Boat rental in the Aeolian Islands – suggested itinerary!
Boat rental in the Aeolian Islands – discover the wonderful Sicilian islands: Lipari, Salina, Stromboli, Vulcano, Panarea, Filicudi and Alicudi. Being part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the history of the Aeolian Islands dates back at least 5,000 years with evidence of prehistoric villages, ruins, excavations, pottery and tools. The origin is volcanic and the combination of the warmth of the Sicilian sun, the volcano and the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean is surprising.
DAY 1
The chosen yacht will most likely be moored in Milazzo or Capo D’Orlando, where you can embark in one of the two ports. Everything will be seasoned with welcome cocktails, dinner on board and a presentation of the yacht and crew.
DAY 2
Exploration of the Vulcano Island, lunch at anchor in Porto di Ponente. Later in the afternoon, set sail for Porto di Levante and moor there for the night. You can also see the Great Crater, the only active volcano on the island.
DAY 3
Explore the beautiful area of Vulcano Island. Swim in the hot mineral springs that flow from the seabed and take a bath in the mud. Here you can observe numerous volcanic phenomena, from clouds of smoke, steam jets (both at the mouth of the volcano and under the sea) and pools of sulphurous mud known for their therapeutic properties.
DAY 4
Morning navigation of the yacht to Filicudi Island, anchorage in Porto Filicudi for lunch. In the afternoon sailing to the island of Lipari, the largest of the seven inhabited Aeolian islands. Great place for shopping, the city is great fun to walk around and has a lively atmosphere in the summer months.
DAY 5
The yacht continues its navigation towards the Island of Stromboli. Lunch at anchor and visit of the oldest lighthouse in the world. The volcano is active but it is not dangerous! The lucky visitors could attend the Sciara del Fuoco, the lava flow that descends into the sea. Other places to visit that we recommend are: San Vincenzo, the medieval village surrounded by very particular white houseboats; the isolated fishing village of Ginostra that clings to the rocky flank of Stromboli, accessible only through paths; and Strombolicchio, a giant boulder – obviously born from an eruption – surmounted by a large lighthouse.
DAY 6
Navigation beyond Isola Panarea to Isola Salina. Yacht mooring in Santa Marina Salina. Island characterized by a relaxed pace, beauty and excellent cuisine.
DAY 7
Around lunchtime navigation of the yacht with destination Isola Alicudi; the latter has about 140 inhabitants who all live on fishing and agriculture in the only populated center, the port of Alicudi. This island is also of volcanic origin. Return to Isola Vulcano for dinner.
DAY 8
Early departure to Milazzo for disembarkation.
