Circumnavigate Stromboli's dramatic volcanic coastline aboard an elegant private wooden boat, exploring sea caves, obsidian cliffs, and the legendary Sciara del Fuoco lava run by day. The island from sea level is breathtakingly raw.
What to expect
Depart Stromboli's quay and immediately feel the scale of the volcano as it rises 924 m straight from the sea. Your skipper navigates into grottos of jet-black basalt and past steaming fumaroles at the waterline. Multiple swim stops in crystalline blue-black waters framed by lava cliffs. A Sicilian antipasto spread is served on deck at anchor beneath the volcano's active flank.
Good to know
Book directly as a private charter for maximum flexibility. Confirm departure and return times with your skipper against your ship's all-aboard. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, snorkelling gear (often provided), and a hat — shade on the water is limited.
