This experience, in a nutshell

To start, thank you for asking us, it is a matter of pride for us!

Below we propose a typical itinerary to discover the Aeolian Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The sailing holidays with us start every Saturday afternoon after 18:30 from Lipari. SATURDAY
... finally arrived: the holiday begins! We will welcome you with the "Welcome" aperitif on board and typical Sicilian snacks carefully prepared by Simona, also an opportunity for a briefing on everything related to safety on board and accommodation in the two aft cabins: a few rules but necessary to make the your holiday, unique and unforgettable. The first evening we will go to dinner in a typical restaurant 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 hearty breakfast on board, we will drop the moorings and after having hoisted the sails, we will set our bow en route to Punta dell'Asino south of Vulcano . We will spin the calumo and the desire to dive into the crystal clear water will be the first thought of the day. A black sand beach will be the contrast between the crystalline color of the sea and the green that surrounds the whole bay, prickly pear blades and many vineyards. It is possible on the beach to taste a white wine produced precisely from these vineyards. After lunch we will head to La Grotta del Cavallo and the pools of Venus ; swimming inside the cave with the reflections of the sun's rays is an experience not to be missed.
Route black beaches west of Vulcano will be our half of the day, where Vulcano permitting, it is possible to hike up to the edge of the crater (Easy difficulty - time about 45 minutes) and admire the landscape of the seven wonders of the Mediterranean at sunset. we will visit in the following days.

MONDAY
The day after the bow will point towards Filicudi , about 20 miles of navigation but without giving up a bay that we will choose between the south coast of Lipari and the south coast of Salina and where after yet another swim in the Aeolian blue sea, we will have lunch. Once in Filicudi in the afternoon we will circumnavigate the island to the Canna, a 71 meter high stack that represents the last eruptive phase of about 40,000 years ago. Here the Queen's Falcon 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, Dentex or Perchia. We will visit La Grotta del Bue and even here you can always swim inside. The destination of the day is Pecorini a mare, a hamlet in the south meeting place for evening aperitifs with typical Sicilian dishes accompanied by local Malvasia. The panorama of the hamlet on one side, the sea and the Sicilian coast on the other is the ideal place to dine in the cockpit and admire the sunset .. Here we will be at the buoy for the night.

TUESDAY
Route to Pollara (Salina) 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 other times. Here we will have lunch and after coffee and coffee killing, we will resume navigation circumnavigating the island to Santa Marina di Salina. The greenest of the islands and also the most exploited for the many vineyards present for many decades. The village is very characteristic and is ideal for organizing a wine tasting and dining among the many characteristic restaurants and trattorias of the place or visiting Pollara from above by renting an Apecar to see another breathtaking sunset. At the end of the evening we will sleep in one of the bays along the east side of the island between stars, sea and serenity.

WEDNESDAY
After breakfast amidst blackberry, lemon, orange and strawberry jams, we will prepare ourselves with good taste to land on the VIP island of the Aeolian, Panarea , without however having given birth to Cala Junco , a bay with a fine sandy beach; from here along a footpath along the promontory you reach the remains of a village from the Bronze Age and from where you can admire the Milazzese Bay from above. After lunch and after another swim in the clear waters of the bay, we will go to the north of the island and take the buoy you can continue the late afternoon through the narrow streets of the town or have an aperitif in front of the enchanting spectacle of the colors of the Dattilo rock that change during the sunset. We will have dinner on board and for those who wish to continue the evening among the nightlife of Panarea using the free taxiboat service.

THURSDAY
After breakfast we will sail between Basiluzzo, Lisca Nera, Lisca Bianca, Bottaro and Dattilo and you can choose whether to snorkel in search of the Roman remains along the coast of Basiluzzo or be transported among the hot water sulphites from the bubbles of the Geysers between Lisca Bianca and Bottaro or still spinning in front of Dattilo to admire the transparency of the waters. After lunch we will head to the most famous island in the world, Stromboli, for its continuous explosive phases of " IDDU ". Just over 900 meters high, it is characterized by a western side called “La Sciara”, a village to the south where until recently there was no electricity “ Ginostra ” and the town of Stromboli facing east. After having taken the buoy it is possible to visit the town via the free taxiboat service and then have dinner at the observatory looking first at the sunset and then at the explosive phases of "Iddu", a show that will leave everyone speechless. It is also possible to rent a small boat to admire the sunset from the sciara and see the explosions of "Iddu" from the sea.

