Treat yourself to a special day exploring the Aeolian Islands! With our private RIB boat trip to Panarea and Stromboli from Milazzo, you can fall in love with this volcanic archipelago in just one day and discover black beaches, crystal clear waters, and dormant volcanoes.
We will leave from the marina of Santa Maria Maggiore, to sail along the promontory of Capo Milazzo and then cruise to the island of Stromboli where, with a little luck, we might spot some dolphins and sea turtles. Our first swim stop will be at the black pebble beach of Forgia Vecchia, reachable only on foot or by boat. Then we will reach the port of Stromboli, where we will stop for 2 hours. Here you will have the opportunity to have lunch in one of the typical restaurants of the island, visit the church of San Bartolomeo from the year 1801 and the observatory located near the crater of the volcano.
Then we will move on to the next stop on our trip, Sciara del Fuoco, where the volcano's eruptive debris pour out. As we navigate to Panarea, you will see Strombolicchio and the traditional village of Ginostra. Before docking in Panarea we will make a snorkeling stop near one of the islets of Panarea, and you can use our snorkeling equipment to explore the wonders hidden under the surface. The last stop of our trip will be at the port of Panarea for 1.5 hours, where you can explore the town and its local shops.
If you choose the trip with the 12 am departure, our journey will be in reverse and will start from the island of Panarea. We will then move to Stromboli to admire the volcanic activity at the Sciara del Fuoco with the lights of the sunset, enjoying a good aperitif on board.
I set this Private boat trip to Panarea and Stromboli from Milazzo for my girlfriends birthday, due to adverse weather conditions we were unable to do this on the date booked. But Guiseppe communicated the issue very well and provided a solution to complete the trip 2 days later before we finished our holiday. You could ask nothing more in this situation. On the day we travelled from where we were staying in Cefalu to Milazzo, parking near the marina was very easy and there was an abundance of spaces. We met our skipper for the day Darias and made our way to the boat, throughout the day he communicated really well and nothing was rushed, and no request was ever an issue. Panarea was a really lovely and quaint place to visit we had plenty of time for food and a drink or two, alongside a walk around. With lots of swim stops in different coves during the made cooling down in the 30+ degree heat very easy. One of the stops for swim was something we have never seen, arriving in a cove with a strong smell of sulphur. Darias invited us to swim and using the snorkels to look at the seabed. What we saw was an amazing sight of cracks in the seabed where bubbles of sulphur where being released. Then on to the main event and to Stromboli, we wasn't expecting to be able to step foot on an active volcano but to find a small community living on it was amazing to see and visit. We were able to walk around the properties and visit the shop, a very strange feeling to be stood on an active volcano. Back on the boat and it was time to move and have a drink before moving at sunset to see him erupting and enjoy an aperitif and antipasta provided by Darias. Watching the sunset behind as multiple eruptions occurred was an amazing sight to behold with nature showing its pure strength. Then when we were ready Darias set us back to the marina, the day was relaxing and exhilarating in equal measures and a once in a lifetime trip. Thank you to Guiseppe for seamless organisation and Darias for being a great skipper making the day the best it could be, a trip both my girlfriend and myself will remember for a long time.
Great experience! Very clean boat, in perfect condition and very well managed by Alessandro who was very pleasant and attentive all day. We would have stayed 15-20 minutes longer at Stromboli (magnificent explosions!) but it is true that the return is long despite the speed of the boat.
