Description

The archipelago of the Aeolian Islands without any doubt a jewel of the Mediterranean, full of myths and fascination. Active volcanoes design a violent and savage landscape. Crystal clear waters wet black sand beaches, coves and caves full of color and life. Typical villages stand still where time seems have stopped.

Our boats have all the conveniences of a modern yacht with the charm of an old wooden schooner. The Gulet is large and comfortable, with sunbathing areas, Wifi, air conditioning and private bathrooms in each cabin. An expert, friendly and helpful crew will lead you throughout the charter. All the rest is transmitted and comes from the Aeolian Islands.
