The starting point is Capo d'Orlando, and the marina is easily accessible by plane, train, transfer, or car. From Capo d'Orlando, we reach the Aeolian Islands in 3 to 4 hours.
We meet on Saturday from about 4 pm at the yacht, or later, depending on arrival,
Cast off is Sunday morning - after breakfast.
Our sailing trips are "active sailing" and all work on the boat is done together; as a team, we trim our yacht for a fast cruise.
Helpful information:
Getting there: There are many good flight connections from all over Europe to Palermo and also Catania, Sicily. From there, you can easily reach the Capo d'Orlando marina, our starting point, by train or transfer.
Even with your own car, you can easily reach Palermo by ferry from Genoa or Livorno. This option is especially recommended if you want to spend a few days exploring Sicily before or after your tour, which is definitely recommended – it's well worth seeing.
Check-in on the yacht is expected to be possible from approximately 5:00 PM on Saturday (or later, depending on your arrival time). We usually use Sunday to organize the remaining details with the ship, authorities, etc.
Weather permitting, we can set sail after breakfast toward the Aeolian Islands. On most of our Sicily tours, we sail to the following islands: Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi, etc. (However, departures are possible).
Return after the cruise - arrival in the home port is planned for Friday afternoon or possibly early evening. You can sleep on the yacht, but you must disembark at approximately 8:00 a.m. on Saturday after breakfast.
Return journey: Since you'll be returning to your home port on Friday evening, the return flight could possibly be on Friday evening if you can book a better or cheaper flight. The yacht is moored in the "Capo d'Orlando" marina in northern Sicily – just below the Aeolian Islands.
What to bring: Light oilskins/rain and wind protection, boat shoes with light, non-slip soles, swimwear, summer clothes, a passport, teamwork skills, and a good mood, etc. We always send you further information about travel, clothing, and your yacht, etc., with your booking documents. You are welcome to bring your own fishing gear (sometimes it's worth it). A fishing license is not required for this region.
