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.

We took the 3 nights-4 days package in the Aeolian Islands, on Mario's beautiful sailboat and loved the experience. Despite the differences in language (French, English and Italian), we understood each other very well. Mario is patient and makes an effort to communicate well Mario was able to welcome us and help us get on board. Mario showed us around the islands and took us to some great coves. We participated in the development of the route, according to our tastes and expectations. Always smiling, Mario makes us discover his passion and experience for sailing (unfortunately not much wind during our trip🫤) But still take out the sails a few times. What a great experience.. I recommend 100%... with Mario, !!

Experience passed with flying colors. A week on a sailing boat with an experienced and helpful skipper like Mario, is the best way to visit the Aeolian Islands. We touched all the islands sailing (wind permitting) and savoring the charm of the volcanoes: Stromboli in activity by night and climbing to the edge of the crater of Vulcano. The sea also offers special baths with waters at 40°C in Vulcano and the gaseous emissions of the solfatarta of Lisca binaca. Mario is very attentive to the weather and looking for the best moorings for maximum comfort for guests. Recommended holiday.

A beautiful and unforgettable week in the Aeolian Islands, although the first 3 days were characterized by stormy weather, but Mario was able to choose bays and safe places. Experienced skipper and very good at involving us in the management of the boat and sails. The Aeolian Islands are one more beautiful than the other and the guided excursion to Stromboli to see the eruptions at night was exciting and unique, which made us forget the effort to climb up and then down.
