This experience, in a nutshell

Leaving Palermo means starting your holiday in the best possible way: easily, without racing against time, in a city that already tastes of the Mediterranean, where you can breathe culture, history and hospitality. Once you have cast off, you leave the mainland and enter a different rhythm: that of the sea, the wind, the sun rising and setting on ever new horizons.


Sailing to the Aeolian Islands is already part of the experience. You become familiar with the boat, with the crew, with the time slowing down. You begin to experience the sea from the inside, leaving behind the routine and rediscovering the pleasure of simple things.


The Aeolian Islands are not just islands: they are places that speak to the soul. Seven different sisters, each with their own character, their own energy, their own strength. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, they show themselves in all their wild, authentic and never banal charm. Just like the seven chakras, each one represents an emotion, a vibration, a nuance of the human soul. Visiting these islands from the sea is an experience that involves all the senses, and that remains etched inside.


On a boat, you live day by day: you explore bays that seem to be designed, you snorkel in transparent waters, you cook together or go ashore for a typical dinner, you sleep under the stars or wake up to the sound of the waves. A special balance is created between freedom and sharing, between nature and discovery.


You don't need to be an expert sailor, you just need to want to be surprised. On board you will find a welcoming, relaxed environment in which you can feel at home, even if you are in the middle of the sea. My goal is to make you live an intense, authentic week, made up of moments that remain!


And on the way back, when you return to Palermo with your face kissed by the sun and your heart full of emotions, you understand that this was not just a holiday: it was a journey that leaves its mark.

Leg 1

Alicudi about Filicudi

The departure is scheduled from Cala di Palermo to head to Alicudi or Filicudi, the wildest and most unspoiled. In Filicudi you cannot fail to anchor in Pecorini where a rich variety of local dishes will await you on land to represent the best that Sicily has to offer at the table.

Leg 2

Salina

Salina, the green island, surprises with its natural elegance and its perfect balance between land and sea. The stacks that rise from the deep blue invite you to unforgettable dives, while the panoramic paths offer spectacular views of vineyards and hills. Its village, well-kept and welcoming, is the perfect place for an evening stroll and an unforgettable granita.

Leg 3

Panarea

Panarea is the island of the contrast between wild nature and social life. Its rocky bays are perfect for suggestive anchorages, while the small white village conquers with its narrow streets, elegant clubs and sparkling atmosphere. Those looking for a touch of glamour will find it here without forcing, immersed in a postcard landscape.

Leg 4

Stromboli

Stromboli is the island of fire and primordial power. Its active volcano, which gives its name to the type of Strombolian eruption, offers unique night shows, especially if experienced from the boat or after a hike to the summit with torches. And then there is Strombolicchio, the mythical rock that stands out against the sky. For those looking for strong emotions, Stromboli is an unforgettable stop.

Leg 5

Lipari

Lipari, the largest of the archipelago, is history, culture and beauty. Its castle has resisted attacks from the sea for centuries, and today offers a spectacular vantage point. The churches, the narrow streets of the center, the roadsteads with clear seabeds and the famous white pumice beach make up a perfect mosaic for those who want to explore, relax and discover.

Leg 6

Volcano

Finally, Vulcan impresses with its magnetic energy and its lunar landscape. The thermal pools, with their sulphurous scent, are a true sensory experience, while the trek to the crater offers one of the most exciting views of the entire archipelago. Going up there and seeing the other islands from a single point is something that remains etched forever.

The hidden jewels of the Aeolian Islands sailing from Palermo

La destinazione è stupenda e si riescono a vedere le zone principali delle isole. Purtroppo il tempo a disposizione è poco per visitarle bene considerando che il primo ed il penultimo giorno sono di viaggio e che l’ultima mattina è solo per il check out. L’esperienza nel complesso è andata bene ma è stata in parte rovinata dal fatto che il frigorifero non ha mai raggiunto una temperatura di conservazione del cibo perché ogni qualvolta ci fermavamo veniva spento. Purtroppo abbiamo dovuto buttare molto cibo che è andato a male visto che il pozzetto era perennemente a temperatura ambiente. Probabilmente basterebbe avvisare in anticipo l’equipaggio di non acquistare cibo che necessita di stare in frigorifero. La barca va bene per 6 passeggeri oltre allo skipper. In 8 persone si sta un pochino stretti, in particolare nella camera da 3 posti letto. Sarebbero stati utili anche i cuscini intorno al tavolo ed al timone (come visibili nelle attuali foto 6, 8 e 14). Consiglio di metterli per il prossimo charter per stare più comodi.

Bellissima esperienza! Le isole sono fantastiche e Gaetano è stato di buona compagnia. Sempre gentile e pronto ad ascoltare le nostre esigenze. Barca funzionale, perfetta per sei passeggeri.

Bella esperienza, posti fantastici. Lo skipper è stato molto disponibile, ha assecondato le nostre richieste con gentilezza. Clima leggero e piacevole. Da segnalare alcune disattenzioni per quanto riguarda la pulizia della barca e utensili da cucina (assenza di canovacci, coltelli per cucinare, portaposate non molto igienico). Durante la settimana il frigor ha funzionato a fasi alterne, con qualche problema di conservazione del cibo. Nonostante Gaetano sia sempre stato disponibile è da sollecitare piu volte per i vari inconvenienti che possono capitare. Barca solida e confortevole per 6 persone, in 7 si sta stretti soprattutto nella camera da 3 ma in compenso si guadagna un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
