A week in the Aeolian Islands - 6 islands in seven days

Seven days of pure magic in the Aeolian Islands – an unforgettable experience thanks to Nicola We have just finished a week on a sailing boat among the beautiful Aeolian Islands and we cannot find the words to describe how extraordinary this experience was. The credit for this perfect trip goes above all to our skipper, Nicola, an impeccable, experienced and passionate guide, who turned every day into something special. From the first moment on board, Nicola made us feel safe and comfortable. His knowledge of the sea, the islands and the winds is impressive: he took us to hidden coves and dreamy bays, away from the most crowded tourist routes, making us experience the most authentic and wild Aeolian Islands. He was able to read the weather and adapt the itinerary with intelligence and flexibility, always ensuring maximum comfort and beauty. In addition to being an excellent skipper, Nicola is a sunny, hilarious, kind and always helpful person. He was able to create a relaxed and convivial atmosphere on board, bringing the group together naturally and making every moment – from sailing at sunset to aperitifs at anchor – unique and unforgettable. The nights under the stars, the crystal clear water of Panarea, the fumaroles of Vulcano and the fiery sunsets seen from Filicudi deserve a separate chapter... each island gave us different emotions, but all with a common denominator: the feeling of being in excellent hands thanks to Nicola. If you are thinking of a sailing holiday in the Aeolian Islands, do it – and if you can, choose Nicola as your skipper. He is not only an experienced captain, he is a true lover of the sea who will make you experience the islands with new eyes. Thank you very much, Nicola, from Greta and Petter. See you on the next adventure!

Nico is a true sea dog: reliable, safe, adventurous. His great experience brings him to the service of the crew without unnecessary protagonism and he is ready to share his passion for sailing with those who want to learn the rudiments of navigation. The boat is minimal but functional. Highly recommended.

I have been to the Aeolian Islands many times, but Nicola still managed to surprise me by making me discover hidden corners and glimpses that I had never seen before! He is a super competent, passionate and attentive skipper: he knows how to convey love for the sea and always makes you feel safe. An experience that I really recommend to those who want to experience the islands in an authentic and special ♥️ way

Nicola turned out to be an exceptional skipper: competent, prudent and always attentive to the needs of the crew. With great professionalism he guided us to discover the islands, The boat is beautiful, reliable and perfectly equipped, with recent sails, new engine and a comfortable watermaker that made us independent. Super recommended experience!
