This experience, in a nutshell

Hello! My name is Gabriele and I am the organizer and skipper of this experience. 

Our holiday style is relaxing, enjoyable and based on sailing.

A typical day generally consists of:
  • wake up on one of the islands and have a rich and healthy breakfast with a dip and morning swim,
  • discover a new bay where you can take unforgettable baths and have lunch with something fresh and light,
  • After taking a nice nap, we head for the next island of our itinerary trying to arrive at a time where we can anchor with the sunlight,
  • Finally, we end the day on a high note with a walk on land and, for those who wish, with a dinner in a typical restaurant.

After breakfast, we will leave the moorings for the first island of our adventurous journey: Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian archipelago and the main tourist destination.

Waiting for us will be the bright White Beaches characterized by the high presence of pumice stone and crystal clear waters. After lunch, in the afternoon we will head to the smallest island of the Aeolian Islands: Panarea, a worldly and scenic island, with white houses and blue doors and windows, where we will spend the night in the roadstead or in a buoy field. Here an aperitif is a must!


Sunday - Panarea

Leg 3

Monday - Stromboli

In the clear hours of the morning we will visit the islets of Basiluzzo, Dattilo and Lisca Bianca formed off the island of Panarea.

We will continue eastwards, following the route that leads to the island of Stromboli, a still active volcano whose spectacular eruptions can be admired from the boat itself or with a trek from land.

We will spend the night in the roadstead or in the buoy field depending on availability.


Monday - Stromboli

Leg 4

Tuesday - Salina

On our way to Strombolicchio, a volcanic islet located at the northernmost point of the whole of Sicily, we will spend the morning swimming and diving in a cobalt blue sea.

Sailing to the island of Salina, we will have lunch at Cala Junco, a natural cove on the island of Panarea that houses, a few steps away, the remains of a prehistoric village dating back to the Bronze Age. 

The day will end on the island of Salina, the greenest and most luxuriant of the Aeolian archipelago, thanks to its numerous water springs that make it a nature reserve.


Leg 5

Wednesday - Filicudi

Granita and cunzatu bread await us in Lingua, a small fishing village characterized by the presence of a small lake of brackish water, from which salt was obtained in past times and from which the name of the island of Salina originates.

This will be followed by a stop in the picturesque bay of Pollara, a small village that stands on the remains of an ancient volcanic crater that has partially sunk.

In the afternoon we will head to the island of Filicudi, the oldest of the archipelago and entirely visitable on foot. After visiting the small port of Pecorini a mare, we will spend the night at anchor or in a buoy field depending on availability.

Wednesday - Filicudi

Leg 6

Thursday - Lipari

In the morning we will circumnavigate the island of Filicudi, visiting the suggestive Grotta del Bue Marino and diving into the waters of the La Canna stack, known for its elongated shape and on the top of which a statue of the Madonna has been placed by mountaineers.

In the early afternoon we will head to the island of Lipari and anchor in the bay of Marina Corta. Here you can stroll along the streets of the town, full of shops and typical restaurants. We will spend the night in the roadstead or in a marina. 


Thursday - Lipari

Leg 7

Friday - Vulcano and return


In the morning we will set sail for Vulcano reaching the western side, where there is the Pool of Venus, a small oasis surrounded by tuff and basalt rocks with crystal clear water, and the nearby Grotta del Cavallo. Here we will do several dives.

Discovering the Aeolian Islands aboard an Oceanis 411

Racem B.

Nous avons eu le plaisir de voyager avec Alessandro. Globalement une super expérience malgré la météo défavorable. Alessandro et son père ont tout fait pour accommoder la traversée - en proposant un programme alternatif, certes moins riche qu'initialement prévu, mais très bien, avec de bons conseils / recommandations. Ils ont par exemple repoussé la date de retour à Milazzo pour nous permettre de rattraper une partie du programme et visiter Vulcano. Alessandro était aussi très accommodant sur les sorties sur terre et toujours à l'écoute en cas de soucis. Cependant, je mets 3 au lieu de 5 car je trouve le starter pack de 1,200 euros absolument SCANDALEUX - celui ci ne comprend rien de plus que les draps et serviettes. Pour avoir fait d'autres croisières en voilier sur Sailsquare, c'était une première, et quelle (très) mauvaise surprise ! Il aurait été préférable d'être très clair dès le départ, voir même de rajouter ces 1,200 euros au prix initial...

Il nostro skipper non è stato Gabriele ma il suo fratellino minore, che è stato di una dolcezza rara. La barca è tenuta molto bene e gli asciugamani e lenzuola, perfetti. L'organizzazione del giro è stata certosina ed elastica, e lo skipper Alessandro sempre pronto a soddisfare le nostre richieste! Siamo stati molto fortunati con il meteo e con la compagnia. Si è creato un gruppo subito affiatato e unito che è stato pronto ad affrontare tutto, dalle grandi giornate culinarie all' ancora incagliata. Nonostante non sia un amante del mare esco da questa settimana con grande tristezza, e sarei pronto a salpare di nuovo, con il prode Alessandro a guidarci e al resto del gruppo in grado di fare fronte a tutto! Grazie di questa esperienza:-)

Do 1 stella perché non mi dà l’opzione di dare 0…all’ultimo minuto Gabriele ci ha comunicato che non sarebbe stato lui lo skipper e ci ha rifilato un 70enne bifolco che non aveva idea di come fare gruppo, zero comunicazione, non sapeva cose basilari delle Eolie (per fortuna - o sua sfortuna - sono della zona e ho capito benissimo che voleva solo evitare certi posti per pigrizia) e dei venti (o almeno non si curava di avvertirci tanto che il primo giorno ci ha fatto pranzare con mare molto mosso ed alcuni ragazzi del gruppo si sono sentiti male). Per non dire che non si è lavato per l’intera settimana…inoltre non è affatto vero che si viaggia tutti insieme, annuncio fuffa per invogliare: abbiamo visto la crew di una sola delle 2 barche una sera perché mi sono lamentata di questo aspetto quindi mi sono sentita ancora più presa in giro considerando pure che in questa occasione mi sono resa conto delle TOTALI differenze: la nostra barca vecchia, loro nel lusso ALLO STESSO PREZZO. Vergogna

Abbiamo viaggiato con Alessandro, il fratello di Gabriele, e ci siamo trovati benissimo! Sì respirava un'aria di famiglia, eravamo un equipaggio ben equilibrato ed abbiamo visitato luoghi meravigliosi. Alessandro è stato sempre molto gentile e disponibile, ripartirei adesso se potessi!
