Set sail to discover the wild beauty and timeless charm of Sicily’s Aeolian Islands. A sailing adventure where every island has a story, every stop brings a new perspective, and the rhythm of the sea guides your journey.
Ahoy, salty adventurers!
Welcome aboard for an unforgettable sailing holiday through Sicily’s stunning Aeolian Islands — where every moment is a celebration of life, nature, and adventure.
Your journey is guided by a local crew: an experienced skipper and a skilled sailor hand, who — upon request — can also take on the role of hostess. Together, they’ll ensure a smooth, safe, and enjoyable experience both at sea and ashore.
Life on board is all about slowing down and embracing the rhythm of island time: sailing between volcanic shores, swimming in hidden coves, soaking in the sun, and living the freedom of the open sea.
But the adventure doesn’t end when the sails come down. In the evenings, we anchor in scenic harbors or moor at buoys near charming island villages, giving you the chance to step ashore and explore. Whether it’s enjoying a local aperitivo, strolling through historic streets, or discovering authentic culinary and cultural experiences, each night is a new opportunity to connect with the islands.

Itinerary
Day1
Meeting in Portorosa
We'll meet at Marina of Portorosa. Here, we'll warmly welcome you aboard our sailboat, which will be your sanctuary for the next few days! Together, we'll stock up on supplies for the days ahead; the grocery list has already been prepared before departure, so now it's time to shop and bring everything on board! The welcome aperitif and the first dinner together will be the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better. We're already in swing and ready to get our swimsuits out!
Day2
Panarea, Between Chic Boutiques and Submarine Geysers
This is not a day-by-day itinerary, but rather an overview of what each island can offer — both from the sea and from the land. The final route will be discussed during the initial briefing, taking into account the weather forecast and the preferences of the guests, where feasible.
Exploring Panarea from both sea and land will be an unforgettable adventure! Despite the absence of a marina, the island offers numerous buoys and breathtaking anchorages. Together, we'll explore the island's wonders, from the shallow sandy bottoms of Baia Milazzese or Cala Junco to the submarine geysers between Lisca Nera and Lisca Bianca and Basiluzzo, the enchanting Cathedral of the Sea! On land awaits the picturesque village of San Pietro, with its luxurious boutiques and unique experiences in the renowned Aeolian nightlife spots. We won't miss indulging in the best cocktails at Bridge and the famous Raya. But even a simple granita on the small terrace overlooking Dattilo, near the San Pietro dock, will allow us to fully savour the easy chic atmosphere of this island.
Day3
Stromboli and the Sciara del Fuoco
Let's try and take advantage of the wind to head towards Stromboli! Unparalleled experiences await us! The island is one of the world's most active volcanoes, offering multiple ways to enjoy this magnificent spectacle once night falls: with optional guided trek to get up close to the Sciara del Fuoco or a fast boat that will bring you in front of the Sciara by night to see the eruptions! Get ready to experience the magical moments that this island offers its visitors, amidst fountains of fire and a starry sky never seen before. During the day, we'll relax in the waters of San Lazzaro, with its black sand beaches, or take a dive in the deep waters of Strombolicchio. The picturesque village of San Vincenzo, where we'll take a buoy for the night, and the famous Bar Ingrid could be both the setting for a fantastic dinner and the morning meeting point for the Aeolian breakfast: granita and brioche, strictly with "tuppo" in typical Sicilian style!
Day4
Salina: Charm, Good Wines Alfredo's Granita
Salina boasts one of the two ports in the Aeolian Islands and is renowned for its anchorages, offering sailors a peaceful refuge among the azure waters. The bay of Pollara is one of these places. Known for the filming of "Il Postino," here you can use an ancient stone staircase used by fishermen to reach the small village, from where you can admire a breathtaking view! Salina enchants visitors with its characteristic streets, where colourful doors and windows overlook cobblestone streets that lead to the sea that can be glimpsed framed by garden flowers, creating a romantic atmosphere. Alfredo awaits us with his exquisite granita and brioche, for sure the most loved in the islands, and we can immerse ourselves in Salina's rich wine tradition with a tasting visit to Hauner, among exquisite wines in a typical Aeolian terrace.
Day5
Filicudi and Alicudi, La Canna and the Clearest Waters
Filicudi maintains the true hippie spirit of the islands, where you can walk barefoot ashore and sit on colourful carpets or along the promenade to enjoy an aperitif at the Saloon in the village of Pecorini a Mare. Among stories, songs, and some tavern games, we'll spend an evening here in the most authentic spirit of the islands. We sail towards La Canna, an ancient lava stone column over 70 meters high, is a must-see, both to enjoy a swim in a lovely spot and to relax at sunset. Together, we'll also have the opportunity to visit the mystical Grotta del Bue Marino and take a dip at Capo Graziano, with its emerald waters and fascinating rock formations.
Alicudi, on the other hand, is a tiny dot in the vast sea! It's not always possible to reach it since the best anchorage remains one of the few available buoys. The famous donkeys, and the locals await us for an authentic dinner amidst laughter and a quite colourful repertoire of jokes, and some hidden gems like Spiaggia Bazzina and Rupe del Perciato. Of all, this is the wildest island, farthest from the frenzy of modern life.
Day6
Lipari: Adventure and Relaxation
The largest and liveliest of the Aeolian Islands, Lipari offers a perfect blend of history, nature, and local life. From the sea, you'll admire its rugged coastline, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic rock formations. On land, you can explore the charming old town, Marina Vecchia, the impressive archaeological museum, and a variety of local shops, bars, and restaurants that bring the island’s vibrant atmosphere to life.
We typically stop at the harbor in Lipari to replenish water and electricity, making it a practical and enjoyable pause during the mid of our journey.

Travel organizer tips
Do I need experience to sail with you?
Not at all! On board you have a professional captain and a crew member to take care of sailing maneuvers, moorings and anchoring. We like to set sails whenever possible, so if you want to help or practice a bit, you are welcome! But sitting back and relaxing while the winds bring us to our next stop is absolutely an option.
How do I get on board from the airport?
We can help organizing taxi transfers for our guests. Depending on your arrival time and other bookings, it may be shared or private. But there are also trains reaching very near the marina. For travel tips, please reach out to us directly.
What do I put in my luggage?
First of all use soft canvas luggage that can be stored folded and packed light! Storage space on the boat is limited. Bring swimsuits, light clothes, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, flippers, a beach towel, earbuds, and something warm, because at sea, especially at night it can get cold! Leave at home shoes with heels and any too formal wear, you shan't need them in the islands, where the atmosphere is always very relaxed.
