This experience, in a nutshell

For departures from 20 to 27 September , one women's seat and one men's seat are available in separate cabins. Before booking, please contact the organiser to confirm.

Sailing among the enchanting Aeolian Islands aboard a sailboat during a summer week is an experience like no other.

The crystal clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea rock the boat, while the light wind pushes the sails, taking you to paradisiacal destinations. The feeling of freedom is palpable, and the horizon opens up to breathtaking views.


Each island has its own unique beauty, with rugged coastlines, hidden bays, and white sand beaches bathed by turquoise waters. Sunlight paints golden hues on the volcanic cliffs, creating a picture of natural beauty that enchants every glance.


Life on board will be one of peace and serenity. The days pass quietly between relaxing sailing, anchoring in secluded bays and swimming in transparent waters. The nights are magical, with the light sound of the waves lulling you to sleep and the starry sky reflecting off the sea.


Evenings on land in the picturesque towns of the islands offer the opportunity to savor the local cuisine, rich in Mediterranean flavors. The scent of traditional dishes mixes with the salty air, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

The spectacle that Stromboli offers us with the continuous eruptions is unique and thrilling.

Very nice week aboard Mario's sailboat. The extraordinary landscapes and crystal clear water were there. Swimming every day, visiting the islands, each more charming than the next, and nights under the stars lulled to the rhythm of the waves. I recommend!

Hello, since you are the one who is asking me, with a view to improving your service, you must say that my assessment of the skipper is negative. On a couple of occasions it even made me feel uncomfortable (once I was even called "impeded"). I wonder how he could have allowed himself to take such confidence when I was 56 years old. I avoid reporting other episodes on the subject of security.

A very good meeting! Mario and his boat led us comfortably, always safely, allowing us to have enough time to discover interesting and beautiful places by sea, but also by land (making us disembark). Thank you Mario!
