About Our Service in Capo d’Orlando and the Aeolian Islands
This premium base is known for modern docks, helpful harbor staff, and a setting that looks across to the islands you’ll explore. Your skipper manages route planning and daily safety while you select coves, village visits, and dinner settings. The service is flexible by design: provisioning lists, early check-in, and private transfers can be arranged ahead of time. The booking flow is simple and attentive, ensuring your preferences are understood before you arrive.
Day 1: Capo d’Orlando – Embark from 17:00. After the safety briefing, wander the waterfront and choose an aperitivo spot overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Sleep aboard in the marina, ready for island waters in the morning.
Day 2: Capo d’Orlando - Vulcano (19 NM) – A short, satisfying sail introduces steaming fumaroles, therapeutic mud baths, and the black beach textures of Vulcano. Hike the Gran Cratere for a sweeping orientation to the archipelago before a sunset swim.
Day 3: Vulcano - Panarea (15 NM) – Slide northeast to Panarea’s immaculate anchorages. Swim over bright sand patches, tender ashore to whitewashed lanes, and consider dinner on the waterfront. Boutique charm and a lively evening scene await.
Day 4: Panarea - Stromboli (13 NM) – One of the Mediterranean’s most dramatic silhouettes, Stromboli offers night-time lava displays that you can appreciate from deck or via a guided boat tour along the Sciara del Fuoco. It is an unforgettable natural theater.
Day 5: Stromboli - Salina (24 NM) – The green heart of the Aeolians greets you with vineyards and terraced hillsides. Choose Santa Marina or Rinella for a shore visit. Wine tasting, caper shops, coastal walks, and unhurried cafés define the afternoon.
Day 6: Salina - Lipari (9 NM) – A leisurely hop to Lipari brings bustling lanes, the citadel, and optional island tours to pumice cliffs and panoramic viewpoints. The evening belongs to seafood, gelato, and an easy stroll along the marina.
Day 7: Lipari - Capo d’Orlando (22 NM) – Your return leg is a gentle sail across open water with Sicily’s highlands astern. Arrive by 18:00 for check-in formalities, then toast the week at a marina restaurant or dine quietly aboard.
Day 8: Disembarkation in Capo d’Orlando – At 09:00, say goodbye to the boat and crew with the islands’ colors fresh in mind.
