8-Day Bareboat Sailing Charter – Aeolian Highlights from Capo d’Orlando aboard Beneteau Oceanis 51.1
Cast off from Capo d’Orlando Marina, a modern, easy-to-provision base on Sicily’s north coast, and enter the Aeolian Islands in record time. With sheltered slips, quality facilities, and swift access to the archipelago, this start line is perfect for sailors who want more time in coves and on volcanic trails and less time commuting at sea. Whether you follow the suggested loop or chart your own, your bareboat charter is fully yours to shape.
Made-to-measure support. Keep it purely bareboat or add an experienced skipper, hostess, or cook. Ask us about private transfers, provisioning at select bases, early check-in, and outboard engines. Every step is streamlined—so when you arrive, you’re simply ready to sail.
About Our Service in Capo d’Orlando & the Aeolian Islands
This route threads a greatest-hits tapestry of the Aeolians—steaming craters, midnight-black beaches, turquoise swim stops, cliff-perched villages, and the living theater of Stromboli’s eruptions. It’s a loop designed to feel unhurried while packing in character-rich stops and short, scenic passages.
Day 1 - Embarkation (from 17:00): Welcome at Capo d’Orlando Marina. Settle in, browse waterfront boutiques, and dine within sight of your yacht.
Day 2 - Capo d’Orlando to Vulcano (19 NM): Warm up with a short sail to mud baths, crater hikes, and black-sand swims at Porto di Levante.
Day 3 - Vulcano to Panarea (15 NM): Lagoon-blue anchorages beckon at Cala Junco and Drautto Bay. Evenings glow with stylish bars and breezy seaside dining.
Day 4 - Panarea to Stromboli (13 NM): Sail to the Tyrrhenian’s natural lighthouse. At dusk, circle Sciara del Fuoco or join a guided hike for lava shows against a starry sky.
