Aeolian Islands Cruise in Gulet 2026

Start & end in Milazzo 8 days Up to 14

About this trip

Eight days sailing around the seven volcanic Aeolian Islands aboard a wooden gulet, with time to swim, eat well and watch the coastline change from one bay to the next.

You're one of 14 passengers aboard a 26-metre boat with a crew of four, so it stays personal — everyone has a private cabin and bathroom, and the pace is set by the sea rather than a fixed itinerary.

Meals are a big part of it. The onboard chef cooks Aeolian and Sicilian dishes throughout, so lunches and dinners become as much a part of the trip as the islands themselves.

What you'll do

  • Sail between the seven volcanic Aeolian Islands
  • Anchor in sheltered bays for swimming and time in the water
  • Eat meals cooked onboard using Aeolian and Sicilian ingredients
  • Sleep in one of 7 private cabins aboard a 26-metre wooden gulet
  • Sail as part of a small group of 14 passengers with a 4-person crew
Good to know
  • Relaxed pace — this is a sailing trip built around bays and open water rather than packed sightseeing
  • All cabins have air conditioning and private bathrooms
  • Suits those who want to be on the water rather than moving between hotels each night
