Ready to get started? Build your sailing holiday
Set just north of Milazzo, Marina Poseidon offers a sheltered base on Sicily’s northeastern coast. The marina sits behind a protective breakwater, with the sea stretching towards the Aeolian Islands and the historic Castello di Milazzo overlooking the surrounding coastline. Milazzo itself is close enough to reach easily for restaurants, cafés and provisions, while the marina has a quieter feel away from the busier parts of town. This combination makes it a convenient starting point for a sailing holiday, particularly for guests keen to explore the volcanic islands and coastline of northern Sicily.
The main attraction of starting from Marina Poseidon is its position close to the Aeolian Islands. Vulcano and Lipari make natural first stops, with Salina, Panarea and Stromboli opening up further options as you sail east. Each island has its own character, from volcanic landscapes and thermal waters to picturesque villages, secluded swimming spots and lively waterfront restaurants. With a week available, you can create a varied route around several islands while still allowing time to stop and enjoy the anchorages along the way. The north coast of Sicily also offers opportunities for shorter coastal sailing before or after your island itinerary.
Marina Poseidon has the essentials needed before setting off, including water and electricity, sanitary facilities, fuel and 24-hour assistance. Its location close to Milazzo is particularly useful for holidaymakers, as the town provides a choice of restaurants, cafés, shops and provisions without requiring a long journey from the boat. The marina's fuel station is also convenient for topping up before heading out into the Tyrrhenian Sea. With a sheltered setting and straightforward access to the town, it offers a practical base for getting settled before beginning your Aeolian sailing adventure.
