Leg 1

Sunday

Early in the morning we will leave the moorings from the port of TROPEA, putting the bow for the island of VULCANO. We will reach the island in the early afternoon (45 miles), allowing us to visit the island and take a nice swim in the beach. A peculiarity of this island is the active volcanic activity that manifests itself with the fumaroles and thermal waters by the sea. The next morning you will not miss an excursion to the top of the volcano to enjoy a complete overview of the archipelago.

The bay with crystal clear and pristine waters shows us the ruins of the ancient pumice quarry, now abandoned for decades, In the late afternoon we will drop anchor near the center of the town of the same name to spend a pleasant evening in one of the typical restaurants.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the breezes, we will raise the sails to the islands of Alicudi, very wild of FLICUDI with its characteristic CANNA where you can not miss a swim. In the evening we will drop anchor in FILICUDI where we will spend the night. The next morning for the more daring we recommend a hike to the top of the mountain that gives us a spectacular view.

In the morning we will sail in relaxation around the islands of FILICUDI AND ALICUDI with a short stop on the latter, very wild. In the early afternoon we will head the bow towards the island of PANAREA but, we cannot miss a short stop north of SALINA to explore the famous GROTTA DEL TORO by swimming, dinghy or sup. Finally in the evening we will reach the VIZZARI BAY in PANAREA where we will drop anchor for the night. With the tender or taxi boat it will be possible to reach the center of the town of the same name.

Wednesday

Leg 5

Thursday

The morning will be full of relaxation, offering an excellent opportunity to sunbathe in the bay from the boat or from the beach. Nearby, you will have the opportunity to visit an ancient prehistoric village. A panoramic walk to the center (25 min) will give unique views and the view of the characteristic houses of the island.

In the afternoon, we will head to the last and fascinating island of STROMBOLI, where we will drop anchor to allow for an exploration on land and a refreshing swim. But a surprise awaits you: around midnight, with favorable weather conditions, we will skirt the island to admire the spectacle and the power of nature of the SCIARRA DI FUOCO.

Finally, at dawn, we'll make a stop for a well-deserved rest.

Thursday

Leg 6

Friday

The cruise is coming to an end, but in the late morning we will have time to make a stop at the STROBOLICCHIO, a remnant of the ancient volcano. Afterwards, we'll head back to the port of TROPEA

The Barcolana

Gianni, ottimo compromesso fra lupo di mare e tour leader. Lo skipper "comanda" non discute. L'armatore da crociera "coccola" gli ospiti. Il difficile è fare coesistere i due ruoli o, peggio, separarli nel caso che in regata la bora a 35 nodi ti obblighi a dare "ordini" perentori per portare in porto barca e marinai interi. Lui lo sa fare, anzi, la sua voce roca gli addolcisce. Il vero problema è "l'italico popolo" che mal sopporta l'ordine e non riconosce che, non solo in mare, chi sa comanda, chi non sa esegue.

Barcolana, esperienza unica e irripetibile! Skipper competente e di grande esperienza, un vero lupo di mare. Gianni e la sua dolcissima compagna Giovanna hanno cercato di gestire nel migliore dei modi una regata MOLTO complicata. Bora forte, barca speronata e motore in avaria, tutte condizioni di forte stress (può capitare fa parte del gioco). In queste situazioni Gianni non è stato docile -diciamo carta vetrata- ma a mio avviso si è comportato come un vero comandante, decide lui e basta. Nota negativa: deve scegliere molto meglio suoi aiutanti, sopravvalutare o pretendere troppo da persone poco competenti genera confusione e insicurezza. Grazie!

Una settimana strepitosa di vela in giro per le isole con La Sapienza di Gianni è stata un’esperienza unica Avendo letto alcune recensioni negative ero molto scettico se navigare con Gianni invece non capisco come sia possibile scrivere cattiverie gratuite sulla barca è sulla professionalità di Gianni Vi consiglio assolutamente di navigare con lui Buon vento

Impatto un pò spigoloso, poi imparando a conoscerci l'atmosfera è decisamente migliorata. È un ottimo marinaio e anche durante una lunga traversata con mare agitato non ci sono stati assolutamente problemi. I luoghi visitati molto belli e sempre in tranquillità. La barca ben attrezzata e sicura accusa un pò gli anni di navigazione e talvolta si riflette sull'agio dei turisti. 5 stelle e plus di tutta la vacanza, Giovanna hostess/secondo di bordo, che in ogni frangente, media e mette a proprio agio chiunque. Vacanza da ripetere.
