And here is the day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 - Portorosa - Lipari
Briefing at 3 pm at the Porto Rosa or Capo D'Orlando marina, list and accommodation of galley and boat and as soon as ready, we set sail immediately at sunset towards one of the first Aeolian Islands, Lipari. Arriving after 3 hours, we participate in the first evening in the Aeolian Islands at anchor or at the piers.

Day 2 - Volcano > Salina
Waking up and breakfast in Vulcano and mornings dedicated to discovering the island, bathing in the sulfur springs or walking around Vulcanello. After lunch we set sail for the Faraglioni of Lipari and after a swim and a relaxing break, we sail towards the Salina Veridiana. We arrive for aperitif time in Santa Maria di Salina, where we can choose to enter the port, "the Port of the Aeolian Islands", or stay in the port at its entrance and get off with the tender for a walk in its characteristic center and why not even for a dinner Salina as well as for its wines and its Malvasia is also famous for having one of the best restaurants in the Aeolian Islands.

Day 3 - Salina - Filicudi
Beautiful island! In the past it was called Phenicusa which means fern hawk. It has an oval shape and on the southeast side it extends to the promontory of Capo Graziano, a small peninsula connected by a part of land to the main part of Filicudi. The inhabitants (called "Filicudari") are scattered in the three main parts of the island: Filicudi Porto, Valle Chiesa and Pecorini a Mare. There is also the very important and characteristic 85-metre rock, the so-called "La canna", which rises in the middle of the sea. Its landscape and its breathtaking sunset seen from "Punta Stimpanato" are also wonderful... what a mystical experience!

Day 4 - Filicudi > Stromboli
Breakfast and navigation towards the famous bay of Pollara in Salina, a small hamlet where "Il postino" was filmed by Massimo Troisi, from here after lunch we will head towards Stromboli. I arrive in the late afternoon and I can organize an excursion to the volcano or admire the eruptions from the sea. After a good dinner in a local tavern, we will spend the night at anchor on Gecko Island. One of the most fascinating events on the island is certainly the Sciara del Fuoco, the lava flow that descends to the sea. Volcanic explosions with a jet of incandescent lapilli at great heights and which light up the sky red, occur all year round and never disappoint anyone.

Day 5 - Stromboli > Panarea
In the morning take a walk immersed in an absolutely suggestive atmosphere of the village of Stromboli .. very characteristic. We will sail to Strombolicchio and then we will sail to the island of Panarea where we will visit the satellite island of Basiluzzo with its vegetation rich in dwarf palms, the bay of Calajunco in Panarea with a beautiful natural turquoise green pool, the islet of Lisca Bianca with the famous Grotta degli Innamorati and Lisca Nera. Stop in the spectacular Milazzese bay and then all ashore to explore the island with its nightlife.

Day 6 - Panarea > Lipari
Route to Lipari for a relaxing stop in the magnificent White Beach, or the pumice quarries. Lunch in the bay and in the late afternoon free land to visit the town of Lipari and for those who want the archaeological and volcanological museum.

Day 7 - Lipari > Portorosa
We will leave early heading south, towards Vulcano, to stop after Punta Gelso and enjoy a relaxing bath and where we will admire a very varied coast full of reddish colors typical of the island and we will visit the Grotta del Cavallo. Before returning to Portorosa, where we will spend the last evening celebrating together, we will have time to swim at Vinci beach with its fumaroles.
Saturday: Portorosa Check out> Breakfast and Check out at 08:00

A week flown by and at the same time intense. Nice travel companions and a skipper, Giovanni, of the first order. He has done his utmost beyond his duties by making us among the many things also as a chef (that you eat) :). We visited some wonderful places and above all many swims in waters most of the time crystal clear. Egadi not to be missed .

More than a holiday it was an experience. An intense and fun experience, which I can't wait to do again. Much of the credit goes to our skipper Fabio, who guided us in those enchanting corners of the world and above all he knew with the right words and gestures to amalgamate a group of people, who became friends.

It was the first experience I had on a sailing boat and it proved to be one of the most beautiful holidays done so far. Fabio, our skipper, is an exceptional person, he transmits a huge passion for the sea and for the boat, which overwhelms and always manages to involve everyone. A special thanks goes to the rest of the "crew" we met almost all for the first time on the boat and we became a close-knit team, which did not stop laughing, having fun and partying even for a second. A holiday absolutely to be repeated!

Francesca, for her crew "Chicca", was our Skipper on this trip through the Aeolian Islands. Kind, calm and helpful, she always made us feel at home in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Few rules but those that matter. He pleasantly involved us in the maneuvers and sailing movements. Although she claims to be at the first experiences, for me she was among the best skippers with whom I could travel. THANK YOU Chicca!

Giorgio is a true lover of the sea, competent and always available, as well as a nice and pleasant person! The catamaran allows you to live a holiday much more comfortable than the sailboat but the experience is equally intense and exciting. It should however be noted that the catamaran was not "brand new" as advertised - very worn, smells of perennial sewer in our bathroom :( - and that we found dirty spaces and crockery on our arrival. However, a truly wonderful holiday, that blue and crystal clear sea ... I wouldn't go home again...

Wonderful holiday that we will remember with great pleasure thanks to the magnificent group that has been created and the spectacular work of the skipper Giorgio. We spent beautiful days alternating stops in the bay and long sailings. For those who have never had a similar holiday we recommend catamaran for the most spacious and comfortable environments. A fixed appointment for the coming years!

