This experience, in a nutshell

Let yourself be overwhelmed by an unusual holiday. The embarkation is scheduled from Lipari to proceed to the visit of Panarea, Stromboli, Salina, Filicudi, Vulcano
Our cruise is recommended for couples and singles, or small groups of friends. It will take place at a slow pace, trying to optimize navigation between the islands and dedicating most of the day to discovering the most beautiful and hidden places of the Aeolian archipelago.

Seven days on board a comfortable sailboat, immersed in the unspoiled beauty of the Aeolian Islands.
Our recipe for a good holiday is: good music, sailing, a diversified cuisine with local products and of course tasting good Sicilian wine, for those who want an authentic experience.
You will be pampered by your Skipper in everything: what to do, where to go and some hints about the history of these wonderful Islands

Leg 1

Lipari (Italy)

Our tour to discover the Aeolian Islands starts from Lipari  , where from 18:00 on Saturday, our guests can embark at the pier 'Eolmare presso Porto Pignataro' After the assignment of the cabins and after the briefing with the Skipper, everyone at the supermarket to stock up! The first moment to share with the other members of the crew, an excellent opportunity to get to know each other. In the evening, dinner in a typical restaurant and walk through the streets of the center of Lipari, enlivened by several outdoor venues with live music.

Leg 2

Panarea

On Sunday morning you cast off your moorings, as soon as you set sail, you feel pervaded by a new sense of freedom that will accompany you for the rest of the week. What better way to start our holiday? After that we will continue to Panarea, the most chic of the seven sisters, about 9 miles of navigation. Once we reach Panarea, we will make a stop at Cala Junco, a nature reserve and a beautiful setting for a relaxing swim. Lunch on board. In the afternoon, if the mistral breeze allows it, you can sail again, perhaps circumnavigating the island, and then stop, now close to sunset, near Dattilo. From here we could witness a breathtaking spectacle: the warm light of the sunset illuminates the islets in front of Panarea (Dattilo, Lisca bianca, Bottaro, Basiluzzo) and its colors mix with the yellow of the sulfur and the dark red of the iron that characterize their rocks, generating an unparalleled light show. And now everyone on the ground to walk through the streets of the town, and then meet all together for an aperitif at  the Sushi Bar. Those who want can spend the night in the most famous disco of the Aeolian Islands,  the Raya, alternatively, we will spend the night in Baia Milazzese, more sheltered and quiet. Night at anchor.

Leg 3

Stromboli

On Monday morning it will be the turn of Basiluzzo, which with its basalts offers a wonderful setting for a swim and for moments of relaxation. Afterwards we will move to Iddu, one of the most active volcanoes in Europe, the volcano of Stromboli.

In the afternoon it will be possible to go ashore to visit the town. At sunset we will set sail to admire the spectacle of the Sciara del fuoco , the side of the island from which it is possible to observe the explosions of the volcano, and then sail at night to Panarea where we will sleep.

Leg 4

Salina

Tuesday will be dedicated to Salina,  the largest island, after Lipari, of the Aeolian archipelago. In the morning we will head towards Pollara, a bay north-west of Salina, characterized by a high coast overlooking the sea. In these evocative places, Troisi chose to shoot numerous scenes of The Postman. In its vicinity it is also possible to admire a splendid natural arch. We will stop here for the rest of the morning and after a swim, we will prepare a great lunch. Refreshed by the post-lunch relaxation, we will move towards Lingua after half an hour of navigation where we will find one of the best granitas of the Aeolian Islands, that of Alfredo. We advise you to choose the combination of figs and mulberries, perhaps accompanied by cream and brioche. Mouth-watering!

Leg 5

Filicudi

On Wednesday morning we will sail to Filicudi,  if we are lucky we will meet a pod of dolphins or why not, some sea turtles, not rare encounters in these parts! We will stop near Capo Graziano to fully enjoy the charm of the island. In the afternoon we will move to  Pecorini a Mare, a very picturesque fishing village. Time for a swim in front of the village and then on land, for a beer by the sea at the Saloon, perhaps nibbling on some homemade specialties! If we're lucky, our arrival could coincide with the stop of some fishing boats. In this case it will be possible to buy some excellent swordfish for dinner on the boat. Alternatively, it is possible to dine in the only restaurant in the village: La Sirena.

Leg 6

Filicudi, Lipari and Vulcano

On Thursday morning we will stay in Filicudi, but we will move near the  Canna, a stack of volcanic origin that rises from the waters several hundred meters from the coast. Here you can stay at anchor and enjoy the wonderful emerald water. It will surely be one of the bathrooms that will stick with you the most! In the early afternoon we will sail until we arrive near the stacks of Lipari. Here, too, the coast is high and overlooking the sea and is a great place to watch the sunset. We will take advantage of the last light of the day to move to Vulcano, in the bay of Ponente. Here we will go down to the São Paulo for a dancing aperitif on the Black Beaches and a walk in the village.

Leg 7

Vulcano and Lipari

On Friday morning we will move to the west side of Vulcano One of the most usual stops is near the Grotta del Cavallo and the pools of Venus. Here the coast is very varied and rich in reddish colors typical of the island of Vulcano. Before returning to port in Lipari we will have time for a last swim at the beach of Vinci. From here we will be able to admire the crater of Vulcano, with its fumaroles and its intense yellow due to the large concentrations of sulphurous rocks. 5:00 p.m., it's time to return to Lipari, before the gas station closes! We will moor again at the pier of Porto Pignataro and spend a last evening together.

Last night on the boat, on Saturday morning disembarkation is scheduled for 9:00 am.

Aeolian Islands: September with the Good I Want You with Skipper Chef Andrea

Andrea è un capitano eccezionale. È competente, prudente, ma sempre con un occhio verso l’equipaggio. Durante la nostra settimana il meteo era molto incerto e lui ha fatto il possibile per farci stare bene e soddisfare le nostre aspettative sempre e comunque mettendo al primo posto la nostra sicurezza. Ci ha fatti sentire al sicuro. Una menzione particolare va alla cucina, è uno chef straordinario, usa materie di primissima qualità e cucina piatti davvero prelibati. Con noi c’era un ragazzo celiaco e Andrea ha avuto un’attenzione speciale per lui preparandogli portate altrettanto straordinarie con grande attenzione e precisione per le contaminazioni. Il tutto avvalorato da un equipaggio straordinario. È certamente una vacanza che resterà nel cuore.
