Glide the electric-blue waters of the Aeolian archipelago aboard a gleaming private wooden gozzo or mahogany cruiser. Drift through sea caves, anchor off snow-white pumice beaches, and island-hop to glamorous Panarea — all at your own pace.
What to expect
Your skipper collects you directly from Lipari's Marina Corta and whisks you along the coastline at leisure. The pumice-dusted white cliffs near Cave di Pomice are photographed from the water, then you slip into a jade-green sea cave for a swim. En route to Panarea, prosecco and local Aeolian antipasti appear on deck. Arriving at Panarea by private boat lets you anchor in prime position and explore the Prehistoric Village on foot before heading back in golden-hour light.
Good to know
Book at least 2–4 weeks in advance in peak summer (June–September). Half-day (4h) options from approx. EUR 400 if a full day doesn't suit your port schedule. Confirm all-aboard time with your skipper at booking — most operators are expert at working around cruise schedules.
