8 Days in Sicily
Milazzo - Vulcano
Leaving the Sicilian coast, the navigation leads towards the sculptural profiles of Vulcano, among lava rocks, dark beaches, and sulfurous vapors. An intense first encounter with the nature of the Aeolian Islands, ideal for immersing yourself in the archipelago’s primordial atmosphere.
Vulcano - Lipari
A short crossing separates Vulcano from Lipari, the largest and liveliest of the Aeolian Islands. The castle overlooking the sea, the houses clustered around the port, and the bright pumice walls introduce a stop where nature, history, and island life meet naturally.
Lipari - Salina
Salina, recognizable by its twin peaks and surprisingly green landscape. Vineyards, capers, small villages, and protected bays make up an authentic island, to be discovered following a slow and profoundly Mediterranean rhythm.
Salina - Panarea
Panarea appears as a small, luminous landing surrounded by rocks and islets. White houses, bougainvillea, and paths suspended over the sea define the most refined soul of the Aeolians, perfect for a day among secluded bays and elegant atmospheres.
Panarea - Stromboli
Stromboli offers one of the most evocative scenes of the entire journey. The volcano’s profile slowly emerges from the horizon, dominating black beaches and small seaside villages with a powerful and magnetic presence.
Stromboli
A day dedicated to Stromboli allows you to explore the island at a leisurely pace, among quiet alleys, whitewashed terraces, and cobalt blue waters. As evening falls, the volcano’s glow transforms the landscape into a natural spectacle that is hard to forget.
Stromboli - Filicudi
The route bends westward, crossing the heart of the archipelago to the most remote nature of Filicudi. Wild coasts, sea caves, and rock formations like La Canna accompany the arrival on an essential, authentic island still deeply connected to the sea.
Filicudi - Milazzo
The final navigation leads back towards the Sicilian coast, slowly leaving the volcanic profiles of the Aeolian Islands behind. A relaxed return, ideal for savoring the last hours on board and cherishing the memory of a journey marked by ever-changing islands.

GOOD TO KNOW
FAQ
How is the itinerary defined?
Each itinerary is tailored alongside the Captain and the charter team, based on the guests’ preferences, the duration of the cruise, and the desired destinations. Every detail is carefully planned to create a bespoke journey. The itinerary remains flexible and can be adapted during the cruise according to weather conditions, port availability, or guests’ needs, always under the Captain’s supervision.
Can the itinerary change during the cruise?
Yes. Weather and sea conditions can influence navigation and require adjustments to some stops. In these cases, the Captain will always propose alternatives designed to ensure comfort, safety, and the best possible experience on board.
Who decides the stops and navigation times?
The itinerary is agreed upon with the guests, but the Captain plays a key role thanks to their knowledge of the destination, navigation conditions, and best anchorages. Following their suggestions allows guests to experience a more authentic, relaxed, and safe cruise. Upon request, a proposed itinerary can be provided to maximize the cruising experience and highlight the features of the chosen destination.
What is the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance)?
The APA is an advance fund paid by the Charterer at least one month before departure, usually 25–30% of the charter fee for sailing yachts and 35–40% for motor yachts. This amount covers the operational expenses of the cruise, such as fuel, moorings, port taxes, provisions, and any additional requests made during the charter. Throughout the navigation, the Captain keeps track of all expenses and regularly updates the guests. At the end of the cruise, a detailed statement with supporting receipts will be provided: any unused funds will be refunded, while additional costs must be settled before disembarkation.
What are Delivery Fees?
Delivery Fees cover the cost of relocating the yacht to or from a port other than its base. They apply when the charter begins or ends in a location different from the yacht’s usual mooring. The fee is generally calculated based on fuel consumption, the distance to be covered, and the time required to transfer the yacht and crew. Delivery Fees can vary based on the season, yacht availability, and the schedule of previous or subsequent charters, and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
What is the Preference List?
At least one month before departure, the Charterer sends the Broker a Preference List with all the information necessary to customize the onboard experience. Through this document, guests can indicate dietary preferences, allergies or intolerances, special requests, and any other detail useful for the crew to prepare the cruise with the utmost care. This information allows the Captain, chef, and crew to organize every aspect of the service accurately and tailor-made, ensuring an experience perfectly aligned with the guests’ needs.
Is the crew gratuity included?
The crew gratuity is not included in the charter fee and is generally offered at the end of the cruise as a gesture of appreciation for the service received on board. In the yachting industry, it is customary to acknowledge an amount usually between 10% and 15% of the charter fee, although it remains entirely discretionary. It is an established practice in international chartering, which we share transparently to provide guests with a useful reference.
