This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing among the enchanting Aeolian Islands aboard a sailboat during a summer week is an experience like no other.
The crystal clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea rock the boat, while the light wind pushes the sails, taking you to paradisiacal destinations. The feeling of freedom is palpable, and the horizon opens up to breathtaking views.

Each island has its own unique beauty, with rugged coastlines, hidden bays, and white sand beaches bathed by turquoise waters. Sunlight paints golden hues on the volcanic cliffs, creating a picture of natural beauty that enchants every glance.

Life on board will be one of peace and serenity. The days pass quietly between relaxing sailing, anchoring in secluded bays and swimming in transparent waters. The nights are magical, with the light sound of the waves lulling you to sleep and the starry sky reflecting off the sea.

Evenings on land in the picturesque towns of the islands offer the opportunity to savor the local cuisine, rich in Mediterranean flavors. The scent of traditional dishes mixes with the salty air, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

NB: for the departure of 3/10 there are the last two seats available: a man and a woman seat, in separate cabins. Before proceeding with your booking, please contact the organiser directly to receive more information about the accommodation and verify that it is in line with your needs.

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.
