Brief description of the holiday

Let yourself be accompanied in the discovery of the Aeolian Islands: Vulcano, Lipari, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, Salina, Tindari lakes, by those who have made this destination their favorite destination.

You will live an experience of sensations made up of colours, scents, sounds and flavors that will open the doors of Sicilian tradition and acclaimed hospitality for you.
On board our boat you will sail among these splendid islands, surrounded by crystal clear waters of extraordinary beauty , which will be the background to your sailing holiday.

On board you will live, we will live a genuine natural experience , we will sail towards peaceful bays where we will have lunch between sun and sea baths, we will be able to admire sunrises, sunsets and constellations that we thought had disappeared from the skies, with a subtle and light rhythm of life that flows at better.

The Aeolian Islands are volcanic islands, daughters of the 4 elements: air, water, earth and fire. ?The Aeolian Islands emerged from the sea during the Pleistocene, about one million years ago, and since then the eruptions have repeatedly changed their size and appearance.?

Saturday: Boarding from 17 to 23

Sunday: After breakfast we will sail to nearby Vulcano . Excursion to the Gran Cratere (one hour) and visit of the village. We will hoist the sails to reach nearby Lipari, its ancient Castle welcomes us, a swim to make the tiredness of the journey disappear in front of the white pumice quarries.
In the afternoon we will point our bow to Panarea . We can anchor in front of the terrace of the famous Raja, for an aperitif at sunset looking at Stromboli, or anchor near Cala Junco to visit the prehistoric village and get to the Raja on a walk.
Panarea has a small "archipelago": Lisca Bianca, Lisca Nera, Bottaro, Spinazzolo and Basiluzzo and we will visit it by sailing.

Monday: We will move to Basiluzzo or to the islet of Lisca Bianca , we will anchor for a beautiful swim and there will be time for snorkelling.
Monday, afternoon sailing to Stromboli , its Sciara del Fuoco, its black beaches, its transparent or deep blue sea. Dinner on land in the Observatory's pizza restaurant with an exclusive view of the craters.

Tuesday: Awakening in Stromboli and beautiful swim. We now sail to Salina , with a refreshing stop on Panarea, the greenest of the islands, and since the navigation is longer than usual we will anchor for lunch in an unvisited point of Panarea, the Faraglione di Cala La Nave.
Once in Pollara, a wonderful little inlet with walls overhanging the sea, we will see the places of the film "Il postino" with Massimo Troisi and Philippe Noiret. The inlet has a small stack in the center which is what remains of the ancient volcano sunk into the sea.
In the afternoon we sail towards Filicudi , the island where the captain would like to anchor and not leave again.

Wednesday: We can go ashore for those who want to have breakfast at the "Saloon", a meeting point for the island's alternatives. At Filicudi there is an extraordinary 70m high columnar rock, La Canna , far from the coast. For some it may be a challenge with themselves, but it will be worthwhile to go around the barrel with a mask and fins and the assistance of the tender together with the others.
After lunch we will return to Salina , Cala Santa Marina, all ashore, an aperitif while walking along the course and then dinner ashore or for those who want to dine on board, the trusty tender is ready as always.

Thursday: Lazy awakening and short navigation to Lipari , Valle Maria beach, wide sandy bay and swim at the Porta dei Giganti (stacks). In Lipari we will have time for a nice tour of shops and cafes and then dinner on board or on land.
For the night we will be quietly moored at the port of Lipari.

Friday: breakfast, still a few bays of Lipari and/or Vulcano . After lunch, route to Capo D'Orlando .
It will be possible to disembark from Friday evening until Saturday morning by 9:00.

NB: The itinerary may vary according to the weather and sea conditions and to the unquestionable judgment of the skipper.

Magical holiday! Although alone, I spent a fantastic week in the Aeolian Islands! Dario very kind and competent, involved me in the trip and we were well balanced in living together. Great tour guide and very helpful and caring to make me fully enjoy my holidays. absolutely honest and humble in trying not to charge excessive costs. responsible and competent in not putting our security at risk. to be redone and.. I have already recommended it to my acquaintances!!!

