The charm of fire and sea.

Your voyage through Sicily and the Aeolian Islands is uniquely tailored to you. From the fiery beauty of Stromboli to charming island villages, every detail reflects your perfect sailing experience.

Volcanic wonders and secluded anchorages

Sail through a dramatic seascape shaped by fire and time, where each island tells a story of volcanic majesty. Drop anchor in the serene waters of Panarea’s Cala Junco, an ancient natural amphitheater, or in the shadow of Stromboli’s active crater, where the night sky glows with fiery eruptions. With SAILUXE, you'll experience these stunning locations in unparalleled exclusivity, embraced by nature’s raw beauty.

Thrilling adventures on water and land

From snorkeling in the fumarole-warmed waters of Vulcano to paddleboarding through the crystal-clear coves of Filicudi, the Aeolian Islands offer endless ways to explore. Glide across the waves with seabobs, discover hidden sea caves accessible only by kayak, or embark on a guided trek to the summit of Stromboli, where a mesmerizing sunset meets the island’s legendary "Sciara del Fuoco" lava flow.

Authentic flavors and exclusive dining experiences

Indulge in the true taste of the Aeolian archipelago with exclusive culinary experiences. Relish a Michelin-starred dinner at Signum in Salina, savor fresh Malvasia wine and capers in a private tasting at a boutique vineyard, or let your private SAILUXE chef craft a bespoke onboard gourmet experience featuring the finest island ingredients.

Start your journey with an exhilarating hike to the summit of Vulcano. The panoramic view from the crater is simply unmatched, offering a stunning perspective of the entire archipelago. Feel the raw energy of the island beneath your feet and capture unforgettable moments in this dramatic volcanic setting.

A surreal experience awaits at Lipari’s Former Pumice Quarry Beach, where the water takes on an almost Caribbean hue. The contrast between the white pumice sands and the azure sea makes this an unmissable stop for a refreshing dip and a picture-perfect moment.

Indulge in the rich flavors of the Aeolian Islands’ Sicilian-inspired cuisine. Try the pan-seared swordfish, prepared Aeolian-style with the iconic cucunci (giant capers), and the rich assortment of rustici in the local delis. Finish with a sweet cannolo or a delicious granita for a true taste of the islands.

One of the most spectacular natural shows in the Mediterranean, the Stromboli volcano puts on a fiery display every evening. Whether you hike to the summit or watch the eruptions from the comfort of your luxury catamaran, this mesmerizing sight will be a highlight of your journey.

Salina is the heart of Aeolian wine culture, and no visit is complete without savoring a glass of its famous Malvasia delle Lipari. Visit a boutique vineyard perched above the sea, where you can indulge in tastings of this aromatic dessert wine, paired with the island’s renowned capers.

“The perfect blend of luxury and adventure.

Our crew anticipated every need while showing us hidden gems of the coast we never knew existed.”
