Oceanis 51.1 sailing yacht – Sicily

Yacht Overview

When our guests ask us for a modern sailing yacht for Sicily, we often point them to the Oceanis 51.1. In our experience, this model strikes a very appealing balance between comfort, performance and elegant lines. Built in 2020 and offered in the Standard Line, she is a fine choice for a holiday at sea that feels both refined and relaxed. We know that many crews want space without losing the pleasure of easy handling, and this yacht delivers exactly that.

At 15.85 metres in length and 4.88 metres in width, she offers a generous interior and a confident presence on the water. She accommodates 8 guests in 5 cabins, plus 3 additional berths, and there are 5 toilets on board, which makes her particularly practical for larger families or groups of friends. We have noticed that this layout works very well for longer itineraries around Sicily, where comfort at anchor matters just as much as sailing itself.

Actually, the equipment list is carefully chosen for a smooth stay. The self tacking jib, roll main sail and electric winches make manoeuvring easier, while the bow thruster and autopilot add welcome support during harbour approaches and open-water passages. We also appreciate the teak deck, cockpit cushions and chart plotter, which together create a pleasant and well-organised deck area. For daily life on board, the air condition, refrigerator, coffee machine and barbecue are very useful touches. The electric toilet and onboard tender with outboard engine add extra convenience, and the mooring on the first and last day in our marina is a valuable detail that our guests always welcome.

Based on our knowledge, Sicily is one of the best places to enjoy a sailing holiday of this kind. The coastline, the islands, the light and the atmosphere all suit a yacht like this beautifully. We can say with confidence that the Oceanis 51.1 is a smart and stylish choice for guests who want a memorable charter experience in Italy.
