THURSDAY 6 – Portorosa
Check-in from 10 am .
The boat is moored in the Portorosa marina located near the town of Furnari (ME), reachable from Catania airport by car - via the highway - by train or by shuttle. Purchased the galley en route to the island of Vulcano. First stop in the hamlet of Gelso with a visit to the oldest church of the Aeolian Islands and the suggestive lighthouse. Lunch in the bay then mooring in the eastern port, near the town. Various excursions are possible including the ascent to the crater of the volcano.
FRIDAY 7 - Panarea
Bow towards Panarea which we will reach after about 2.30 minutes. Excursion in the small and characteristic inhabited center, trekking enthusiasts can take a long walk that runs along the entire perimeter of the island enjoying panoramas of infinite beauty. Night stop in the bay, in Cala degli Zimmari.
SATURDAY 8 - Saline
It is the second largest island after Lipari. In it stands the highest mountain of the archipelago: Mount "Fossa delle Felci" 962 m. reachable after about 2.30 minutes on foot. This is certainly one of the most interesting excursions that can be planned. Alternatively circumnavigate the island by boat with a stop in the bay of Pollara (famous as one of the film sets where the film "Il Postino" was shot). Night stop in S. Marina.
SUNDAY 9 - Lipari
The largest island in the archipelago. Visit of the inhabited center and the castle, an archaeological site where there is one of the most interesting museums in the national territory. Worth noting is the renowned Easter procession. The development is characteristic, in fact two processions, starting from two different roads, carry the risen Jesus and the Madonna through the town. At the end, the statues will meet in the charming square of Marina Corta welcomed by the cheering crowd and the music of the band. Alternatively, trekking enthusiasts can reach observation points from which to enjoy panoramas of rare beauty, go on excursions in the hilly hamlets, climb Mount S. Angelo, and visit the "kaolin" quarries. Night in the bay. Night stop in the quiet port of Pignataro.
MONDAY 10 - Volcano
It is the day of the return to the coast, but, before reaching Portorosa, an excursion to the western part of the island of Vulcano where the "Piscine di Venere", the "Grotta del Cavallo" and other surprises await us.
Check-out at 18.00 .

For single travellers, there is the possibility of having a double cabin for exclusive use, paying a 30% supplement (generally a 50% surcharge applies).
A cheap holiday, immersed in the glitter of the sea, far from crowds, noise and constraints, in the much-needed relaxation like never before in this unusual period.
STARTER PACKS
The cost of the Starter Pack is
€90 per person for Single Rate bookings
€300 per whole boat booking
It will be payable upon boarding and includes:
- Overnight stay in the port of Lipari and Portorosa
- Diesel for the boat and petrol for the outboard of the tender
- Tender and outboard engine
- Cooking gas
- Sheets and towels (face & guest)
- Using the paddle
BOAT EQUIPMENT:
The boat is comfortable and generous in terms of accessories and provides, for the most "demanding": watermaker (no limitation for service water), generator (no problem for recharging utilities, such as mobile phones, laptops and hairdryers) and air conditioning (in order not to suffer the high temperatures of the ports).
For the more "sailors": gennaker and spinnaker, for the more "comfortable" ones: cockpit with cushions and bow sundeck and for the more "technological" PC-TV-WIFI.
WHAT TO BRING:
I recommend soft luggage and clothing that includes a hat, sweatshirts, a waterproof jacket and specific equipment for trekking and mountain biking.
HOW TO REACH THE PORT:
The Marina di Portorosa (Furnari), inside a tourist village, is located in a strategic position and can be easily reached both from the Catania airport and from the Palermo airport with a shuttle bus service.
Catania airport: about 2 hours
Palermo airport: about 2 hours and 30
Or by car along the A20 motorway
NB FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PROBLEMS FOR DEPARTURE AT THE END OF THE HOLIDAY, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ALSO SPENDING SUNDAY NIGHT ON BOARD.
For any kind of information, do not hesitate to contact me!
