We sail with a maximum of 6 guests. Each of the 4 cabins has its own bathroom.

On this wonderful sailing voyage we concentrate exclusively on the Aeolian archipelago. The trip begins in Milazzo, in the northeast of Sicily, near Messina. After the bunks are sorted out, we head to the nearest supermarket and stock up for the week with typical local specialities. Afterwards we get to know each other better over a delicious Sicilian dinner and enjoy the balmy late summer evening. The next morning, after a thorough boat and safety briefing, we cast off the lines. The yacht glides gently out of the harbour and begins to breathe the sea.

Off to the Aeolian Islands
It is only twenty miles to the island of Vulcano, which we head for first. Already when entering the bay the island lives up to its name. You can smell the volcano. Just before the beach the anchor drops and we refresh ourselves with a jump into the wonderful water. Afterwards we conjure up something delicious in the galley. The next morning we put on sturdy shoes and start our first crater expedition. Yellow patches are everywhere on the ground, from which sulphur vapour emerges. The reward for the three-quarter-hour climb is a magnificent all-round view over the archipelago.

In the afternoon it's anchor up, sails set and we head for the neighbouring island. The next few days are marked by island-hopping. No long passages are planned, the focus is on leisurely sailing, swimming, snorkelling and exploring the picturesque little towns. Filicudi, Salina, the main island Lipari with its pretty capital and Panarea, where there are no cars, are visited. From here you have a magnificent view of the neighbouring island Stromboli, which is our next destination.

Last year the absolute highlight was climbing the volcano with the entire crew. A three-hour guided tour takes you to the crater rim. Nine hundred metres of altitude are to be overcome and are rewarded with a spectacular view into the fire-spewing mountain. Far too quickly the days pass in this wonderful sailing area and we head back to Milazzo or another nearby marina, where we let this wonderful trip pass in review once more in a typical little restaurant
