Charter a superyacht in
A yacht charter through the Aeolian Islands is a journey through volcanic landscapes, ancient villages and untamed nature. Just off Sicily’s northern coast this UNESCO-listed archipelago blends dramatic cliffs, black sand beaches and steaming craters with rustic ports and timeless Mediterranean charm. Anchor beneath an active volcano, explore crater lakes and dive into a world shaped by fire and sea.
These seven islands are made for superyachts. Chartering here gives you access to remote beaches, underwater caves and dramatic coastlines all far from ferry routes and tourist crowds. Cruise from Stromboli’s fiery summit to Panarea’s chic waterfront, hike volcano trails, snorkel in black-sand bays and dive volcanic formations that few travellers ever see. A yacht offers the freedom to experience it all on your own schedule.

Every island offers something unique. Stromboli: Hike to the summit at sunset and watch lava flow into the sea. Anchor off the coast and enjoy the show from deck. Dive nearby Strombolicchio, Le Sciara del Fuoco and Secca di Scirocco for surreal underwater volcanic landscapes. Salina: Visit Pollara, set in an ancient underwater crater and used as a film location. Snorkel from Rinella’s black sand beach, hike through fern-covered forests, and explore the island’s renowned malvasia vineyards. Lunch in Santa Marina Salina, a charming harbour town. Vulcano: Hike the crater, soak in mud pools, and dine at Il Cappero, a Michelin-starred restaurant with views over the sea. Panarea: Stroll whitewashed streets lined with bougainvillea. Dine at Da Pina, then enjoy sunset cocktails and music at Hotel Raya. Lipari: Swim at Spiaggia Bianca, where white pumice cliffs reflect bright turquoise waters. Filicudi: Kayak past volcanic sea stacks and into glowing blue grottos. Alicudi: Unplug completely on this quiet, roadless island with pristine trails and raw nature.
July and August bring peak season glamour, warm seas and long, clear evenings. Panarea and Lipari are alive with superyachts, beach clubs and nightlife. It’s the best time for social cruising and lively evenings anchored near Stromboli’s glowing summit.
May, June, September and October offer ideal conditions for a quieter more immersive experience. In May, the islands bloom and trails are empty. June and September strike the perfect balance of good weather and fewer crowds. In October, grape harvests are underway, and the islands settle into a slower, more authentic pace which is ideal for vineyard visits and relaxed cruising.