Fantastic holiday!!! Magnificent places.. Waters! Special thanks to our fantastic skipper Giorgio!!! Super knowledgeable and always available! I would choose the whole sailsquare life if I could be sure of having Giorgio as captain! Comfortable boat but found dirty at check-in (both outside and inside).

A beautiful holiday, with a visit to beautiful places and magnificent waters, lived to the fullest thanks to the accessibility conferred by the boat ... which allows you to swim in crystal clear blue waters, free of crowds. The skipper, nice and extremely competent, has always been attentive and available to the needs and requests of all. The catamaran was comfortable and spacious, though not quite brand new as advertised, but mostly found not very clean when we boarded. In general, a holiday and experience definitely recommended!!

Very nice holiday, magnificent places and very nice travel companions with whom I spent very fun days. Catamaran nice and comfortable in the spaces, but a little neglected (it was not really spotless on our arrival especially in the interior spaces). Skipper extremely competent, tireless and very helpful towards guests, careful to always take into consideration the requests of all. Nice to travel in a flotilla for the chance to meet more people.

it was a beautiful holiday among the Aeolian Islands with excellent travel companions ready for adventure to be redone

Beautiful holiday! Wonderful places! Skipper kind, calm and competent. Much also depends on the travel companions and I was really lucky! I can't

A week in the Aeolian Islands with Ferdinando and Cabin Charter. Thanks to him we were able to appreciate these beautiful islands. A fabulous skipper and crew. Highly recommended!

Negative opinion. Week characterized by continuous problems and inconveniences (scooter still, malfunction toilet, etc.). On the last day then we had 2 engine failures, the first during mooring in La Maddalena (we also went to rocks), the other during mooring in Cala dei Sardi. These problems were managed in an unprofessional way by the flotilla leader Luca. Superficial organization and unserious organizational company. Considering the fact that often the crew is made up of people with little experience or without (me), you definitely need better management to live the experience with serenity and safety!

Unfortunately my review is negative because to fail was the safety. Merope was a maintenance-free boat with the exhausts not working, the ropes hardened and the stoppers that remained in the hand. Monica, our skipper very good and kind, speaks only English or Spanish and no one had informed the crew in advance about it, very serious. We did not check in/check out. The anchor engine required surgery on the second day. We went to rocks because the engine stopped (more than once). VHF out of order. 1000 characters are few to express my dissent, but we proceeded to file a complaint with all the details and documentation in the captaincy in Olbia. The skipper never made us participate in the itinerary, we suffered the decisions of the other group. Beautiful places and group. Negative judgment on Sailsquare that I consider unreliable in the selection of companies to rely on on the spot, really not recommendable.

As anyone who has taken a sailing holiday knows, the success of the experience is 90% made by the skipper. The skipper of our boat is called Luca. Great. Professional, always sure of himself and of the boat, he allowed everyone to visit coves and beaches, without skimping on sailing and always taking care to find truly spectacular places and corners. Priceless. When the second boat of our flotilla had problems he was always ready to help them; always kind and professional. Thank you very much. Wonderful holiday!

There are some checks to be carried out to avoid unpleasant surprises, such as checking the boat with the related maintenance, also doing a check on the documents once on board and read the contract carefully.... Given that mine was a VALID experience thanks to the group, unfortunately I can not write the same thing for Sailsquare but especially for the skipper Luca .... Our security has been put to the test; without water for almost 3 days, unpleasant smell throughout the week (thanks to Luca who sabotaged everything), we ended up against the rocks for an engine problem (really unrepeatable experience), the anchor had problems .... obviously our established stages have never been respected. One of our traveling companions has dispersed and our "flotilla leader" Luca (he called himself so) has never contributed to the discovery even continued the itinerary normally .....

I state that the holiday was fantastic for the places seen, for the beautiful group and for the skipper Monica Ponce very smart. The low grade refers to the head of the flotilla, Luca, completely unreliable (he emptied us half of the water tank in an attempt to repair it and probably closed the sewage drain in an attempt to repair it), menefreghista (he never waited for us having a faster boat and DID NOT REPAIR THE ENGINE OF OUR BOAT). The boat had had a completely inadequate maintenance, our safety was PUT AT RISK, the engine turned off twice, we ended up against the rocks and we risked big, the anchor was defective from the start and also problem with the sewage discharges forced us to an unspeakable stench for the whole holiday. Partial compensation would be desirable, it would be a sign of seriousness and responsibility. I am very disappointed by Sailsquare and horrified by skipper Luca.

Really pleasant cruise, with an itinerary that has privileged especially Corsica that has not disappointed expectations. We did a lot of sailing with favorable weather conditions. Luca excellent skipper, very experienced and able to better manage every situation. Boat Sun Odyssey 509 extremely comfortable for 10 people and well unveiled, gave us some nice emotions. Highly recommended holiday!

Hello normally I never leave the reviews but now I do it because Luca really deserves it. our skipper was nothing short of outstanding. it is not the first time I have done charter and, I can serenely highlight how it is the best I have ever met. professional, prepared, kind, helpful, always smiling, with a sweet but firm character. I will definitely come back if Luca is there!

Fabio is fantastic..... always available and of a competence out of the ordinary. It never puts anxiety and is able to create a fantastic climate. I had other experiences but Fabio is a great guy. Definitely to recommend.
