This experience, in a nutshell

A fantastic opportunity and a great unforgettable adventure in nature await you on a comfortable boat of over 15 meters, equipped with 5 cozy double cabins. We will sail stopping in the most enchanting bays of the Aeolian Islands, to enjoy the wonderful Mediterranean sea.

During the week there will be a Certified Mountain Guide on board who will take you to the top of the volcanoes including Stromboli. You will be able to see the explosions at night... a very suggestive experience!

We will sail stopping in the most enchanting bays of the Aeolian Islands, to enjoy the wonderful Mediterranean sea. The Aeolian Islands already carry in their name all the charm of the mythology that characterizes them: they are the islands of Aeolus, the Lord of the Winds. Traveling by sailboat moved by the wind will make us fully experience the magic, nature and history of these lands. We will discover, along beautiful paths accompanied by a guide, the volcanoes , the islands of lava origin and their fantastic bays.

Amazing sailing trip with Alberto, Francesca and Pascoale throughout the Eolian Islands! It was our very first - and unforgettable - experience! We were able to visit all islands we planned, with great food prepared by Francesca and great sailing from Alberto and Pascoale. We had also the opportunity to practise a little bit of sailing which was amazing for us! We will definitely repeat that!

Beautiful holiday, well organized. Alberto was very good both in making us know and appreciate the peculiarities of the Gulf of Trieste and in managing the boat in conditions of sustained wind, transmitting a continuous sense of security and demonstrating an enviable competence and mastery of the sailboat. My 17 year old daughter and I relaxed and enjoyed the holiday using and appreciating the onboard equipment (tender and hammock). A special thanks also to Federica for the valuable assistance provided to Alberto, for having pampered and spoiled us and also for the not negligible culinary skills demonstrated: unforgettable the fantastic meatballs. Goodbye to both.