FRIDAY
Breakfast and off, Route to Lipari of course after having circumnavigated the Stromboli and seen the Sciara also from the sea. Our bow will take us straight to Le Pomici and what remains of the old historic pumice stone factories. Today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, pumice factories were the hub of the economy of the Aeolian archipelago until two decades ago and the dust from the production of pumice was deposited on the seabed making its color crystalline with the reflections of the Sun. For those who like to snorkel, the real fishing here is the Obsidian. At the end of lunch, unfortunately, we will remind you that the holiday comes to an end and around 4 pm the bow will point to the fortress of Lipari where we will moor at the port of departure. The afternoon can be dedicated to the latest purchases in the Aeolian Islands or to visit Marina Corta or the Fortress of Lipari but also complete the holiday with a wine tasting. You will certainly realize that the week has flown by and unfortunately by nine the next morning, after 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 et Danilo sont d'excellents hôtes. La déconnection est totale à bord de Time Out, le voilier monocoque parfaitement entretenu. Simona est une grande cuisinière Sicilienne. Nous nous sommes régalés à chaque repas de produits frais et de la mer. Danilo connait parfaitement chaque rocher de chaque île, ce qui lui permet d'adapter au mieux le programme en fonction de la météo et des envies de chacun. Pour bien profiter de ce voyage il faut partir avec l'esprit nomade et aventure (pas de douche chaude tous les jours, mais ce n'est pas cela que nous sommes venus chercher). Snorkeling à volonté et découverte des geysers sous-marins nous ont enchantés. A noter : le cratère de Vulcano n'était pas accessible en raison de gaz toxiques. L'ascension au Stromboli n'est pas toujours possible. Nous renouvellerons l'expérience.

Questa è stata la mia prima esperienza in barca a vela e sono partita con un bagaglio piccolo e voglia di leggerezza.Le Eolie sono un luogo poetico,dove vegetazione selvaggia e vulcani spadroneggiano.I compagni di viaggio, conosciuti a bordo, sono stati per me una piacevole scoperta, e a terra ci hanno scambiato più volte per una famiglia,forse perchè l'amore per il mare fa conoscere persone affini. Ci siamo immersi nella cultura del posto, tra antichi detti dei pescatori e segreti sui venti con lo skipper Danilo, imparando che: 'U scirocc mprun u ponent', perchè ad ascoltarlo bene, il vento ci parla. La settimana scelta, a cavallo di ferragosto, tra 'traffico Marino',principianti e mal tempo ha contribuito a creare piccoli momenti di tensione (forse qualcuna evitabile?), ma a tenere sempre alto l'umore ci ha pensato Simona, con la sua cucina siciliana doc, mani esperte e cuore grande.Il suo spaghetto con totani e lo spezzatino di alalunga rimarrano nei nostri ricordi estivi per sempre

Esperienza negativa e sconsigliabile: Danilo non perdeva occasione per accendere risse con le altre imbarcazioni in fase di ormeggio e disormeggio. Il quinto giorno ha addirittura minacciato di far affondare il catamarano che ci affiancava a causa di alcuni sacchi di rifiuti depositati sulla banchina. Ragione per cui abbiamo terminato anzitempo la vacanza e trascorso gli ultimi due giorni in hotel. A bordo tutto era super misurato: il pane (ogni volta occorreva chiederlo e per due giorni ci è stato propinato pane raffermo), l'acqua da bere (ci è stato rinfacciato un consumo oltre la media), l'acqua con cui risciacquarsi dopo i bagni, il cibo (le uniche due cene a bordo sono state un piatto unico a base di pasta). La mattina, per poter fare colazione, occorreva attendere che Simona si svegliasse. Imbarazzante la scenata di Danilo riguardo alla modalità di pagamento degli extra (bonifico disposto regolarmente) con atteggiamento intimidatorio per aver dubitato della regolarità fiscale.

La settimana trascorsa in compagnia di Danilo e Simona è stata indimenticabile! Siamo saliti in barca e ci siamo lasciati coccolare e guidare in tutto da loro. Ci hanno organizzato escursioni, percorsi, cene. Le pietanze di Simona poi sono strepitose! Un vero valore aggiunto avere skipper e hostess, sempre disponibili e pronti a organizzarci momenti indimenticabili. Abbiamo semplicemente spento il cervello e ci siamo goduti questa bellissima vacanza. Ancora grazie!
