Day 1: Welcome aboard the KB-SC Gulei 1 at Marina del Nettuno. Guests are greeted with refreshments, a yacht briefing, and time to explore Milazzo’s historic district. The evening brings the first of many Sicilian-inspired dinners and a quiet night moored at the marina or anchored just offshore.

Day 2: The voyage begins with a longer sail to Filicudi, a wild and dramatic island untouched by mass tourism. Guests can swim beneath towering rock formations like La Canna and explore the shimmering Grotta del Bue Marino. A walk through Pecorini a Mare reveals a slow-paced village life, perfect for an early evening cocktail with sea views.

Day 3: After breakfast, the yacht sets a course for Alicudi, one of the most remote destinations in the Aeolian group. Here, life moves at a donkey’s pace-literally. The lack of cars makes it a peaceful retreat, ideal for scenic hikes and quiet beachside moments. Stargazing in the evening is unmatched in this isolated paradise.

Day 4: A morning sail leads to Salina, a green, garden-like island known for its wine and local produce. Guests can swim in the iconic Pollara Bay, hike Monte Fossa delle Felci, or enjoy tastings at a boutique vineyard. The day closes with traditional Sicilian cuisine in Santa Marina, overlooking the island’s western coast.

Day 5: The energy picks up with a visit to Lipari, the largest island in the chain. Explore the Lipari Castle complex, enjoy a cultural stop at the Archaeological Museum, or shop along the lively Corso Vittorio Emanuele. A swim at Spiaggia Bianca and a relaxed dinner ashore or on deck cap off a day of vibrant island life.

Day 6: Panarea and Stromboli share the spotlight today. After snorkeling near Lisca Bianca and strolling through chic San Pietro, the yacht heads toward Stromboli. The afternoon offers downtime on the beach or an adventurous hike up the volcano. After sunset, guests gather on deck to witness the breathtaking Sciara del Fuoco display of glowing lava flowing into the sea.

Day 7: On the final full day, Vulcano greets guests with its raw geothermal energy. The famous Laghetto di Fanghi mud baths and the scenic Gran Cratere hike are highlights, followed by a swim at Baia delle Sabbie Nere. As the yacht sails back toward Milazzo, a final stop near Pietra Lunga invites one last dip in the Ionian waters. The farewell dinner is a toast to a voyage filled with beauty and inspiration.

Day 8: Guests enjoy a final breakfast on board before disembarking at 9:00 a.m., closing the journey with new friendships, deeper cultural connections, and lasting memories of Sicily’s island jewels.
