Sail under the stars aboard a private luxury yacht, drifting close to the Sciara del Fuoco as Stromboli's volcano hurls molten lava into the night sky. One of Earth's greatest natural spectacles, witnessed in total exclusivity.
What to expect
Your private skipper positions the yacht in the prime viewing arc beneath the volcano's active crater as darkness falls. Cascades of incandescent lava roll down the Sciara del Fuoco and hiss into the Tyrrhenian Sea just metres away. The crew serves aperitivo on deck while you take in the pyrotechnics. Return under a canopy of stars with the volcano glowing amber on the horizon.
Good to know
Book well in advance — private night charters fill fast in summer. Confirm all-aboard time with your ship and allow at least 3–4 hours on the water. Departures typically from Stromboli village quay. Bring a light layer; evenings on the water can be cool even in summer.
