This experience, in a nutshell

It will be a week of relaxation, well-being, taste and fun.

Pampered by Giacomo (at the helm and occasionally in the kitchen) you will spend 7 days immersed in the sea and nature of the Aeolian Islands, discovering this mythical volcanic archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, which has two islands with as many active volcanoes: Stromboli and Vulcano.

Between a swim, a sunbath and a bit of navigation, you reach the roadstead for an authentic dip in the flavors and aromas of the Aeolian and Sicilian Aeolian Sea.

Another stretch of navigation and you reach another island for the evening aperitif, ready to go ashore to discover the beauties of the new island.

The cruise is designed as a relaxing holiday, suitable for all ages, done in extreme safety. Every evening you go ashore and, generally, there are no very long stretches of navigation. No previous nautical experience is necessary.

NB: Minimum cabin reservation is required. Those traveling alone can request the price for the double cabin for single use by clicking on the "contact the organizer" button

Aeolian Islands: wellness, taste, fun with fabulous cook on board

We spent a very pleasant week in the company of Giacomo, the skipper, and Laura, his partner and queen of delicious first courses! The program included the visit of Lipari and Vulcano Panarea, Stromboli and Salina and what we appreciated most was the ability to reorganize the tour itinerary according to the weather conditions that also included a storm on the island of Lipari and even stronger on the nearby islands. The excursion that we enjoyed the most on the mainland were those to the crater of Vulcano which absolutely deserves the climb and the evening visit of Salina of which we savored the atmosphere that reigns in its narrow streets with elegant shops. The most exciting sea excursions were those to the Faraglioni, the Panarea bubbles and Strombolicchio. A big thank you to Giacomo, fabulous Cicero as well as an expert and prudent skipper and again thanks for the early morning that allowed us to admire the sciara of Stromboli in peace! And thanks to the kind Laura, tireless companion in our snorkels!

I come from the North Sea but I now live the Italian Alps and I’ve been really missing the ocean. So, after much thinking, I decided to treat myself to a little sailing holiday in October. [hidden] (the boat) is cozy yet has every comfort and the hosts really make you feel like you’re being treated to an Italian family gateway. Giacomo and Laura go above and beyond to fit everyone's need and requests. They exceeded my expectations! Great company, great food and insane landscapes! Nothing quite like sleeping under the stars, lulled by the gentle rocking of the boat. Thank you, I hope next time I can bring my family from Scotland!

Honestly, I had underestimated a sailing holiday in Sicily in October but instead it was unforgettable. The Aeolian Islands are even more beautiful in this period, being less crowded. Living them from the sea, guided by two local people, then, becomes a truly authentic experience! Thank you Giacomo and Thank you Laura, we will definitely be back this summer to be able to have even more fun with the longer 🌬️ days
