This experience, in a nutshell

Sicily is embraced by a sea of infinite shades, rich in history and traditions where art and culture meet and accompany you as you sail through the picturesque islands that surround it.

Crystal clear sea, unspoiled nature, active volcanoes and 6000 years of history have allowed the Aeolian Islands to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.



The key words of this experience will be Sail & Enjoy... Browse and enjoy! A week of leisure, sharing and new friendships.


The energy of the volcanoes, the intense blue of the water, the scent of the islands, will surprise and excite you more and more every day.

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Lipari (Aeolian).

Check-in: 6:00 PM

Our trip ends here:

Lipari (Aeolian).

Check-out: 8:00 AM

Leg 1

Saturday - Lipari

Our tour starts from Lipari, where from 18:00 on Saturday you can embark. Once settled in the cabin there will be a short organizational briefing with the skipper and then off to the village to enjoy the first evening all together and to get to know each other better!

Leg 2

Sunday - Panarea (2 hours)

On Sunday morning we leave. We will put the bow towards the crystal clear waters of the Pumice quarries for a first swim. We will continue sailing by making the bow on the island of Panarea, the most chic of the seven sisters. We'll make our first anchorage in Cala Zimmari, the perfect bay for venturing out with mask and fins in its crystal clear water. In the late afternoon we will move in front of the village. As always, there are those who enjoy the sunset waiting to dine under the stars and those who cannot give up visiting the island for a walk through the white alleys surrounded by boutiques, and then find ourselves at the raya, a club and disco, with one of the most beautiful terraces on the island. Here we will enjoy an aperitif on the terrace of the raya, with soft lights, admiring the Stromboli which, restless, puffs on the horizon is an experience that is worth this trip alone.

Leg 3

Monday - Stromboli (2 hours)

On Monday morning it will be the turn of Lisca bianca. This anchorage is a must see stop in the Aeolian Islands, as well as for snorkeling also for the sulfataras. After swimming in the sulphurous waters of Panarea, we will head for Stromboli or IDDU, the most active volcano in Europe, so dear and feared by the islanders, unmistakable for its conical shape and the cloud of black smoke that is stationed almost perpetually on its summit. It will be the strip of black and volcanic beach at the foot of the village of San Vincenzo to host us in the roadstead to be able to go ashore and visit the town. Once on land, it will be pleasant to meet on the terrace of the Ingrid Bar for an aperitif together.

Leg 4

Tuesday - Salina (3 hours)

The largest of the islands, with extraordinary beauty and variety of landscapes. The morning and lunch will be dedicated to the eastern part of the island, where we will be able to admire the green seabed and the steep cliffs overlooking the sea of Capo Faro. In the afternoon we will sail towards Santa Marina, after a swim we will get ready to visit the town, colored by caper flowers and typical Aeolian houses, for those who wish, it will be possible to visit one of the many wine cellars on the island. You can return by boat for dinner if you want or for those with a sweet tooth instead it is time to go to Lingua where cunzatu bread and granita at Alfredo's await you!

Leg 5

Wednesday - Filicudi (2 hours)

On Wednesday morning we will sail to Filicudi, but first we will take a swim in the bay of Pollara made famous by the film The Postman. The beauty of this bay is characterized by a rock formation that creates a natural arch and the small fishermen's deposits carved into the rock. After seeing Pollara, we will continue sailing towards Filicudi and if we are lucky it will also be possible to spot some dolphins or turtles. Capo Graziano will host us for a swim, for those who love snorkeling, here they will have fun. We will then continue to Pecorini a Mare, an agglomeration of fishermen's houses where in the evening the Saloon will be waiting for us, the legendary restaurant that awaits us boaters for its delicious Malvasia accompanied by Sicilian appetizers prepared by the ladies of the village and a cheerful chat under the stars.

Leg 6

Thursday - Vulcano (3 hours)

On Thursday morning, as soon as you wake up, breakfast and route to the west coast of Filicudi to admire La canna (an eruptive rock formation that rises from the sea to a height of about 74 meters above sea level) and the Montenassari rock. After a swim in the bluest as it gets, we set sail for Vulcano, western bay to prepare for an eventful evening in the village for lovers of nightlife or for a nice evening of chat and company in the tranquility of the protected bay waiting for one of the most evocative sunsets of the Aeolian Islands.

Leg 7

Friday - Lipari

The day of the return to Lipari. But the cruise is not over yet. For those who want, early morning is the ideal time to climb the volcano, or you can take advantage of a tour through the narrow streets of the village and a breakfast with granita and brioche at Remigio's which is always a great satisfaction. Today we will move to the south side of Vulcano, after admiring the Grotta del Cavallo, here there are two beautiful bays: Baia di Gelso and Baia della spiaggia del Cannitello, also of black sand. In the bay of Cannitello beach, a bar is open for a happy hour or aperitif on the beach accompanied by dancing music. A last swim at sunset in the shadow of the Faraglioni of Lipari, is the worthy conclusion of this wonderful week spent together. Back in port, the cruise is not over yet because we will console ourselves with an excellent dinner all together in one of the best restaurants in Lipari, to best honor this beautiful week spent together.

The week on the boat was pleasant thanks to a wonderful crew with whom a good bond was immediately created and who guaranteed a great mood for the duration of the holiday. The boat is very nice and spacious, and the staff is efficient in keeping it clean, taking care of the guests by cooking great dishes and also selecting very nice shore trips. Respectable bonus for the sound system. The Aeolian Islands, ça va sans dire, are a destination with a strong appeal and have kept expectations very high. However, there is a huge "but" hanging over my judgment. I think it is not acceptable that a destination like Stromboli can be arbitrarily sacrificed by the itinerary without a real reason, even if adding the wonderful Alicudi, depriving us of the spectacle that makes the Aeolian Islands unique when both the week before and the week after the itinerary has included this destination. The boat, despite being presented as a single boat, sails together with three others and, if on the one hand this allows for beautiful moments of sharing and friendship, on the other hand it affects the itinerary. As well specified, it is obvious that the last word belongs to the skipper on the route but I would have appreciated more dialogue with the crew and greater transparency with respect to the choices regarding it. Ultimately, the boat parties are beautiful, the food and music are excellent, but for some if not for many, these are secondary aspects when you decide to visit magical places like the Aeolian Islands, I would take them into consideration more for the future. It could have been a perfect holiday, it will still be a nice holiday.

Apart from the sea, I wouldn't know what else to save. It's not an experience for me.
