Amazing experience from start to finish. Staff were so helpful and friendly. We were shown how to use all of the instruments and given instructions. The boat was clean and in good order. We had a wonderful experience.

Great day out. Met on time at marina and given good briefing and ice for drinks. Boat big enough and engine good size to cover a lot of sea in the 5 hrs or so we used it for. Various speeds ended up using around 60 euros of fuel. Even so good value for money

Get a boat app before you start. The boat has no navigation set nor maps. The area is beautiful with many small bays.

Stromboli, Panarea and Salina are important destinations. A start from Palermo with a city tour before and after the sailing trip is recommended. The relaxed and inexpensive journey by (new) train to Capo d'Orlando is also recommended. By taxi or shuttle you would pay up to €400 per trip. By train it is only €14 per person. There are even taxis that cooperate with the port and take sailors to and from the port for €5 per person.
Stromboli, Panarea und Salina sind wichtige Ziele. Ein Start von Palermo mit Stadtbesichtigung vor und nach dem Segeltörn sind empfehlenswert. Ebenso die entspannte und günstige Anreise mit dem (neuen) Zug nach Capo d‘Orlando ist zu empfehlen. Per Taxi oder Shuttle würde man pro Fahrt bis zu 400€ zahlen. Mit der Bahn sind es nur 14€ pro Person. Es gibt sogar Taxis die mit dem Hafen kooperieren und Segler für 5€/Person dann vom und zum Hafen bringen.
