This experience, in a nutshell

What could be better than spending a long weekend immersed in the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean Sea? 

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. Each island has its own unique character, from the majestic cliffs of Stromboli with its active and evocative lava trail, to the crystal clear waters and enchanting landscapes of Panarea and Salina.

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Furnari.

Check-in: 9:00 AM

Our trip ends here:

Furnari.

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.


The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Nous avons pris le forfait 3 nuits-4 jours dans les îles éoliennes, sur le beau voilier de Mario et nous avons adoré l'expérience. Malgré les différences de langue (français, anglais et italien), nous avons très bien su nous comprendre..Mario est patient et fait des efforts pour bien communiquer Mario a su nous accueillir et nous aider a s' installer a bord. Mario nous a fait découvrir les îles et nous a amener dans de superbes criques . On a participer à l'élaboration du trajet , selon nos goûts et nos attentes.. Toujours souriant , Mario nous fait découvrir sa passion et son experience pour la voile ( malheureusement pas beaucoup de vent lors de notre voyage🫤) Mais quand même sorti les voiles quelques fois. Quelle belle expérience ..je recommande a 100%...avec Mario, !!

Superbe croisière sur le bateau de Mario ! Nous avons passé un séjour hors du temps entre les îles éoliennes. Il nous apprend aussi bien la voile que l'italien ! Je recommande fortement ce séjour à bord du beau bâteau de Mario.

Esperienza promossa a pieni voti. Una settimana in barca a vela con uno skipper esperto e disponibile come Mario, è il modo migliore per visitare le isole Eolie. Abbiamo toccato tutte le isole navigando a vela (vento permettendo) e assaporando il fascino dei vulcani: Stromboli in attività by night e salita sull'orlo del cratere di Vulcano. Anche il mare offre bagni particolari con acque a 40°C a Vulcano e le emissione gassose della solfatarta di Lisca binaca. Mario è molto attento alla meteo e alla ricerca dei migliori ormeggi per il massimo confort degli ospiti. Vacanza consigliata.

Settimana alle Eolie bellissima e indimenticabile, seppur i primi 3 giorni sono stati caratterizzati dal tempo burrascoso, ma Mario ha saputo scegliere baie e posti sicuri. Skipper esperto e bravissimo a coinvolgerci nella gestione della barca e delle vele. Le Eolie sono una più bella dell'altra e l'escursione con guida allo Stromboli per vedere le eruzioni in notturna è stata emozionante ed unica, cosa che ha fatto dimenticare la fatica per salire sù e poi scendere.
