This experience, in a nutshell

We are Sergio and Carmen, true islanders, and we are waiting for you on board a comfortable 16-meter sailboat for a fantastic cruise to discover the most fascinating places of the Aeolian Islands.


Every day we will reach a different island with overnight stays and dinners under the stars delighting you with our typical Aeolian dishes in the beautiful bays.


We will swim in the warm waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and on board the tender you can make excursions between the cliffs and the typical beaches that can only be reached by sea.


In the evening you can visit the islands, each with its own history, characteristics, customs and traditions, take a walk through the characteristic alleys, go shopping and have fun in the nightclubs.

Leg 1

Day 1

Check-in is scheduled from 19:30 on the island of Vulcano, the skipper and the sailor will be waiting for you at the Pontile Marina di Vulcanello in Vulcanello.


Once seated on board and settled into the cabins, the skipper will give a short briefing about life on board.


The first dinner (at the expense of the guests) is scheduled on land in a typical Aeolian restaurant: the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and toast to the beginning of a wonderful adventure!

Leg 2

Day 2

After a good breakfast, your adventure in the Aeolian Archipelago will begin! For the most enthusiasts it will be possible to try your hand at climbing up to the crater of Vulcano or, alternatively, you can relax with mud and bathe in the sulphurous fumaroles.


In the middle of the morning, you will cast off your moorings, heading towards the enchanting bay of the Pumice Quarry with its crystal clear seabed and crystal clear water. A spectacular setting in which the ruins of the old quarry blend harmoniously with the pumice stone wall covered with vegetation. Cool off in the water and relax with a natural scrub with pumice powder or have fun looking for obsidian gemstones.


After lunch, you will reach the stacks of Lipari where you can take a bath. In the late afternoon you can get off at Lipari and visit the island.

Leg 3

Day 3

You will weigh anchor towards Filicudi in the morning, where you will make a swim stop at Capo Graziano. In the afternoon you will moor in Pecorini, being able to go ashore and visit the island. Don't miss the opportunity to try the typical dishes of the island prepared by Piero (street food) in Belvedere, accompanied by a sunset and a breathtaking starry sky.

Leg 4

Day 4

You will spend the morning in Filicudi, visiting the famous Grotta del Bue Marino, famous for its splendid play of light and the particular sounds of the sea that will recall the bellowing of an ox.


Enjoy a refreshing swim before resuming navigation in the direction of Pollara, a characteristic town on the island of Salina. Pollara is characterized by the particular conformation of the steep walls, overhanging the crater of a now inactive volcano. This beautiful scenery was also the backdrop for the film "Il Postino" by Massimo Troisi.


After lunch, you will sail towards Santa Marina di Salina. Once ashore, you can visit the island, discovering characteristic houses and shops. In the evening it will be possible to enjoy one of the best granitas and bread seasoned by the famous Alfredo a Lingua.

Leg 5

In the morning, you will weigh anchor and head for the island of Panarea, enjoying a beautiful sail.


You will make a stop in the famous bay of Cala Junco for a refreshing swim, a snorkeling session and visit the prehistoric village. In the late afternoon it will resume navigation, approaching the town of Panarea.

You can go ashore and visit the island and have an aperitif at Raya.

Leg 6

Day 6

Panarea will greet you with a spectacular sunrise! You will move to Lisca Bianca, the rock of Panarea characterized by sulphurous fumaroles, for a morning bath. After lunch, you will head to Stromboli, sailing to the slopes of the volcano, from where you will admire its eruptions.


In the evening it will be possible to go ashore and, on request, visit the island with an excursion that will take you to admire the continuous eruptions of Stromboli up close as well as to enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the archipelago.

Leg 7

Day 7

After breakfast you will head for Vulcano, stopping for a swim stop in Zimmari (Panarea). You will reach the bay of Valle Muria, now named after a hermit from Liparoto, Attila who until 2024 lived for about 25 years in a small beach house built by him. It can only be reached by boat and it is possible to visit it.


In the late afternoon you will resume the return route to Vulcano. You will have an aperitif at sunset in Baia Negra with live music and in the evening you will enjoy a dinner on land. Don't miss the visit of the island and the tasty ice cream at Remiggio.

Conquering the Aeolian Islands - Cook on board

Beautiful experience. I started with a bit of anxiety due to the fact that I had to share small spaces with unknown people for a not exactly short period of time, but above all for having been my first time on a sailing boat. Despite everything, however, I did not lose heart and thanks to the great experience of the skipper Sergio (a real sea dog) and his partner I was able to appreciate the fantastic sensations that the sea can give. The only regret was that I had to end this magnificent experience, against all my will, knowing that I had a new place in my heart!

Sergio is really smart! He knows his stuff and his cuisine is unforgettable. Even if the sea is not really my environment and I suffer a lot from the heat, and how hot, I do not rule out the possibility of returning. Thank you

WONDERFUL WEEK. SERGIO AND CARMEN WERE TRULY EXCEPTIONAL. THEIR PROFESSIONALISM WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS HOLIDAY. ATTENTIVE, PRECISE AND SCRUPULOUS WITH THE WHOLE CREW. THE BOAT COZY AND WELL MAINTAINED. YOU DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE HOLIDAY WITH THEM. SHE IS SUNNY AND VERY EMPATHETIC. HE IS SCHOVO AND SOMETIMES A LITTLE STRICT... BUT I WOULD SAY SIMPLY PRACTICAL. THANK YOU AGAIN BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL CERTAINLY REPEAT.
