This experience, in a nutshell

2 boats: a monohull and a catamaran that will sail together in a unique and unforgettable experience!

Are you curious to experience it too?

Come with us to discover the Aeolian Islands!


We will give you the opportunity to visit all the islands of the beautiful archipelago. One week is not enough to enjoy a cruise to the Aeolian Islands in complete tranquility, which is why we offer an 11-day experience!


We will set sail from Capo D'Orlando and sail under full sail among the thousand inlets of the islets that we will meet in the archipelago: Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, within wonderful marine oases.

We will be able to savor the beauty of the solitary sun-kissed islands, dive into turquoise waters and enjoy the days in the cheerful company of new friends, up to aperitifs at sunset and dinners in the marinas or under the stars, before falling asleep in the roadstead in the moonlight in one of the many protected bays.


Are you one of us??

We are waiting for you to discover all this and much more!

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Capo d'Orlando.

Check-in: 5:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Capo d'Orlando.

Check-out: 8:00 AM

Leg 1

VOLCANO

It is the first island we will meet when arriving from Capo D'Orlando. As we approach its shores, we will be shocked by its beauty and the acrid smell of sulfur, which completely fills the air surrounding the island. Today its volcanic activity is supported only by the numerous fumaroles that are located near the Gran Cratere. We will try to take a nice walk on the top of the volcano to admire a breathtaking view of the islands.

Leg 2

LIPARI

The island is the largest and most populated of the archipelago. The ancients called it Maligunis for its mild climate, renowned for the variety of landscapes due to the geological complexity of the territory. It is very famous for pumice stone. Over the millennia it has been shaped by 12 volcanoes, making it extraordinary. If we make it, we will take a scooter ride around the island, to discover all its most evocative corners.

Leg 3

SALINA

It is the second largest island, after Lipari, and is famous for the excellent Malvasia (we will try not to drink too much ;)) and for its lush vegetation, a feature that has made several directors fall in love with it who have chosen it as a location for the filming of famous films.

Leg 4

PANAREA

With its four square kilometers, it is one of the smallest in the archipelago. It is the ideal landing place for a splendid walk among hibiscus, caper plants and bougainvillea, with a view of the splendid islets, to the east, which frame the scene. We will also go for a beautiful swim in Lisca Bianca, famous for its submerged fumaroles. The island has been noted over the years, also for being the refuge of well-known jet-set personalities worldwide. There are archaeological sites in the interior of the island

Leg 5

STROMBOLI

She is the sister of Vulcan, with whom she shares for her 'active volcanism' and for the prerogative of being a micro world. The island is a special destination for those seeking direct contact with nature. For those who wish, you can register to participate in a guided ascent to the crater of the volcano. If you want you can also see the sciara di fuoco from the sea, clearly going to the northern part of the island, with a small night navigation. There will also be the opportunity to take a beautiful walk to the observatory, a strategic point. Stromboli is certainly one of a kind.

Leg 6

FILICUDI

Filicudi is perfect for nature lovers! Your senses will seem to be amplified out of proportion, because the absence of the noise of the city will allow you to fully enjoy the sounds of nature, everywhere around you you will smell the sea and the Mediterranean scrub. Needless to say, the sea of Filicudi is particularly beautiful and wild, clear and uncontaminated. Full of coves and bays easily accessible by boat. Filicudi is not just an island for sea lovers! Even those who love the mountains and long walks will be able to enjoy the island to the fullest. A classic of the filicudara summer is to participate in the evening aperitif at the Saloon, a legendary place run for decades by Uncle Nino by the sea in Pecorini.

Leg 7

ALICUDI

The island of Alicudi is the westernmost of the Aeolian Islands. There are no driveways on the island and tourist infrastructure is practically absent.

The island of Alicudi is a small paradise that impresses with its wild and natural soul. The only means of transport are boats for access by sea and mules to transport goods along the mule tracks. Alicudi has beautiful jagged coastlines and several points where you can snorkel, discovering the magnificent marine flora.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Wonderful places, unique islands, each one with different characteristics. The boat was really nice and big, with some malfunctions but nothing compromising. Too bad I didn't take advantage of every day to visit coves, the last day we were in Capo d'Orlando to avoid the queue at the refueling, I understand the needs but ... The only flaw is the feeling that a tour was planned but without being interested in the opportunities of the area, you get off and you don't know what to see or how to move, you spend the night in Lipari and the next evening there is the feast of the Patron that you miss ... Navigation yes but organization no. Competent skipper who always made me feel safe while sailing, I did not like the requests from the galley and the lack of knowledge about extra navigation information. The holiday was described as a flotilla but a separation between the two boats is deliberately maintained, which did not create problems for me but it is only for fairness.

I would have liked more information and indications on places to visit and more interaction with the catamaran, since it was a flotilla holiday. Thanks to Gabriele, an experienced skipper, I have always felt safe even in the face of the unexpected. Seeing the Aeolian Islands like this, I was not enthusiastic but I was lucky to have experienced, collaborative and nice people on the boat!

Wonderful experience and above expectations! The skipper Fabrizio, in addition to being very experienced, perfectly interpreted the group's wishes by taking us every day to coves with spectacular water and different but intact and wild locations (including a natural park where everyone left their hearts), and alternating in a balanced way the much-loved roadsteads with stops in the ports, in which there was no lack of chore characteristics. We ate very well because in the lucky group there were very good chefs who prepared pasta, flatbread, fish and other delicacies every day! The boat was comfortable and organized! An experience for which I would leave today and that I recommend to all lovers of the sea experienced on a boat!
