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.

This is the fourth time we have sailed in the Aeolian Islands and it is always a great pleasure even if we would like to have a little more wind.

3 friends and I had an amazing day with Fabrizio on his sailboat. Communication and organization was quick and easy, historical information provided was informative, and we were blessed with wind allowing us to sail! He generously provided us with arranged transportation back to our accommodation as well as a dinner recommendation and reservation that was the best we have had in Sicily. This was our favorite day in Palermo!

Fabrizio is a great captain and a great host! We sailed around the bay, caught some wind, and saw the sites along the way. Afterward, he brought me to a locals’ food spot, and we sampled most of everything. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our experience ! It was a beautiful day on the sailboat, with pasta, snorkelling (and gear was provided) and beautiful beaches and coves. Gaspare was super friendly and a great host, you can tell he’s passionate about sailing. He spoke Italian and French, but we managed with google translate just fine. The sailboat is on an older side, but we loved our experience nonetheless.

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.

C'est la quatrième fois que nous naviguons dans les îles Éoliennes et c'est toujours un grand plaisir même si on aimerait avoir un peu plus de vent.
