We stayed for 2 days at the Circolo Nautico NIC for two days. We found them very accommodating, we rented a car to go sightseeing for a day and we were able to park the car at the premises at no additional charge. The price for a 14-foot boat was 55 euros per night.
SY ANDROS was built in the yard of NIC Catania, completing a circumnavigation here in July 2015. I would highly recommend this yacht club as a base for visiting the surrounding area of Catania, I didn’t find it far to walk into the centre of Catania, and there are many amenities close to hand. The NIC has berths available, reasonable all-inclusive pricing, facilities and helpful staff.
There are 2 chandleries in Catania 1 is in the via Dusmet, about 10 minutes of walk from Yachtclub Circulo and about 3 min of walk from the harbour main entrance, I found them very helpful and friendly and good prices. The other is in the harbour, at the most westerly part. Also here friendly and helpful people. 1= Massimo Comis 2= Nautica Clem
