Portorosa one-week bareboat
- Relaxed sailing with consistent winds and volcanic islands
- Clear, warm waters ideal for snorkelling
- Spectacular black sand beaches
- Europe’s second largest active volcano
- Short passages between Aeolian islands
The temperate weather and mild winds of north-east Sicily make our newest Mediterranean base a great starting point for tours of the Sicilian coast, or voyages north around the remarkable, UNESCO-protected Aeolian Islands. A collection of dramatic islands and dormant volcanoes that rise theatrically from the sea, they aptly take their name from Aeolus, god of the winds, who tends to smile on this slice of Italy.
Set a course for Stromboli and marvel at the scale and lava-spewing force of Europe’s second-largest active volcano. It’s not all rugged cliffs and steaming craters though; the Aeolian Islands also have a softer, more beautiful side, with sandy beaches and lush greenery protected by natural harbours. Head to Vulcano for superb swimming, spectacular views and black rock formations; or discover the lush vegetation of unspoilt Salina, punctuated by three enormous peaks.
Charter a yacht from our Portorosa base, unfurl your sails in the shimmering Mediterranean and weave between a string of sensational Aeolian Islands. Use our Aeolian islands sailing itinerary to help you make the most of this mystical land of volcanoes, sea caves and black sand beaches.
Enjoy relaxed sailing grounds and consistent winds on one of our flotilla charters in the Aeolian Islands. Cast off from our base Portorosa and explore Italy’s most desirable coastlines as you dine on magnificent cuisine. Soak up Italian culture whilst making your way around volcanic islands on a week-long adventure along the Sicilian coast and Aeolian Islands.
