Join us for an unforgettable adventure among the fascinating Aeolian Islands, aboard a comfortable and safe sailing boat.

The Aeolian Islands, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a true paradise for lovers of the sea, nature and culture.

Our trip ends here:

Check-out: 7:00 PM

Leg 1

Portorosa - Vulcano - Panarea

Embarkation in the morning or late afternoon in the marina at Portorosa, Furnari (Messina).

Having filled the galley and taken our places in the cabin, we are ready to set sail: we leave Sicily behind us and with a fresh cross wind we sail towards Vulcano, which welcomes us from its ever-active crater.

We set course for Panarea, visit the most fashionable of the islands and spend the night at anchor in Panarea.

Leg 2

Panarea - Stromboli

After enjoying the classic granita, bath in the gaseous bubbles of Lisca Bianca and stop in Basiluzzo. We head towards the Sciara del Fuoco, on the side of the island of Stromboli where the volcanic materials emitted in the eruptive explosions from the main crater of the volcano accumulate.

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

Leg 3

Stromboli - Salina

Leaving Stromboli we head to Salina which is the greenest island of the Aeolian Islands and, for those who love the mountains, the extinct volcano of Monte Fossa delle Felci with its 962 meters. It's an irresistible challenge.

Stops and swims while visiting all the most beautiful bays, such as Lingua and Capofaro. Evening on land to taste the famous granita and bread cunzatu at Alfredo in Lingua.

Leg 4

Salina - Lipari- Portorosa

Leaving Santa Marina di Salina we stop for a refreshing swim in Pollara, on the western side of Salina, the natural set of the film Il Postino. The morning is spent diving into the sea, relaxing in the sun and walking on the island, after which we reach Lipari for an excursion to the Castle of Lipari which stands on the sea, in a rich archaeological area. We are in the upper part of the city and from there you can overlook the entire bay of Marina Lunga and Marina Corta and the lower town.

Back on board, we head towards Gelso, the southern part of the island, where we stop for a swim and for a last goodbye to the islands. Before sunset we set sail again towards Sicily. Dinner in a trattoria and possibility of overnight stay in Portorosa.

It's time to say goodbye.

Unforgettable holiday! Mario is the skipper everyone wants. He knows Aeolian Islands inside out, and everyone knows him there. Thank you for everything. I hope to see you again soon! :)

Mario is an excellent skipper. Through him we were able to see the most beautiful corners of the Aeolian Islands. His local knowledge and contacts on all the islands gave us an unforgettable trip. We were also lucky enough to have his incredibly lovely wife on board. Even though communication was not easy (we didn't speak Italian and she didn't speak English), she made the trip even more beautiful. We thank them very much for this wonderful sailing holiday.

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!
