Spend a 9h sailing around Furnari on a sailboat

Sailing among the enchanting Aeolian Islands aboard a sailboat during a summer week is an experience unlike any other. The crystalline waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea lull the boat, while the light wind pushes the sails, carrying you to heavenly destinations. The feeling of freedom is palpable, and the horizon opens up to breathtaking views.
Each island presents its own unique beauty, with rugged coastlines, hidden coves, and white-sand beaches lapped by turquoise waters. The sunlight paints golden hues on the volcanic cliffs, creating a picture of natural beauty that enchants every eye.
Life on board will be marked by peace and serenity. The days pass peacefully between relaxing navigation, anchoring in secluded coves, and swimming in transparent waters. The nights are magical, with the gentle sound of the waves lulling you to sleep and the starry sky reflecting on the sea.
Evenings ashore in the picturesque island towns offer the opportunity to savor local cuisine, rich in Mediterranean flavors. The aroma of traditional dishes mingles with the salty air, creating an unforgettable culinary experience.

THE BOAT: This is a beautiful sailboat, with 4 double cabins and 2 electric heads. Enjoy relaxing on the comfortable cushions in the cockpit and bow, which can be used as sundecks. The exterior amenities include a hot-water shower, a large awning, and a stereo with cockpit speakers. For sailing enthusiasts, the gennaker ensures exciting sailing downwind.
