9 day Tyrrhenian yachting adventure

Sitting serenely in the Gulf of Naples, Ischia is an international tourist destination, offering crystal clear waters, unspoiled landscapes and cultural sites. Its rugged coasts are characterized by a succession of headlands, coves and beaches. The island, of volcanic origin, hides in its underground a concentration of thermal springs and a variety of waters that makes Ischia the capital of European spa.

An island that offers a landscape of wild beauty sculpted by wind, sea and the hand of man, this is Capri. With a precipitous, jagged coast, and encircled by the famous faraglioni (sea stacks), enormous and uniquely-shaped boulders, and by numerous caves that tell of evocative plays of light.

Italy’s Amalfi Coast boasts a classic Mediterranean landscape, a sensual blend of both natural and cultural wonders. The breath taking terrain includes dramatic coastline topography scattered with terraced vineyards, orchards, and pastures—often with enchanting views of the vibrant waters below.

Stromboli, a privately owned island that provides excellent snorkelling and diving spots. Stromboli’s ‘Black Giant’’ is a volcano that is currently active and has erupted on many occasions; the last major eruption was on August 29th 2019. Other than breath taking landscapes and natural vistas, Stromboli itself has little to offer. This is when numerous guided walks can be arranged to the summit.

Exclusive and fashionable, Panarea is the smallest of the Aeolian islands and is host to beautiful waters and tranquil vistas. You will spend the day anchored here where you and your guests can spend hours on end playing in the water. In the afternoon dine at the hillside village of Raya, where the view and cuisine will take your breath away. The island’s unique atmosphere and enchanting isolation has made it the ideal destination with some of the world’s jet-setters. You may have the chance to bump into while exploring the inland plazas and cafes, or if you stay to enjoy the intimate nightlife scene.

It is not just the beaches that attract tourists throughout the year, but also a vast cultural heritage, rich history, and lush natural vistas and sights. It is the greenest of all the islands in the archipelago. The food and wine here on the island is accentuated by the foundations like freshly caught fish and the famous capers of Salina.

Lipari is the largest of the Aeolian Islands and is relatively close southern Italy. Livelier than all the other islands, Lipari is host to some welcoming and hospitable people, who will invite you into their little community with open arms. Explore the city centre where you can do some souvenir shopping, or perhaps you would prefer to visit the archaeological museum and stroll through Lipari Cathedral.

With its visibly smoking crater and vile sulphurous fumes, Vulcano makes an indelible first impression. The island’s volcanic nature has long been impressing visitors: the ancient Romans believed it to be the chimney of the fire god Vulcan’s workshop, and today it remains famous for its therapeutic mud baths and hot springs. The main drawcard, however, remains the Fossa di Vulcano (Gran Cratere), the steaming volcano that towers over the island’s north-eastern shores.

For many, the prime reason for setting foot in this town is to head for the hydrofoil docks and set sail for the Aeolian Islands. But, away from its refineries and industrial port development, Milazzo boasts an impressive hilltop castle and a pretty Borgo Antico (Old Town), and the isthmus that juts out to the north is an area of great natural beauty dotted with rocky coves, well worth a visit for those with time to spare.
