About the experience

Experience the Aeolian Islands aboard an elegant 12-meter Cranchi Zaffiro, a sporty, fast, and among the most comfortable vessels in its class, perfect for a day cruise or a multi-day cruise dedicated to relaxation and discovery.

- For a day trip, it can accommodate up to 10 passengers (but a maximum of 8 is recommended for greater comfort).
- For multi-day overnight stays, a maximum of 2 passengers.

Designed to offer maximum onboard comfort, it features two separate cabins, a head, a fully equipped galley, air conditioning, and numerous onboard amenities, including a double refrigerator, indoor and outdoor showers with hot water, a generator, a hydraulic gangway, a large bow sundeck, a sun awning, and underwater lights to enjoy the sea even in the evening.

On board, you can enjoy sailing between the islands, alternating swimming stops, relaxation, and time to explore the villages and unique atmospheres of the archipelago.

The boat is always helmed by a professional Captain, an expert in the Aeolian Islands, who will accompany you safely as you discover the islands.

The price includes the Captain, soft drinks, and final cleaning. It does not include fuel, food, ports (if you wish to disembark on an island for lunch or a visit), and any hostess/cook.

Main embarkation point is Milazzo (where the boat is based). Upon request and with separate arrangements, embarkation/disembarkation options are also available in all the Aeolian Islands, Messina, Reggio Calabria, Scilla, Villa San Giovanni, Taormina, and Tropea.

An authentic and comfortable way to experience the Aeolian Islands from the sea, in complete freedom.

Ricardo (and Brenda, the boat) were absolutely delightful. Great captain, very professional with a lot of interesting facts to tell about the islands. Ricardo took us to beautiful swimming spots and dropped us for lunch in a very nice place! The boat is perfectly maintained and was above our expectations. I highly recommend this adventure! Thank you Ricardo!!!!

What an outstanding captain! Riccardo goes above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. His expertise on the water is immediately clear, and he knows exactly where to take you—the most stunning bays around Lipari and the nearby islands during a full-day tour. The boat itself was spacious, modern, and well-stocked with drinks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Riccardo, for an unforgettable day on the water!

Riccardo is very friendly and reliable, knows the area very well and has shown us beautiful spots while explaining a bit about the history and background of the places. He had drinks, a little snack, goggles, towels, etc on board, so nothing was missing. Also recommended a nice restaurant for lunch. We were very happy with our trip.

Ricardo was very nice to us from the beginning! Communication was perfect ! The boat is amazing and very clean! We choose some tours with beautiful places to swim with turcoise waters. Ricardo is a very experienced navigator as he was in the marine coast for many years and we fully trusted him. Also, the music he choose was very fun and nice! Truly recomand it for a trip to Sicily