What a beautiful Odyssey this was. Dario is an experienced skipper who knows the winds & surroundings of the Aeolian islands very well, and brings you to a new one every day. Dario is also very thoughtful and never too tired to be the 'ferry connection': bringing us from the main boat (anchored) to the shore with a dinghy and to pick us up, which made island-hopping very easy. The boat is so nice, clean and warm. Dario takes his crew seriously and is not over-concerned, together we determined the lengths of our stays and where / what to eat / what to do. As a foreigner with little knowledge of Italian, I have felt welcome all the time. Thank you!

My first experience on the boat and could not be more beautiful, Dario was a real captain ready to make us discover the deepest blue, to create a moment of sharing, of joy, but also ready to give us lessons on navigation. A wonderful experience full of sun, memories to take with you forever and of course to redo. I recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful holiday in the Aeolian Islands and very good skipper Dario, with a great passion for the sea that transmits to all the crew. Boat kept very well, with order and cleanliness. Only flaw: a week of vacation passes too quickly!

Unfortunate experience due to the weather of the sea and the strong wind that most of the time did not allow us to navigate, forcing us to change the itinerary and not allowing us to reach all the places as planned. The skipper always available to meet our needs has suggested valid alternatives to visit and enjoy the places and the sea thus giving us the opportunity to spend our days in the best way. Unpleasant food poisoning that has created a bit of misunderstanding. But just enough time to recover and under the control and teachings of the captain we ended the last few days with sailing during which those who wanted could try their hand at the helm, ending the crossings enjoying specialties cooked for us.

Experience marked by a sea that was not so hospitable and conditioned the entire itinerary seen and reviewed several times because of the sirocco. Cozy and clean boat. Skipper polite and always available to meet the needs of the rest of the crew. There was no shortage of swims offshore and entirely sailing routes. Unpleasant episode given by a food poisoning has damaged the humor of the group. But the constancy of those who have not landed ahead of time has meant that the last few days have overall healed the experience with a thousand adventures.

The holiday was conditioned by bad weather, but Dario was able to recommend alternative solutions, which allowed us to pleasantly occupy the time (excursion by land to Favignana with bicycles and out of program in Trapani, a very suggestive city from a historical and landscape point of view). Dario also gave me a lot of confidence in returning to Balestrate with waves more than 2 meters high. As attested by Francesca in her review, Dario on the boat did not usually drink alcohol and his illness, as I was told, was determined by a food intolerance.

It was a wonderful holiday, lucky for the wonderful travel companions met, for the favorable weather and of course for the enchanting places visited. But the main architect of the "perfect holiday" was Dario, our skipper. Dario, son of art, is a man deeply attached to his boat, his sea and his land, and he knows perfectly the places he takes you to see. The boat is always spotless and tidy, and this naturally leads you, without constraints, to respect it. Everyone, then, feels willing to help him, as much as possible, who in the kitchen, who to navigation maneuvers, but always with joy and without feeling obliged. Excellent cook, Dario prepares excellent and I would even say sumptuous dishes of the Sicilian culinary tradition. If you want to collaborate in navigation Dario instills confidence, giving you confidence, granting you autonomy, always remembering what is important and what is less important. An experience that I would repeat immediately!

What can I say! A dream holiday, fueled by the certainty of being safe, guided by a great Captain, Dario, who knew how to entertain us, move us and protect us with great professionalism on every occasion! I would recommend anyone to sail with him, it will be a truly unforgettable experience!

Dario knows the sea, loves it and transmits it. It instills confidence in its crew even in the most delicate moments, when the wind suddenly reaches 35 knots or a thunderstorm surprises you. He loves his land and shares with others his history, his products, his coves. Traveling to these places has always been as if in every port he returned home. What about his boat? Always tidy and clean! It was fortunate to have met him and made my holiday among the most enjoyable I can remember on a sailing boat. I can't wait to leave with him again!

