SATURDAY - Lipari
Our tour starts from Lipari, where from 18:00 on Saturday you can embark. Once settled in the cabin there will be a short organizational briefing with the skipper and then off to the village to enjoy the first evening all together and to get to know each other better!
SUNDAY - Panarea (2 HOURS)
On Sunday morning we leave, maybe after having had the typical Sicilian breakfast with granita & brioche. We will set sail towards the crystalline waters of the Pomice quarries for a first swim. Here you will be surprised by the turquoise and transparent water that will be very inviting for a nice dip!
We will continue the navigation by heading towards the island of Panarea, the most “chic”, frivolous and holiday-like of the seven, the “Capri” of the Aeolian Islands; we will have about 10 miles of navigation that, if the wind is favorable, we will do under sail, letting ourselves go to the sound of the hull that ploughs through the water.
We will anchor for the first time at Cala Zimmari, a perfect bay for venturing out with mask and fins in its crystal clear water.
In the late afternoon we will decide whether to stop here for the night or, at sunset, move in front of the village.
At dusk the Islands show themselves in all their beauty: the suggestion is given by nature that bursts with an extraordinary variety of colors and shades. As always, there are those who enjoy the sunset waiting to dine under the stars and those who instead cannot give up visiting the island for a walk through the white alleys surrounded by boutiques, to then meet at Raya, a club and disco, with one of the most beautiful terraces on the island.
MONDAY - Stromboli (2 HOURS)
On Monday morning it will be the turn of Lisca Bianca. This anchorage is a “must see stop” in the Aeolian Islands, not only for snorkeling but also for the solfataras.
Another point of extraordinary beauty among these small islands in front of Panarea is Basiluzzo, the largest of this small archipelago. Here it is beautiful to lose yourself among the mix of colors of the seabed and the turquoise water.
After swimming in the sulphurous waters of Panarea, we will set sail for Stromboli or “IDDU”, the most active volcano in Europe, so dear and feared by the islanders, unmistakable for its conical shape and the cloud of black smoke that almost perpetually hovers over its summit.
Once on land, it will be nice to meet up on the terrace of the Ingrid Bar for an aperitif together.
Dinner will be on a boat and if you wish it will be possible to circumnavigate the island to admire the spectacle of the “Sciara del Fuoco” after sunset, perhaps enjoying an arancino bought in a typical rotisserie on the island.
TUESDAY - Salina (3 HOURS)
The largest of the islands, with extraordinary beauty and variety of landscapes. The morning and lunch will be dedicated to the eastern part of the island, where we can admire the green seabed and the steep walls overlooking the sea of Capo Faro. In the afternoon we will sail towards Santa Marina, after a swim we will get ready to visit the town, colored by the caper flowers and the typical Aeolian houses, for those who wish, it will be possible to visit one of the many wine cellars on the island.
You can return by boat for dinner if you want or for those with a sweet tooth it’s time to pop over to Lingua where “pane cunzatu” and granita from Alfredo await you!
WEDNESDAY - Filicudi (2 HOURS)
On Wednesday morning we will sail to Filicudi, but first we will take a swim in the bay of Pollara made famous by the film "Il Postino". The beauty of this bay is characterized by a rock formation that creates a natural arch and by the small fishermen's deposits dug into the rock. After seeing Pollara, we will continue sailing to Filicudi and if we are lucky it will be possible to spot some dolphins or turtles!
Capo Graziano will host us for a swim, for those who love snorkeling, here they will have fun. We will then continue towards Pecorini a Mare, a cluster of fishermen's houses where in the evening the Saloon will be waiting for us, the legendary place that awaits us yachtsmen for its delicious Malvasia accompanied by Sicilian appetizers prepared by the ladies of the village and a cheerful chat under the stars.
THURSDAY - Volcano (3 HOURS)
On Thursday morning, as soon as we wake up, we have breakfast and head towards the west coast of Filicudi to admire up close “La canna (a rock formation of eruptive nature that rises from the sea to a height of about 74 metres above sea level) and the Montenassari rock”.
After a swim in the bluest blue, we set sail towards Vulcano, Ponente bay to prepare for a lively evening in town for lovers of nightlife or for a nice evening of chatting and company in the tranquility of the protected bay waiting for one of the most suggestive sunsets of the Aeolian Islands…
FRIDAY - Vulcano – Lipari
The day of the return to Lipari…but the cruise is not over yet! Today we will move to the south side of Vulcano, here there are two beautiful bays: Baia di Gelso and Baia della spiaggia del Cannitello, also these with black sand. In Baia di Gelso you can have lunch at the famous Ristorante da Pina. In the bay of the Cannitello beach, a bar is open for a happy hour or aperitif on the beach accompanied by dance music.
A final swim at sunset in the shadow of the Faraglioni of Lipari is a worthy conclusion to this splendid week spent together.
Saturday morning disembarkation by 9am.
