A journey through sea, volcanoes and wild nature
Set sail with us for a unique experience amidst wind, sea, and volcanic landscapes.
A week by sailing boat and on foot to discover the Aeolian Islands from an authentic perspective: sailing between islands of fire, pumice coves and ancient fishing villages.
We will visit Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Panarea, Stromboli and the spectacular Sciara!
Expert guides

The skipper (national sailing instructor) is available, for those who wish, to teach the sailing and management of the sailing yacht.
A sustainable journey
We'll prefer sailing and stopping in bays rather than ports, to enjoy the sea, nature, and onboard cuisine. There will, however, be plenty of stops on land, with visits to the charming villages of the Greek islands and their taverns brimming with the culinary delights of Ulysses's heirs. We'll divide the sailing and cooking duties, respecting our fellow travelers and, above all, the places we visit, mindful of minimizing our impact on nature and the surrounding ecosystem. On a boat, you learn to consciously use resources.

Participation in the experience entitles you to membership in the Sports Association and therefore travel insurance coverage.

  • Plan
    Saturday Sunday
    Boarding scheduled for Friday, we get the galley and then we set sail to head to Vulcano, here we can decide whether to enjoy the hot and therapeutic muds or take an excursion on the volcano, or both. If it gets late we leave the next morning.

    Sunday Monday
    We continue towards Lipari where you can also swim if you want. The first stop (on the largest island of the Aeolian Islands) are the pumice quarries, which have been closed for years, but the sea has remained white, a spectacle that can only be matched by the Maldives.

    Monday Tuesday
    Forward towards Salina (the Postman's island) is there a few miles away, here a nice bathroom maybe in Pollara, famous because Pablo Neruda lived here.

    Wednesday Thursday
    Route to Filicudi. If we're lucky the dolphins will keep us company! Filicudi is sparsely populated, fishermen and VIPs in search of peace. The town is small, the roads climb up and the sea is transparent. A barrel bath at sunset and then at anchor in Pecorini, a beautiful village full of gastronomic offers with Sicilian specialties.

    Thursday Friday
    If you want to see the Sciara, or the Stromboli fire, you must leave early. On the way a swim in Panarea (famous for its nightlife and loved by VIPs) then head north to get to Stromboli at sunset. And in Stromboli, on the last night of our tour, you don't sleep waiting for the red lava flow that leaves you with bated breath as you slide towards the sea from the crater. After that we just have to go back to the starting point bringing with us the indelible images of this wonderful tour thanking (if it was propitious) Aeolus.

I've been sailing for over 30 years, taking sailing courses on Caprera, numerous Soling, Tornado, and Star class regattas, and cruising aboard 37- to 45-foot cabin cruisers in Greece, the Mediterranean, the Balearics, the Alboran Sea, the Ionian, and the Adriatic. I'm a member of the Mandello del Lario Naval League. I've been sailing in Greece since 2015 with my own 48-foot Viva 48.

Boat details

Progettatta da Alfeo Scattolin con l'intento di realizzare un vero e proprio ocean racer di razza con interni da crociera, senza nulla sacrificare alle prestazioni. I volumi sono distribuiti su un notevole galleggiamento (m.12) il che, associato ad una buona larghezza, consente molta elasticità nella distribuzione dei carichi. Questa caratteristica, spesso trascurata, è invece fondamentale per una barca pensata per diverse esigenze, dalla regata alla crociera a lungo raggio. Questa barca si è dimostrata particolarmente affidabile in condizioni di vento forte. Il dislocamento è di 10 tonnellate con una zavorra di 4 tonnellate. Chi apprezza il sapore vintage degli interni in massello rispetto ai plasticoni tipici delle barche da charter sarà soddisfatto. A vela è un piacere navigare, è veloce e stabile, risente poco il mare grazie alla chiglia poderosa (pesca 2,7m). La coperta in teak assicura una buona tenuta in ogni condizione. La dislocazione degli ambienti è così composta: a prua ampia cabina con 4 posti su due livelli, andando verso poppa ci sono due bagni, una cabina matrimoniale a sinistra e una singola a dritta, un'ampia dinette con cucina fornita di 3 lavelli, fornelli e forno, frigo, tavolo da carteggio, a poppa sulla sinistra ampia cabina matrimoniale, sulla dritta stanza per lo skipper.

    I could not be more satisfied with the experience in the Ionian crossing with Leo. He is a friendly, prudent captain with great knowledge of the area. He is a great person and an excellent cook! The boat is very comfortable, clean and a delight to navigate. If you are thinking about Greece, Leo is your captain!! :D
