The magic of the Aeolian Islands

Off the north-east coast of Sicily, the Aeolian Islands – Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi and Alicudi – are a small corner of paradise. The archipelago of the Aeolian Islands, recognised a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000, is the most famous and sought-after in the Mediterranean Sea thanks to its unique characteristics: crystal clear waters attract lovers of the sea, swimmers, sailors and divers, but not only that. The breath-taking volcanic landscapes, combined with the architecture of the ancient age and the delicious scent of cannoli, Malvasia and fresh fish, make the Aeolian Islands one of the most fascinating destinations in Italy.

Covid

If you are looking for a holiday in total safety, renting a catamaran or a sailboat is perfect for you, because you can visit unforgettable landscapes and experience the sea, avoiding the crowd of the beaches and crowded places
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we adopted extra safety and hygiene measures. All boats are cleaned and sanitized before every charter, to ensure maximum comfort and safety on board.
We also offer the opportunity to stipulate an insurance (at the time of booking) which guarantees the reimbursement to the customer in case of missed departure due to restrictions.

In the baggage

What to pack for a sailing holiday

For a sailing holiday, it is always advisable to pack your clothes in a soft bag, which can be folded and easily stowed. A medium-sized bag also gives you the measure of how many clothes to pack.

Clothing

The sailing holiday includes two basic looks so as not to be caught off guard by temperature changes. The first one includes swimsuit, t-shirt, shorts, light shirts, a light sweater; it is better to choose clothes of light colours (preferably white) and cotton. The other one includes a sweater, shirts and heavier trousers and clothes. Do not forget a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, but also a waterproof jacket.

Shoes and slippers

It is preferable to stay barefoot on board, but if you wish to wear shoes it is good practice to use them only on the boat and that they have a white sole. A pair of slippers or flip-flops for the shower and a pair of walking shoes are more than enough to complete the ashore kit.

Sun creams

Essential! One, two, three sun creams with different protection degrees, to protect yourself against UV rays that are even more burning at sea. Try to choose sustainable products: safe for your skin and safe for the marine ecosystem.

Seasickness

Everyone suffers it, some more and some less. Therefore, use specific pharmaceuticals and scopolamine patches, while bracelets are – from experience – decidedly ineffective.

The ideal kit

Here are the items you should never forget: baseball cap, jack-knife, sun creams, personal pharmacy with specific products, camera, toiletries, sunglasses with retainer, watch, small torch, binoculars.

No drugs are allowed on board.

Payments and cancellations

Rental costs are paid in advance with 2 instalments: 50% upon booking and 50% 30 days before departure.
If the departure date is lower than 30 days, the full amount (100%) shall be paid at the time of booking.

Cancellation costs vary and are defined in the Charter Contract.
We also offer the opportunity to stipulate an insurance which guarantees the reimbursement to the customer in case of missed departure.
