This experience, in a nutshell

Welcome aboard our 7 days cruise with hostess sailing among the wonders of the Mediterranean ... The Aeolian islands!

Below we offer a typical itinerary to discover the Aeolian Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sailing holidays with us start every Saturday afternoon after 5:30 pm from Lipari. SATURDAY
... finally arrived: the holiday begins! We will welcome you with the "Welcome" aperitif on board and typical Sicilian appetizers carefully prepared by the hostess, also an opportunity for a briefing on everything that will concern safety on board. Few rules but necessary to make your holiday unique and unforgettable. The first evening we will have dinner in a typical trattoria in the heart of Lipari and it will also be an opportunity to visit the first of the seven wonders of the Mediterranean.

SUNDAY The next morning after a rich breakfast on board, we will drop the moorings and set our bow on course for the Pomici di Lipari and those that were the factories of their processing. We will moor and the desire to dive into the crystal clear water will be the first thought of the day. After lunch we will head for Stromboli where we will spend the first night at anchor in front of the spectacular perennially active volcano. Here it will be possible to make the excursion at altitude with the guides (by reservation), to let yourself be captured and thrilled by a breathtaking sunset and to admire the eruptive phases of "Iddu".

MONDAY
The next day our route will head towards Panarea and exactly in front of Lisca Bianca. Here it will be possible to dive among the sulphurous hot water, a spectacle of Sicilian nature. Lunch and small transfer to Baia Milazzese (Panarea) where it will be possible to visit the remains of the Bronze Age village or to reach the village of Panarea, place of the Aeolian nightlife, with golf buggies.

TUESDAY
Route for Filicudi to the Canna, a 71-meter-high stack that represents the last eruptive phase of about 40,000 years ago. Here the Queen's Hawk nests and one of the Aeolian lizard subspecies lives, which today unfortunately risks extinction. Do not miss the circumnavigation of the Canna with mask and fins in search of the Brown Grouper, Snapper or Perch. In the afternoon we will arrive in Pecorini, a very small village known by all for an evening aperitif, while the sun hides behind the island of Alicudi.

WEDNESDAY
We will say goodbye to Filicudi and point the island of Salina, exactly Pollara, a natural amphitheater famous for the shooting of the film "Il Postino" by Massimo Troisi. Some natural caves look after small fishing boats and the scenery seems to be from another era. After lunch we will circumnavigate the island to reach Santa Marina di Salina, where we will moor to visit the town. It will be possible to make a tasting of local wines (by reservation) in the cellars now famous all over the world for the production of Malvasia.

THURSDAY
After breakfast we will sail the canal - south route - and stop in the Baia da Vinci where for years, without light and without running water, what everyone once called Robinson Crusoe has lived: a nice man with his dog now used to receiving visits from 21st century tourists. Lunch and then a relaxing break - just the time of digestion - in the ideal place for fishing for Occhiate with biscuits. From here the view of the sunset is spectacular because the sun hides between Alicudi and Filicudi.

FRIDAY
Route to Vulcano and mooring at the black sands, beach of volcanic grains. It will be possible to make an excursion on the Volcano, where the landscape scenery leaves you breathless. In the early afternoon we will circumnavigate the island with a stop in Gelso for a swim at sunset before our return to Lipari. We will sleep in the marina and the next morning, at breakfast, we will say goodbye as if we had spent a lifetime together.

The seven wonders of the Mediterranean - 16mt boat for 4 guests - Hostess on board

Simona and Danilo are excellent hosts. The disconnection is total aboard [hidden] Out, the perfectly maintained monohull sailboat. Simona is a great Sicilian cook. We feasted at every meal of fresh produce and the sea. Danilo knows perfectly each rock of each island, which allows him to best adapt the program according to the weather and the desires of each. To enjoy this trip you have to go with the nomadic spirit and adventure (no hot shower every day, but that's not what we came for). Snorkeling at will and discovery of underwater geysers enchanted us. Note: the Vulcano crater was not accessible due to toxic gases. The ascent to Stromboli is not always possible. We will renew the experience.

This was my first experience on a sailing boat and I left with a small baggage and a desire for lightness. The Aeolian Islands are a poetic place, where wild vegetation and volcanoes dominate. The traveling companions, known on board, were for me a pleasant discovery, and on land they mistook us several [hidden]s for a family, perhaps because the love for the sea makes known similar people. We immersed ourselves in the culture of the place, between ancient sayings of the fishermen and secrets about the winds with the skipper Danilo, learning that: 'U scirocc mprun u ponent', because to listen to it well, the wind speaks to us. The week chosen, at the turn of August, between 'Marino traffic', beginners and bad weather has helped to create small moments of tension (perhaps some avoidable?), but Simona has always thought of keeping the mood high, with her Sicilian cuisine doc, expert hands and big heart. His spaghetti with squid and albacore stew will remain in our summer memories forever

Negative and inadvisable experience: Danilo did not miss an opportunity to ignite fights with the other boats during mooring and unmooring. On the fifth day he even threatened to sink the catamaran that flanked us because of some bags of waste deposited on the quay. Reason why we finished the holiday prematurely and spent the last two days in the hotel. On board everything was super measured: the bread (every [hidden] we had to ask for it and for two days we were offered stale bread), the water to drink (we were reproached for an above average consumption), the water with which to rinse after the baths, the food (the only two dinners on board were a single dish based on pasta). In the morning, in order to have breakfast, it was necessary to wait for Simona to wake up. Embarrassing the scene of Danilo regarding the method of payment of extras (transfer arranged regularly) with intimidating attitude for having doubted the tax regularity.

The week spent in the company of Danilo and Simona was unforgettable! We got on the boat and let ourselves be pampered and guided throughout by them. They organized excursions, routes, dinners. Simona's dishes are amazing! A real added value to have skippers and hostesses, always available and ready to organize unforgettable moments. We simply turned off our brains and enjoyed this beautiful holiday. Thanks again!
