This experience, in a nutshell

ATTENTION: The price indicated is for the cabin with shared bathroom; to reserve the cabin with private bathroom contact me via the message area and you will receive a personalized offer.

It can be me or one of my collaborators on board: Davide P. , Carmelo P. , Lorenzo P. , Stefano P. , Alessandro P.

We will have the opportunity to sail in a flotilla with two other boats.
We are a family-run charter company and we have an excellent knowledge of the Aeolian archipelago given our decades of experience.
We own three sailing boats and generally follow the same itinerary. This allows you to find the right balance between fun and relaxation given the possibility of interacting or not with the crews of other boats.

The holiday we offer will give you the opportunity to experience the islands both inside and out. We will visit the most beautiful bays and let you experience the thrill of sailing. In addition, every evening you will have the opportunity to go ashore and get to know the Aeolian cuisine and culture.

A sailing holiday is not a holiday like any other, especially if spent in the Aeolian Islands .

Here you will find a perfect mix of relaxation, breathtaking landscapes, trekking and Mediterranean cuisine .

UNESCO World Heritage Site and Land of Volcanoes, few archipelagos are like the Aeolian Islands.
Within a few miles there are seven islands each with different characteristics. In a week it will be possible to visit them avoiding long navigation routes.
We will make you take unforgettable baths in the most beautiful bays accessible only from the sea. You will get to know the typical Aeolian cuisine and the uses and customs of its inhabitants.
During the holiday we will make the most of sailing navigation by providing you with the basics.
Those who love the seabed will also have the opportunity to snorkel , while for nature lovers there will be the opportunity to go trekking reaching the volcanic craters of the islands.
ITINERARY:

SATURDAY
Boarding will take place at Marina Poseidon (Milazzo ME) from 18:00 onwards.
After stowing the galley and settling into the cabins, we will do a briefing explaining how to behave on board in order to spend a week that is both fun and safe at the same time. We will spend the first night at the embarkation marina where we will be able to get to know each other better and prepare for the departure of the following day.

SUNDAY
As soon as you wake up, breakfast and off you go! The first destination will be Vulcano where it will be possible to take a bath in the "Hot Waters" or climb to the top of the volcanic crater. Then it will be the turn of Lipari where you can take an unforgettable bath in the crystal clear waters of the "White Beaches". In the afternoon we will aim for the island of Panarea where you can have the coolest aperitif of the Aeolian Islands.

MONDAY'
In front of the island of Panarea rise Basiluzzo , considered the eighth of the islands, and of the stacks of extraordinary beauty such as " Dattilo " and " Lisca Bianca " where we can anchor and take fantastic baths. Continuing east you can admire Stromboli in its perfectly conical shape. You will take a bath in the “ Sciara Vecchia ” and, after admiring the sunset, you will have the opportunity to see an erupting volcano with your own eyes!
Once you reach the anchorage, you can go ashore and, by booking early, you can dine at the Observatory from where you can continue to observe the eruptions.

TUESDAY'
The following morning, as soon as we set sail we will head towards Strombolicchio . We will take an unforgettable bath adrift in a cobalt blue sea. Afterwards, we will sail to Salina passing through Cala Junco (Panarea) , an enchanting cove where the remains of a prehistoric village dating back to the Bronze Age stand a few steps away. Salina is the highest island rich in typically Mediterranean vegetation.
After anchoring you can go ashore and dine in one of the many restaurants on the island.

WEDNESDAY'
On the east side of Salina, close to an impressive white rock wall that was once the internal part of a huge crater, there is an inhabited center called " Pollara ". Not far away, a large stack and a splendid natural arch make this area even more fascinating.
After lunch we will head for Filicudi anchoring in Pecorini Mare where we will have the opportunity to have an aperitif based on music and fresh fish.

THURSDAY'
Circumnavigating the island of Filicudi we will pass by the Grotta del Bue Marino and by a stack called La Canna formed following a volcanic eruption. Being in the open sea, the water here is always clear and crystalline and a nice swim is a must.
In the early afternoon we will sail to Lipari , the largest of the seven islands. We will take a bath at the Faraglioni and then anchor in "Marina Corta" where you will have the opportunity to take a long walk through the streets of the largest town in the archipelago.

FRIDAY'
In the morning we will set sail for Vulcano where we will visit the western side. Here you can admire the " Grotta del Cavallo " and take a bath in the " Pool of Venus ".
In the early afternoon we will leave the islands returning to Milazzo where we will spend the last night moored at the departure marina.

SATURDAY
Disembarkation must be done before 09:00.

I have had the most amazing week. Gabriele is a great skipper and knows the area very well so we have been to some absolutely beautiful places. On top of that he is an amazingly friendly and easygoing person. The boat is in good condition and a good size for about 8 people to still have enough space to move around. And the Islands are breathtakingly beautiful. I could not have been more relaxed and happy throughout my trip. Would absolutely recommend booking this experience, it is one of the best things I have done in my life.

We had the pleasure of traveling with Alessandro. Overall a great experience despite the unfavorable weather. Alessandro and his father did everything to accommodate the crossing - by offering an alternative program, certainly less rich than initially planned, but very good, with good advice/recommendations. For example, they postponed the date of return to Milazzo to allow us to catch up on part of the program and visit Vulcano. Alessandro was also very accommodating on gravel outings and always attentive in case of problems. However, I put 3 instead of 5 because I find the 1,200 euro starter pack absolutely SCANDALOUS - this one includes nothing more than sheets and towels. Having done other sailing cruises on Sailsquare, it was a first, and what a (very) bad surprise! It would have been better to be very clear from the start, or even to add this 1,200 euros to the initial price...

Our skipper was not Gabriele but his younger brother, who was of a rare sweetness. The boat is very well maintained and the towels and sheets, perfect. The organization of the tour was painstaking and elastic, and the skipper Alessandro always ready to satisfy our requests! We were very lucky with the weather and with the company. An immediately close-knit and united group was created that was ready to face everything, from the great culinary days to the still stranded. Although I am not a lover of the sea I leave this week with great sadness, and I would be ready to set sail again, with the brave Alessandro to guide us and the rest of the group able to cope with everything! Thank you for this experience :-)

I give 1 star because it doesn't give me the option to give 0... at the last minute Gabriele told us that he would not be the skipper and trimmed us a 70-year-old bifolco who had no idea how to make a group, zero communication, did not know basic things of the Aeolian Islands (fortunately - or his misfortune - I am from the area and I understood very well that he just wanted to avoid certain places for laziness) and the winds (or at least he did not care to warn us so much that the first day he made us have lunch with very rough seas and some guys in the group felt sick). Not to mention that he hasn't washed for the whole week... also it is not at all true that we travel all together, announcement fuffa to entice us: we saw the crew of only one of the 2 boats one evening because I complained about this aspect so I felt even more teased considering that on this occasion I realized the TOTAL differences: our old boat, them in luxury AT THE SAME PRICE. Shame
