This experience, in a nutshell

ATTENTION: The price indicated is for the cabin with shared bathroom; to reserve the cabin with private bathroom contact me via the message area and you will receive a personalized offer.

It can be me or one of my collaborators on board: Davide P. , Carmelo P. , Lorenzo P. , Stefano P. , Alessandro P.

We will have the opportunity to sail in a flotilla with two other boats.
We are a family-run charter company and we have an excellent knowledge of the Aeolian archipelago given our decades of experience.
We own three sailing boats and generally follow the same itinerary. This allows you to find the right balance between fun and relaxation given the possibility of interacting or not with the crews of other boats.

The holiday we offer will give you the opportunity to experience the islands both inside and out. We will visit the most beautiful bays and let you experience the thrill of sailing. In addition, every evening you will have the opportunity to go ashore and get to know the Aeolian cuisine and culture.

A sailing holiday is not a holiday like any other, especially if spent in the Aeolian Islands .

Here you will find a perfect mix of relaxation, breathtaking landscapes, trekking and Mediterranean cuisine .

UNESCO World Heritage Site and Land of Volcanoes, few archipelagos are like the Aeolian Islands.
Within a few miles there are seven islands each with different characteristics. In a week it will be possible to visit them avoiding long navigation routes.
We will make you take unforgettable baths in the most beautiful bays accessible only from the sea. You will get to know the typical Aeolian cuisine and the uses and customs of its inhabitants.
During the holiday we will make the most of sailing navigation by providing you with the basics.
Those who love the seabed will also have the opportunity to snorkel , while for nature lovers there will be the opportunity to go trekking reaching the volcanic craters of the islands.
ITINERARY:

SATURDAY
Boarding will take place at Marina Poseidon (Milazzo ME) from 18:00 onwards.
After stowing the galley and settling into the cabins, we will do a briefing explaining how to behave on board in order to spend a week that is both fun and safe at the same time. We will spend the first night at the embarkation marina where we will be able to get to know each other better and prepare for the departure of the following day.

SUNDAY
As soon as you wake up, breakfast and off you go! The first destination will be Vulcano where it will be possible to take a bath in the "Hot Waters" or climb to the top of the volcanic crater. Then it will be the turn of Lipari where you can take an unforgettable bath in the crystal clear waters of the "White Beaches". In the afternoon we will aim for the island of Panarea where you can have the coolest aperitif of the Aeolian Islands.

MONDAY'
In front of the island of Panarea rise Basiluzzo , considered the eighth of the islands, and of the stacks of extraordinary beauty such as " Dattilo " and " Lisca Bianca " where we can anchor and take fantastic baths. Continuing east you can admire Stromboli in its perfectly conical shape. You will take a bath at the “ Sciara Vecchia ” and, after admiring the sunset, you will have the opportunity to see an erupting volcano with your own eyes!
Once you reach the anchorage, you can go ashore and, by booking early, you can dine at the Observatory from where you can continue to observe the eruptions.

TUESDAY'
The following morning, as soon as we set sail we will head towards Strombolicchio . We will take an unforgettable bath adrift in a cobalt blue sea. Afterwards, we will sail to Salina passing through Cala Junco (Panarea) , an enchanting cove where the remains of a prehistoric village dating back to the Bronze Age stand a few steps away. Salina is the highest island rich in typically Mediterranean vegetation.
After anchoring you can go ashore and dine in one of the many restaurants on the island.

WEDNESDAY'
On the east side of Salina, close to an impressive white rock wall that was once the internal part of a huge crater, there is an inhabited center called " Pollara ". Not far away, a large stack and a splendid natural arch make this area even more fascinating.
After lunch we will head for Filicudi anchoring in Pecorini Mare where we will have the opportunity to have an aperitif based on music and fresh fish.

THURSDAY'
Circumnavigating the island of Filicudi we will pass by the Grotta del Bue Marino and by a stack called La Canna formed following a volcanic eruption. Being in the open sea, the water here is always clear and crystalline and a nice swim is a must.
In the early afternoon we will sail to Lipari , the largest of the seven islands. We will take a bath at the Faraglioni and then anchor in "Marina Corta" where you will have the opportunity to take a long walk through the streets of the largest town in the archipelago.

FRIDAY'
In the morning we will set sail for Vulcano where we will visit the western side. Here you can admire the " Grotta del Cavallo " and take a bath in the " Pool of Venus ".
In the early afternoon we will leave the islands returning to Milazzo where we will spend the last night moored at the departure marina.

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!
