Couldn't recommend more! Valerio was so incredibly helpful from the beginning. Went above and beyond to help organise an affordable transfer for our group prior to the trip, as well was so responsive which was great. The actual boat day was so much fun, great staff, accommodating, food was just what we wanted - even had some cakes provided for birthdays. Not to mention it was super clean and the crew went beyond to make sure it stayed that way throughout. If you have one activity to do on your trip it's organise a boat day with valerio!

The Eolian islands are nice to sail around. Harbours can be expensive like in Salina or buoys in Panarea. Avoid these. There are some nice places to visit, cool views and interesting volcanic activities to witness. The wind is special here and not always very accurate with the forecast do be aware of changes in force and direction.

Great sailing area. Harbour fees are very expensive, however. There are a few anchorages. On Stromboli, mooring buoys are put out towards the end of May (we got a private one by chance because we were there earlier).
Tolles Segelrevier. Hafengebühren sind allerdings sehr teuer. Es gibt aber einige Ankerbuchten. Auf Stromboli werden gegen Ende Mai Festmacherbojen ausgebracht (wir hatten durch Zufall eine private ergattert, da wir früher dort waren).

Gorgeous Tyrrenian sea was like a mill pond on that week as there was no wind. The Aeolian people are nice, friendly and helpful. It would have been more fun with a bit of wind. Unfortunately in the Med there is never the right wind: either too little or too much. An additional local snag is the very fast hydrofoils that frequently travel between Sicily and the Aeolian Islands; you have to be very careful not to get in their way
