Yacht charter in Catania is an opportunity to enjoy scenic views, to experience the culture of Sicily and to sample local cuisine. The eastern coast of Sicily is famous for the fact that Syracuse is located here - the oldest city in Italy (the birthplace of Archimedes) with beautiful beaches and many attractions that are monuments of the World Heritage Site, as well as the fact that Etna volcano is the largest and most active in Europe near the coast.

Yacht Charter in Catania

When you rent a yacht in Catania , you can visit the wonderful yacht ports of Sicily, which have something to see. This is Cape Orlando, Gela, Messina, Porto Empedocle, Portorosa, Syracuse, Pozzallo and others.

Catania is a large Mediterranean port in Sicily, an ancient Roman city. Catania is the capital of the province of the same name, the city was founded by the Greeks in the 8th century BC. The city was destroyed 6 times by the volcano Etna, but each time it was built from volcanic basalt. Catania has gone through many historical periods when the city passed into the hands of the Greeks, then the Romans, then the Arabs, then the Spaniards. On the territory of the city there are many architectural monuments of the periods of the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

But the main attraction of Catania is the volcano Etna, from visiting which tourists always have the most vivid impressions. Fire-breathing craters are surrounded by ice and snow in winter, and from the top of the mountain a memorable view of the city and the sea coast opens. At the foot of the volcano is the water park "Etnaland", which presents more than 20 water attractions , as well as swimming pools and a relaxation area with entertainment facilities.

In the 18th century, architect Giovanni Batista Vaccarini invented a new architectural style called "Sicilian Baroque", the city was rebuilt from lava and basalt. Vaccarini created a fountain with a statue of a black elephant, located on the Cathedral Square of Catania - the elephant is made of black basalt and is installed in the center of the fountain on a pedestal.

The Cathedral of St. Agatha is located directly opposite the fountain. In Catania, it is also worth seeing the ruins of the Roman Theater , the fortress of Ursino (the former residence of the Aragonese kings) and the Roman Amphitheater of the 2nd century, located near the city center.

A memorable vacation

The beaches of the city are rocky, with a steep entrance to the water, which is associated with the volcanic origin of the territory under the city. Popular sandy beaches - Area and La Playa, during the swimming season are very crowded. There is also a special beach for swimming with pets - Dog Beach Catania, you can immediately buy dog food. To the north of the city there are equipped pebble beaches, with toilets, showers and changing rooms.

In Catania, there is a fairly active nightlife, there are many nightclubs, bars and discos until the morning. Those who enjoy cycling can be advised to rent a bike at one of the city's rental locations and go on a trip through the highlands.

In winter, Etna's surroundings are covered with snow , and skiers from different countries come here, there are also bases in the vicinity of Catania that offer to hire equipment for climbing.

The shopping centers of Catania are Centro Sicilia, Sicilia Outlet Village, and a large number of shopping centers and shops are located on Corso Italia and Via Etnea. The most expensive brands are on Corso Italia: Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and others.

In the restaurants of Catania, you can order Sicilian dishes, among which are predominantly fish, vegetable, and of course, a lot of excellent wine. In local restaurants, Arabic (abundance of spices), Greek and Spanish (cocoa, corn, potatoes and tomatoes) traditions are observed. Pasta alla norm is a culinary symbol of the city, which was invented here. It is worth trying aranchini (balls of rice stuffed with meat) and caponata (stew from eggplant and other vegetables), pecorino siciliano cheese, anchovies with tomato sauce and desserts from a large selection of Sicilian sweets.

All restaurants in Catania cook well, the best establishments can be found on Via Santa Filomena. Japanese dishes are served in the Oxidiana restaurant, Neapolitan cuisine can be sampled in the Saltimbocca da Giancarlo restaurant, and if you need to buy and prepare your own food, we recommend heading to the A'Piscaria Mercato del Pesce market - here you will find fresh seafood, a wide variety of cheeses, olives and fruits.

