This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing among the enchanting Aeolian Islands aboard a sailboat during a summer week is an experience like no other.

The crystal clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea rock the boat, while the light wind pushes the sails, taking you to paradisiacal destinations. The feeling of freedom is palpable, and the horizon opens up to breathtaking views.


Each island has its own unique beauty, with rugged coastlines, hidden bays, and white sand beaches bathed by turquoise waters. Sunlight paints golden hues on the volcanic cliffs, creating a picture of natural beauty that enchants every glance.


Life on board will be one of peace and serenity. The days pass quietly between relaxing sailing, anchoring in secluded bays and swimming in transparent waters. The nights are magical, with the light sound of the waves lulling you to sleep and the starry sky reflecting off the sea.


Evenings on land in the picturesque towns of the islands offer the opportunity to savor the local cuisine, rich in Mediterranean flavors. The scent of traditional dishes mixes with the salty air, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

Boarding in the afternoon in the marina of Portorosa, Furnari (Messina).

Once the galley is filled and we take a seat in the cabin we are ready to set sail: we leave Sicily behind and with a fresh crosswind we sail towards Vulcano which welcomes us from its always active crater. We spend the night in Vulcano in the bay.

After enjoying the classic granita, baths in the soda bubbles of Lisca Bianca and stop in Basiluzzo. We head towards the Sciara del Fuoco, a side of the island of Stromboli where the volcanic materials emitted in the eruptive explosions from the main crater of the volcano accumulate.

The spectacle that Stromboli offers us with the continuous eruptions is unique and thrilling. 

MONDAY - Panarea - Stromboli

Leg 4

TUESDAY - Stromboli - Salina

Leaving Stromboli we head to Salina which is the greenest island of the Aeolian Islands and, for those who love the mountains, the extinct volcano of Monte Fossa delle Felci with its 962 meters. It is an irresistible challenge.

Stops and swims while we visit all the most beautiful bays, such as Lingua and Capofaro. Evening on land to taste the famous granitas and cunzatu bread at Alfredo in Lingua.

and then to Lipari for the night. We take advantage of the stop in Lipari for an excursion to the Castle of Lipari which stands on the sea, in a rich archaeological area. We are in the upper part of the city and from there you can dominate the entire bay of Marina Lunga and Marina Corta and the lower city. Night at the mooring so you can comfortably go ashore.

THURSDAY - Filicudi - Lipari

Leg 7

FRIDAY - Lipari - Portorosa

We stop for a swim in Vulcano, mulberry granita while the most daring decide to climb the volcano. Back on board we head for Gelso, the southern part of the island, where we stop for a swim and for a last goodbye to the islands. Before sunset we set sail back to Sicily.

Dinner in a trattoria and overnight stay in Portorosa. For those with special needs, it is possible to disembark as early as Friday evening.

FRIDAY - Lipari - Portorosa

Leg 8

SATURDAY - Portorosa

It's time to say goodbye. The disembarkation is scheduled for 9 am, but the desire to get back on the road is very strong. We exchange addresses with our travel companions and leave with the promise of meeting again soon, another sea trip and many other islands are there waiting for us!

Esperienza promossa a pieni voti. Una settimana in barca a vela con uno skipper esperto e disponibile come Mario, è il modo migliore per visitare le isole Eolie. Abbiamo toccato tutte le isole navigando a vela (vento permettendo) e assaporando il fascino dei vulcani: Stromboli in attività by night e salita sull'orlo del cratere di Vulcano. Anche il mare offre bagni particolari con acque a 40°C a Vulcano e le emissione gassose della solfatarta di Lisca binaca. Mario è molto attento alla meteo e alla ricerca dei migliori ormeggi per il massimo confort degli ospiti. Vacanza consigliata.

Settimana alle Eolie bellissima e indimenticabile, seppur i primi 3 giorni sono stati caratterizzati dal tempo burrascoso, ma Mario ha saputo scegliere baie e posti sicuri. Skipper esperto e bravissimo a coinvolgerci nella gestione della barca e delle vele. Le Eolie sono una più bella dell'altra e l'escursione con guida allo Stromboli per vedere le eruzioni in notturna è stata emozionante ed unica, cosa che ha fatto dimenticare la fatica per salire sù e poi scendere.

Itinerario ben studiato, e con un crescendo di emozioni. Le isole, tutte diverse, regalano preziose ed intime sensazioni. Dalla mondana Panarea alla semplice Filicudi, ormeggiando tra Lipari e Salina, con una puntatina per un bagno termale a Vulcano, ed un girotondo notturno di sua maestà Stromboli che ci saluta a modo suo.... 7 giorni volati via velocemente, con Mario sempre pronto a consigliarci e a condurci alla scoperta di queste meravigliose isole. Capitano in tutto e per tutto. Grazie Mario. David e Claudia
