY: Six large double cabins, a Jacuzzi, strong water toys and substantial 50m volume make her particularly appealing for larger luxury charter groups.
SOPHIE BLUE
Best for: Families and groups wanting comfort, toys and long-range cruising
SOPHIE BLUE offers an excellent balance between size, amenities and onboard activities.
The 41m CBI Navi motor yacht was refitted in 2024 and accommodates up to 10 guests across five cabins. Her interior was designed by Luca Dini, and the yacht combines generous living spaces with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure.
She is particularly strong for guests who value comfort at anchor.
SOPHIE BLUE has at-anchor stabilizers, a Jacuzzi, alfresco dining areas and an outdoor gym. Her 5,000nm range also makes her capable of much longer cruising programs than most yachts in this selection.
The toy collection is excellent for families and active groups, including SeaBobs, eFoil, Hydroflyer, wakeboard, adult and children's waterskis, SUPs, inflatable kayak, Banana, towing sofa and dedicated children's inflatables and waterslide.
Why choose SOPHIE BLUE: She combines serious cruising capability with a Jacuzzi, stabilizers and one of the best family-friendly watersports selections in the group.
OLGA
Best for: Classic Italian yachting and a Sicily-based itinerary
OLGA has the strongest direct connection to Sicily.
The 30.3m Cantieri di Pisa motor yacht operates in Sicily and Italy and is based around Messina and Milazzo. She accommodates 10 guests across five cabins and completed an extensive refit after a two-year works program.
Her design comes from Pierluigi Spadolini and reflects a classic era of Italian yacht building.
Outdoor spaces include an aft dining table for up to 10 guests, a foredeck sunbathing area and a sundeck with additional alfresco dining.
She is also much more activity-focused than her classic appearance might suggest.
OLGA carries a Yamaha WaveRunner, wakeboard, paddleboards, waterskis, sea scooter and a floating jellyfish-protection pool, along with snorkeling equipment and other inflatables.
Her 20-knot cruising speed also gives her enough performance for practical island hopping.
Why choose OLGA: A true Sicily-based yacht with classic Italian character, five cabins, a recent refit and a strong water-toy selection.
THYKE III
Best for: Fast island hopping and high-performance cruising
THYKE III is the performance specialist of the group.
The 27.5m Pershing 90 operates in Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Italy and the Amalfi Coast. She accommodates up to nine guests in four cabins and underwent a refit in 2024.
Her defining feature is speed.
THYKE III cruises at around 31 knots and can reach approximately 42 knots, making her dramatically faster than the larger displacement superyachts above.
That performance is particularly useful on a Sicily itinerary where guests want to combine several destinations without dedicating large parts of the day to passages.
Accommodation includes a master, VIP, double and twin cabin with Pullman berth, providing useful flexibility for families or groups of friends.
Water toys include SeaBobs, kayak, paddle surf equipment, snorkeling gear and inflatables.
Why choose THYKE III: She is the best yacht here for guests who want Pershing performance and the ability to move quickly between Sicily's cruising destinations.