Here you can visit architectural sights, sign up for an excursion to the largest volcano Etna and taste wonderful Sicilian dishes. To rent a yacht in Catania , use the tools of our website - the system can offer a wide selection of options for any wallet.

riva 56' rivale yacht reveals masterpiece of italian craftsmanship on water

Riva 56′ rivale open yacht.

For a brand synonymous with quality craftsmanship and high performance on water, the Riva 56’ Rivale yacht is another sculptural revelation for ocean-goers that still packs a surprise. Celebrating timeless elegance, its design combines unique styling, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional performance that merges artisan details with innovative features.

all images courtesy of Riva

dynamic, elegant, and sporty exterior design

The Riva 56’ Rivale’s open yacht design expands the iconic Italian brand ’s fleet, embodying dynamism, elegance, and sportiness. Created by Officina Italiana Design and both the Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Engineering Department, this 56-foot masterpiece features large glazed windows, flush portholes, and a sleek aquamarine line that highlights its striking metallic exterior. The use of premium materials – high gloss mahogany, natural teak, stainless steel, and superior leather – ensures every detail is luxurious.

A unique windshield not only protects the cockpit but also completes the aerodynamic profile of the yacht. The cockpit’s main deck lounge offers a spacious sitting area with an L-shaped sofa and teak dining table. This convivial space extends in the front and back to create a seamless flow of elegance and comfort: a large sun pad facing rearwards; and a raised dormeuse in the forward section, shaded by an electro-hydraulically operated bimini top, and framed by a stainless steel and a vintage-inspired warning horn.

high performance on the sea

The bridge is equipped with state-of-the-art control, monitoring, and navigation systems featuring touchscreen displays. Behind the control station, a well-appointed cabin unit includes all guests need with a bar, practical waste collection containers, and storage compartments integrated into the helm seat. From here, the captain controls either the twin 1000hp or 1200hp MAN engines with V-drive propulsion systems. This propels the yacht to cruising speeds of 31 or 34 knots and maximum speeds of 35 or 38 knots — depending on the engine of choice — showcasing excellence in design and performance.

At the stern, the garage houses a Williams 325 tender, protected by a tach in double-shell carbon fiber. A major innovation of the 56’ Rivale is the underwater movement of the swimming platform, with additional steps in the hull providing a convenient stairway for water access.

luxury lounges and cabins below deck

Below deck, guests are treated to an elegant lounge-dinette where mirrored surfaces alternate with varnished mahogany, dark lacquered woods, and dark leather coverings. The interplay of colors and materials is quintessentially Riva, with sofas and ottoman seats upholstered in fabric by Ivano Redaelli, and wall-to-wall carpet by Van Besouw. The gallery, partially hidden by mirrored walls and sliding lacquered surfaces, features abundant storage and a unit with a bar set.

The sleeping quarters include two en-suite cabins, mirroring the luxurious color and material interplay of the lounge. Striking contrasts between white leather headboards and dark leather furnishings create an inviting atmosphere for guests. Soft furnishings by Ivano Redaelli and Van Besouw add to this opulent ambience. A single-bed crew cabin, with separate access from the cockpit, can be replaced by a third guest cabin if desired. The result is a home away from home on the open sea.

Chinese and Philippine ships collide again in disputed waters, and the countries are trading blame

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Chinese and Philippine coast guard ships collided at sea, damaging at least two boats, in an encounter early Monday near a new flashpoint in their increasingly alarming confrontations in the disputed South China Sea.

Both blamed the other for the collision near Sabina Shoal, a disputed atoll in the Spratly Islands, where overlapping claims are also made by Vietnam and Taiwan. There were no reports of injuries.

China’s coast guard accused the Philippines of deliberately crashing one of its ships into a Chinese vessel. Two Philippine coast guard ships entered waters near the shoal, ignored the Chinese coast guard’s warning and intentionally collided with one of China’s boats at 3:24 a.m., a spokesperson said in a statement on the Chinese coast guard’s website.

