This experience, in a nutshell

This is an exclusive route different from the usual classic rides, an itinerant cruise on a super comfortable sailboat of 16.5 meters exclusive for only 6 guests with hostess/cook on board.

So all meals of the day are included with great local food prepared and served, fresh cocktails and barbecue at sunset. This is already a holiday!

We inform you that we prefer the roadstead to the port!

So mostly every day and night following embarkation they will be in bays at anchor.

The Route: CATANIA, TAORMINA, STRAIT OF MESSINA, TROPEA, STROMBOLI, PANAREA, VULCANO.

It will be a dynamic cruise with more navigation than usual, about 190 nm. However, it will be possible to go ashore as many times as you want for excursions, tourism and shopping with our comfortable 3-meter dinghy accompanied by the skipper.

Our "starter pack" is for all the services included that make the difference to the relaxation and fun of a carefree holiday on board with professionals. See FAQ for more details.

The professionalism and hospitality of Marco and Vale made this experience unique and exciting! A duo that led me among the most evocative views of the Aeolian Islands, allowing me to admire the explosive activity of Stromboli and, after a pleasant night navigation, to wake up in the roadstead to the most paradisiacal bays of Salina and Lipari. The trip was entirely dedicated to relaxation and "slow life", being the rhythms managed in a relaxed way in accordance with the needs of the crew and, of course, meteorological conditions. A particular credit goes to Vale for the LOVE with which he first selected the excellent raw materials and then prepared exquisite recipes and aperitifs. As for Marco, what can I say, a REAL sailor, with a contagious smile and a mastery of sailing that instilled an atmosphere of serenity and confidence from the first moment. The common areas and the cabin were comfortable, I found the boat clean and tidy. The excursions were very pleasant, which allowed us to experience the islands and create further moments of sharing and fun. My first sailing experience will remain among my best memories especially thanks to Vale and Marco's infinite passion for the sea, and the fact that they made it wisely accessible with their profession.

Six days with Marco & Valentina were like being among friends, family. In addition to being fantastic hosts (and excellent skippers), they put you at ease in maximum safety. The boat is spacious and clean, you can see the attention to detail. And Vale is an excellent cook! I recommend this holiday to those who love simplicity, in magical places.

Unique experience and great people! A journey full of emotions and that I will never forget, Marco and Valentina welcomed me on the boat, and immediately made me feel at home. During the three days of travel I had the pleasure of getting to know them better. Marco is a calm and kind person, a super competent and professional skipper. Always willing to teach his crew how to set course and sails, regardless of experience level. Unique sailing and life master. Valentina, also very kind, is a bomb of energy and happiness, always ready to entertain and spoil the crew with aperitifs and delicious dishes. I will never forget the crossing of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Between naps sunned by the waves of the sea, aperitifs with traditional food and white wine, and shifts at the helm during which to learn how to manage the boat. And finally, three days of pure relaxation and fun in Sardinia immersed in unique coves with emerald water.
