This experience, in a nutshell

The week on the Aeolian Islands begins in the charming town of PortoROSA (Furnari-Messina) . The port, inside a tourist village, is located in a strategic position, and can be easily reached by car, taking the A20 motorway, but also from the airports of Palermo and Catania through comfortable shuttle buses.
Geographically, it is also among the places closest to the Aeolian Islands, so you can reach the archipelago in about three hours. Check-in on Saturday generally takes place between 15/16.
Once you have purchased the galley (market in the same village) and of course you have boarded the crew members, you leave to reach the southern edge of the island of Vulcano (Località Gelso).
Restorative bath and then transfer for the evening to the bay or west port. From here it is possible to make a night visit to the inhabited center of the island.

The next day bow towards the island of Panarea . This island that needs no introduction is dotted with a small archipelago of islets where you can spend the whole day pleasantly. In the evening you cannot miss the exploration of the tiny town famous for its intense nightlife. Unforgettable night moored in the Milazzese bay. Monday is the turn of the island of Stromboli where, the most daring will be able to make the ascent to the crater (excursion that requires an authorized guide to be booked on site) and the most romantic to watch the breathtaking sunset from the terrace of the tiny hamlet of Ginostra .


On Tuesday morning we leave, bow on Salina with an intermediate stop for swimming north of Panarea (the island is on the route to Salina halfway). Salina is correctly defined as the green island and for trekking enthusiasts after a climb of medium difficulty, among unexpected woods, lasting about 2 hours, you reach "Fossa delle Felci" the highest peak of the entire archipelago (968m.). From here you can enjoy the 360 ° view of the entire archipelago. Unforgettable panorama! The more enjoyable ones will instead be distracted with the famous Alfredo granitas, in the locality of Lingua, otherwise visit one of the many local wineries producing the famous Malvasia .


Wednesday before leaving Salina, swim stop in the famous Pollara bay, (one of the sets where they shot the film "Il Postino") then set off on Filicudi to spend the night in the tiny Pecorini a Mare airport. On Thursday after an excursion by tender inside the "Bue Marino" cave and a passage next to the "Canna" (places on the island that should not be deserted) we go to Lipari , the largest island of the archipelago. Before reaching the port to visit the town, you can admire the west coast of the island and in particular " Valle Muria ", wonderful for the colors of the coves, the Faraglioni and the mouths of Vulcano .

Friday is the day of the return but, before returning to the port of origin, we will go to the west coast of the island of Vulcano to visit the "Grotta del Cavallo" and other bays totally made up of lava.

Saturday is the day of check out between 9/10.


This is to briefly summarize the week:
A week on a sailing boat equipped with every comfort, six islands in seven days, dedicated to relaxation.

Sea and any internal excursions (visit to the crater of Stromboli and Fossa delle Felci in Salina).

Nights at anchor to enjoy the stars but also among the islands' nightlife.

Over thirty years of experience and the sympathy of a skipper / musician will accompany you on this wonderful journey.

The sailing trip with Nicola was an experience that enriched me a lot, unique emotions and sensations. The navigation, the wind, the sun and the sea created a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I recommend everyone to try this experience at least once in their life: it is an opportunity to discover the beauty of the sea, the Aeolian Islands and the feeling of freedom. Thanks to all the crew, who made all this possible.

Nicola is an excellent connoisseur of the Aeolian Islands. With his experience, he always puts the safety of the crew first, adapting the tour of the islands to the weather conditions. The experience was truly complete, alternating navigation with land visits where Nicola always advised on the various possibilities. The boat is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2 feet (12.8m) from the late 90s, kept tidy with various updates and options such as electric toilets. With full crew, 8 people, it suffers a little from confined spaces but all in the canons of a sailing holiday. The descriptive sheet of the boat faithfully reflects reality. Excellent experience of having sailed with the use of the Geannaker, a sail that also takes advantage of light winds, a nice surprise not being commonly used on charter boats, thank you!

I had an unforgettable sailing holiday thanks to our skipper! Always professional, helpful and attentive to everyone's needs, he made us feel safe at all times. He was able to combine competence and sympathy, making navigation relaxing and pleasant. He took us to wonderful bays, told us curiosities and made us experience the sea in an authentic way. The Aeolian Islands are a beautiful experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to discover sailing with the guidance of a reliable and passionate skipper. Thank you Nicola!!

Top experience! Nicola, the skipper, is nice and super reliable, he took us to magnificent places, he was understanding to put up with us all, always available even with the kitchen, but never intrusive, and proposed an itinerary based on the weather that allowed us to see 6 islands, and allowing those who wanted to disembark on land and take turns in the village, or stay on the boat for those who, like me, prefer to enjoy the beauty of the roadstead. Very beautiful and spacious boat, as much as a sailboat can be, equipped with many small modernity and comforts. Even the group that was created with the other participants was beautiful and cohesive, leaving everyone their own freedoms. The journey to reach the Aeolian Islands and to return, starting from Livorno, was not the easiest and most direct, but it was really worth it, so don't be discouraged but leave and choose Nicola, a man of the sea and experience, and you will feel "safe". What to add if not one I hope "see you soon!" Thank you Nicola and your [hidden]!