“The Philippine side is entirely responsible for the collision,” spokesman Gan Yu said. “We warn the Philippine side to immediately stop its infringement and provocation, otherwise it will bear all the consequences arising from that.”

Jonathan Malaya, assistant director-general of the Philippine government’s National Security Council, accused the Chinese coast guard of disinformation for saying that the Philippine coast guard ships rammed its vessels.

Video and photographs, including those taken by journalists from a U.S. TV network who were on board one of the Philippine coast guard ships, showed that the Chinese ships caused the latest collisions in the high seas, Malaya told a news forum in Manila.

The Philippines’ National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea said two of the coast guard’s ships, BRP Bagacay and BRP Cape Engaño, “encountered unlawful and aggressive maneuvers” from Chinese coast guard vessels while en route to Patag and Lawak islands, which are occupied by Filipino forces, in the contested region.

“These dangerous maneuvers resulted in collisions, causing structural damage to both Philippine Coast Guard vessels,” the statement read.

The task force said the collision between BRP Cape Engaño and one of the Chinese ships created a hole on the deck of the Philippine ship with a diameter of about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters).

About 16 minutes later, the other Philippine ship, BRP Bagacay, was rammed twice on its port and starboard sides by a different Chinese vessel, leading to structural damage, according to the task force.

“This is the biggest structural damage we have incurred as a result of the dangerous maneuvers carried out by the Chinese coast guard,” Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine coast guard told the news forum in Manila.

“The (Philippine Coast Guard) stands firm in its responsibility to ensure the safety and security of our maritime domain while addressing any threats to our national interests,” the Philippine task force said.

Gan added China claimed “indisputable sovereignty” over the Spratly Islands, known in Chinese as Nansha Islands, including Sabina Shoal and its adjacent waters. The Chinese name for Sabina Shoal is Xianbin Reef.

In a separate statement, he said the Philippine ship that was turned away from Sabina Shoal entered waters near the disputed Second Thomas Shoal, ignoring the Chinese coast guard’s warnings. “The Chinese coast guard took control measures against the Philippine ship in accordance with law and regulation,” he added.

Sabina Shoal, which lies about 140 kilometers (87 miles) west of the Philippines’ western island province of Palawan, has become a new flashpoint in the territorial disputes between China and the Philippines.

The Philippine coast guard deployed one of its key patrol ships, the BRP Teresa Magbanua, to Sabina in April after Filipino scientists discovered submerged piles of crushed corals in its shallows that sparked suspicions that China may be bracing to build a structure in the atoll. The Chinese coast guard later deployed a ship to Sabina in a new territorial faceoff.

Sabina lies near the Philippine-occupied Second Thomas Shoal, which has been the scene of increasingly alarming confrontations between Chinese and Philippine coast guard ships and accompanying vessels since last year.

China and the Philippines reached an agreement last month to prevent further confrontations when the Philippines transports new batches of sentry forces, along with food and other supplies, to Manila’s territorial outpost in the Second Thomas Shoal, which has been closely guarded by Chinese coast guard, navy and suspected militia ships.

The Philippine navy transported food and personnel to the Second Thomas Shoal a week after the deal was reached and no incident was reported, sparking hope that tensions in the shoal would eventually ease.

“We are of course disappointed again,” Malaya said. “Despite this preliminary understanding, which we hoped was the first page in a new chapter between the Philippines and PRC relations, we have … another incident.”

“PRC” refers to China’s formal name, the People’s Republic of China.

China has been at odds with many other countries in the Asia-Pacific for years over its sweeping maritime claims, including almost all of the South China Sea, a strategic and resource-rich waterway around which Beijing has drawn a 10-dash line on official maps to delineate what it says is its territory.

Beijing is in the midst of a massive military expansion and has become increasingly assertive in pursuing its claims, giving rise to more frequent direct confrontations, primarily with the Philippines, though it is also involved in longtime territorial disputes with Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei.

A 2016 arbitration ruling by a United Nations tribunal invalidated Beijing’s claims in the South China Sea, but China did not participate in the proceedings and rejected the ruling.
