Brief description of the holiday

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. As soon as we are ready, if it is not late we will reach Vulcano otherwise we will spend the night in the harbor in Milazzo and then leave the following morning

SUNDAY
The first stop will be in Lipari where you can take an unforgettable swim 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 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 in the “ Sciara Vecchia ” and, after admiring the sunset, you will have the opportunity to see an erupting volcano with your own eyes!
Once at 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 an enormous 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'

Reviews of Gabriele

14 reviews
10 / 10

Davide was a skipper with the tiny S, his knowledge of the sea and the Aeolian Islands made the week on the boat with him perfect! I recommend the experience with the Paratore brothers to everyone!

We were supposed to travel with Gabriele, but a fortuitous chance meant that his brother Davide took his place. There is no doubt that the experience with Gabriel would have been just as positive, but there is no denying that David entered our hearts. He shared this experience with us by integrating into the group and participating in moments of leisure and fun, while maintaining his position as "leader" and guide. An experienced and humble sailor, he shared his knowledge with the crew over the course of the week. A sweet and patient person, he has been able to manage all the various situations and has both endured (ahaha) and supported the lively soul of the group we are. What can I say, you could only recommend traveling with him. Without you it would not have been the same. We love you Davide, your friends from Phenicusa.

Gabriele was supposed to be our skipper but for reasons of force majeure he was replaced by his brother Davide. Despite this he followed us virtually and helped prepare before the holiday, so we were actually blessed with two super competent and helpful skippers. Davide, in addition to being an incredibly prepared and reliable skipper, is a wonderful person who transmits security and sympathy to iosa! You will all fall in love morally with him, promised! P.s. the P. brothers are like a box of chocolates: maybe you are not sure which one will happen to you but in both cases you can consider yourself incredibly lucky people.

We traveled with his brother Davide P. Who turned out to be Super competent, made a magical holiday, on a fantastic place, very attentive to the needs of the crew, always vigilant and attentive, makes him a reliable person. He always managed to entertain with his stories and notions of sailing. I can consider myself lucky to have had him as a skipper, just a beautiful person, now a rare thing! I recommend it !

we traveled in four with Gabriele from 15 to 22 August 2020. Gabriele is first of all a polite, conscientious, attentive and balanced boy. Throughout the week I brought the boat in an excellent way, managing to take good winds to unfurl the sails. The anchorages, all at anchor, have always been firm and successful. Whenever we wanted to disembark on land, Gabriele accompanied us to the first pier / beach, making himself available at any time on the phone to pick us up. On board and at sea, his presence has never been lacking but he has not even been felt: he is an excellent travel companion that we would like to recommend with enthusiasm.

Gabriele, despite his young age, is a responsible, shrewd and reliable skipper. We were on the boat with him a week for the Aeolian Islands with 2 girls aged 10 and 12 on board and he was very good, they loved it! Gabriele was able to respond promptly to the problems we had with the engine of the tender and proceeded to replace it to allow us to land on the islands and also live a little their centers. I recommend it and thank it warmly. Only small note: remind him of the toilet paper on the boat!

Truly memorable holiday, ideal for those who want to unplug. Gabriele is a fantastic skipper, very balanced and responsible. Thanks to his availability we were able to modify the itinerary to adapt it to our preferences following his valuable advice. I thank him for the patience he had towards me as a neophyte of sailing. Keep it up !

Great Gabry!! You made us dream sailing for a week in the crystal clear waters of the Aeolian Islands pampering us and pampering our puppies! Even if young you have proved to be an attentive and scrupulous skipper with an excellent knowledge and mastery of the boat ... What can I say? Continue to make us dream and thank you for everything!

I left for my first time, for my first time on a sailboat.. What can I say, everything great! It was a wonderful week! The beautiful weather and the wonderful company I found on board have meant that these beautiful Aeolian Islands and the blue of this deep sea remain forever in my memories! Gabriele is a very lovable boy, a great lover of the sea and its "gone with the wind". Attentive, precise and safe in navigation, nice and genuine in living together on a boat. The emotion I felt sailing in the middle of the sea, with the only sound of the sea and the wind, I will not forget so easily. Thank you Gabriele and thank you crew for this unforgettable holiday!

What a wonderful holiday! just too short! Gabriele's boat is beautiful, comfortable and very well maintained. I traveled alone, like most of the crew, and this time I had confirmation that the sea and sailing always bring together beautiful people. Very funny and festive mood!! Gabriele is already an experienced skipper, of the islands, of sailing, of crew management. He sailed between the islands in the best way, following an itinerary in my opinion perfect and pointing to the most beautiful coves that I have seen so far in my beloved Aeolian Islands.He is attentive and responsible, especially reliable in navigation and in giving support to the crew even inexperienced; kind in the ways, but so funny and witty, intelligent and very witty as a good Sicilian. Perfectly integrated with the crew, we had a great time! Good skipper makes good holiday. I had a really good time.... there was everything <3. Of my sailing holidays this has become the new No. 1! Good wind!

A holiday different from the usual and exciting! A beautiful experience, amazing places, great company! Gabriele is a skipper prepared, attentive, expert in sailing... But above all very easy-going and available to every need! I recommend it!

Fantastic and regenerating holiday, ideal if you want to escape for a while. Gabriele is always very attentive and helpful despite his young age. Thanks Gabri!! .... Basiluuuzzo!!

Really fantastic holiday, made even more beautiful by the Skipper Gabriele really good and available in anything you decide to do, really good experience to do again for sure ... thanks again to Gabriele!!

Memorable tour of the Aeolian Islands, Gabriele grew up sailing on a sailboat with his dad, motif so it should not be underestimated for the young age. He leaves the right freedom on board and does not assume that militaristic position that is sometimes noticed in some skippers, who attack first for fear of being attacked. The clipper is a comfortable boat compared to my previous sailing experiences. Good wind!
