Embark from Portorosa Marina, Sicily, on board a Lagoon 50 catamaran for a 7-day sailing holiday through the UNESCO-listed Aeolian Islands. With six cabins but a maximum of 10 guests, this cruise ensures space and comfort, making it ideal for couples, solo travelers or small groups joining a cabin charter, as well as for families and friends who may prefer to book the boat for private use on request.
During the week, you will sail to Stromboli to admire the fiery eruptions of the Sciara del Fuoco by night, explore the chic island of Panarea with its turquoise coves, hike the crater of Vulcano, taste Malvasia wine in Salina, and stroll the colorful alleys of Lipari. The catamaran may also reach the more remote islands of Filicudi and Alicudi, offering a glimpse of untouched landscapes and traditional fishing villages.
Life on board balances adventure and relaxation. Days are spent swimming in crystal-clear bays, snorkeling around volcanic cliffs, paddleboarding (SUP included), and short sails between the islands. Evenings bring dinners on deck under the stars or local experiences in Sicilian trattorias.
Many travelers ask: What is the best way to visit the Aeolian Islands in one week? A catamaran cruise from Portorosa is the perfect answer: it allows you to explore multiple islands without the limits of ferries or crowded resorts. Whether you join by cabin or request a full-boat charter, the Lagoon 50 offers the ideal mix of comfort, style and discovery for your Sicilian sailing holiday.

Travel organizer tips
What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light—but wisely! Need help building the perfect list? Read our full guide: What to pack in a suitcase for a yacht charter
What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor—ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties—think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything.

What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues—but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?