Dario is a great skipper, he loves the sea and his Sicily, he will introduce you to the most beautiful bays and will recommend restaurants and typical foods. Trust me, he's a foodie! Making a galley with him is an experience: at the deli counter - and also at the fruit department - you buy only after abundant tastings and only local products, because the others ... "you already eat them when you are in Milan"! The boat is spotlessly clean and tidy, comfortable, with cushions in the cockpit and mattresses for sunbathing in the bow. Expert in the area, he transmits safety in every maneuver, and in all weather conditions. We faced a fascinating night thunderstorm, with strong wind and a beautiful sea, but he did not break down, he continued to steer quietly in the rain. Maneuvers, sails, moorings: he does everything by himself, without asking anyone for help; but if you want to collaborate or be at the helm, he is happy to satisfy you and to transmit his passion to you. In summary: a week of 10 laude!

Boat in perfect condition, tidy and clean. Dario is an expert skipper and with deep knowledge of the Egadi Islands: thanks to his advice we have discovered and tasted the typical specialties of the area on land and by boat. Let Dario prepare the shrimp and a couple of other delicacies. Unforgettable experience.

Dario is a skipper of long course deep connoisseur of his land that with superfine mastery will guide you to discover beautiful places and typically Sicilian flavors that you will hardly forget. With him at the helm you will always feel safe. Excellent cook will try to satisfy your every request / but the advice is to let him decide how to delight your palate will be able to conquer even the most skeptical! His boat is his home that he generously opens to his guests. Kept in perfect condition is always spotless, always careful to satisfy every request (the hairdryer on the boat .... ) If you wish you can participate in the maneuvers on board otherwise abandon yourself to observe the sea and the horizon in extreme relaxation he will support you! Good wind to all,

Dario puts his heart into what he does, from the passion for the sea to that for cooking, from the love for his boat to the welcome on board. He is a very prepared skipper, he always puts safety first; the boat is impeccable in everything (first of all the cleanliness!) ... what about in the end?!? Are you still in doubt whether or not to choose this holiday?!? You are risking wasting time and therefore availability!! ????

I would say that Dario has the characteristics of a real skipper: sense of responsibility, knowledge of the sea and how to sail in maximum safety, but also a desire to share sailing, trying to involve members in navigation, with notions but also by steering and with the various maneuvers always with his indispensable support. It also surprised me because he also gave ideas to experience the islands even proposing short treks, which I also liked to have a vision of the islands from a different perspective. The Egadi Islands are really beautiful, but this was certainly not a surprise but a confirmation. Dario is also shown to be cooperative in trying to accommodate the needs of the various members, when this is possible. Last but not least, also hearing his story, I think he really has a lot of experience at sea and transmits confidence and tranquility to the crew.

Sailing to the Egadi was a wonderful experience, thanks also to Dario, an experienced skipper who always made me feel safe. You can feel loud and clear the passion he puts into his work, the love for sailing, for his boat, for the seas in which he sails, for the lands to which he arrives. He seemed to me a rare person, with the pure, free, playful soul of a child and yet, at the same time, with the authority, loving assertiveness and self-discipline of a true captain. Hospitable and generous in an authentic way, without hypocrisy, it made me feel at home. Knowing this "vagabond" was an honor for me and I hope to still have the pleasure of being part of his crew.

We spent a beautiful week sailing around the Egadi. Although my girlfriend and I didn't have any skills related to sailing, it was a wonderful experience. Dario was very inclusive and always transmitted safety and attention to the whole crew. Skipper highly recommended, not only as a sailor but also for the availability he had in always giving us a hand.

First week of September. Beautiful experience in the Egadi (for me the first time) and San Vito. Dario has a great marine capacity. He cares for and keeps in order as only a skipper owner makes of his boat. It is well known by everyone in the marinas where we moored. He was able to keep the crew together, which is not always taken for granted in these experiences. The boat is well equipped, nice and pleasant to steer. He passed me a lot of info and suggestions to go to sea. I passed him a cold. Good wind,

Dario is an excellent skipper, he loves his land, he loves, knows and respects the sea. Dario loves sailing, the wind, he knows him, talks to him and always finds an agreement. I have always felt safe, which is very important for those who sail. Beautiful week, beautiful experience, thanks Dario.

Dario is a fantastic person and an exemplary skipper. Available from the beginning he welcomed the whole crew as if it were his family ... I attended the holiday from 04 to 11 September and although the weather was sometimes a bit uncertain it still made the holiday unforgettable. I left it with a goodbye!
