Alicudi is a wild island and one of the seven that make up the Aeolian Archipelago off the coast of Sicily. Alicudi is the most remote of these islands and the least populated. Charter guests will find themselves anchored in a place of pure, rugged charm with no boutiques, cars, or even streets. Instead, donkeys will carry things around the town where less than 100 people live throughout the year. Charter guests can leave the tiny port behind and climb the mule tracks to explore this truly wild and vivid island and true trekkers can climb the summit of the former crater and stand atop Monte Filo dell’Arpa at 675m above sea level.
Part of the Aeolian islands, Filiculi has several small villages and very fertile soil, with grapes, olives, grains and vegetables all grown here. The island is also of great archeological importance as it was a thriving site of production and trade, around 2000 BC. Capo Graziano houses the ruins of over 30 oval huts from that period. With only 300 residents on the island it is a delightful escape and a peaceful place to set anchor in one of the many quiet coves.
In the north of Sicily, part of the Aeolian Islands is the ancient island of Salina. This little gem has been inhabited since the 4th century and is an incredibly scenic spot for dropping anchor and soaking up the stunning views of the island's dramatic landscape. On Salina, you will find sleepy villages, hills adorned in wild vines, and verdant mountains rising to meet the sky. Days are spent sipping wine at the local wineries, strolling the pretty villages, shopping in the boutiques in Santa Marina Salina, and dining on the finest Sicilian dishes.
Panarea is the ideal destination for a luxurious island getaway. Everyone has heard of Capri, but in Italy however, the locals know of Panarea. During the summer, VIPs, actors, and Italy's affluent youth flock to this glamorous little island for yachting vacations, romantic getaways, and late-night parties. Even though Panarea has a rich history, including the remains of a Bronze Age village, tourism has not affected it much and it is still an authentic destination.
Stromboli is the northernmost island of this archipelago, which can be easily reached from mainland Sicily or from any of the other Aeolian Islands. It is the only island in the world with a permanently active volcano that juts sharply out of the sea, making it a unique charter destination. Because of the small size of this remote island, land transport is not available, making it an idyllic, unspoilt destination, excellent for exploring.
The scent of lemons, the vision of Pompeii in the distance, and gorgeous Italian seaside towns clinging to the 50km coastline are all why the Amalfi Coast is so special. Amalfi is sure to enchant from Sorrento to Salerno for charter guests truly seeking La Dolce Vita. On this gauzy stretch of coast, you will find incredible seafood dishes, handmade ceramics, sun-soaked piazzas, beautiful beaches, and hidden coves where you can sip crisp white wines with sparkling sea vistas and ornate churches and architecture. Must-see towns along this pearl-like string include Amalfi itself with it's medieval origins, impressive cathedral, pretty port, paper museum, and its fascinating maze of alleys and passages.
Ravello is a rare and charming sight - sitting atop its cliff-top perch offering jaw-dropping views across the Amalfi Coast. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Ravello is blessed with beautiful gardens, historical ruins, and a lively cafe scene where summer nights are filled with live music. Charter guests should be sure to add Villa Ruffalo to their sightseeing agenda. This 13th-century villa weaves Arabic, Sicilian, and Norman architecture and once belonged to the wealthiest family on the coast; its gardens are heavenly, with florals in bloom and endless views. The fragrant rose gardens and manicured walkways of the Villa Cimbrone gardens are also enchanting.
Positano is a dramatic, cliffside village on the Amalfi Coast, and without doubt, one of the most photographed and filmed locations in Italy. This chic retreat is a must-stop on your charter. Stroll through the town's narrow streets and admire the vibrant houses perched on the cliffs. Visit the beautiful Church of Santa Maria Assunta, known for its iconic majolica-tiled dome. Discover the local arts and crafts at the shops and galleries scattered throughout the town. Soak up the sun at Spiaggia Grande, Positano's main beach, or take a scenic boat tour along the coast to explore hidden grottoes and secluded beaches. Embark on a hiking adventure along the Path of the Gods, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea.
You don’t get better than charming Capri. The graceful gem of the lemon-scented Amalfi Coast, Capri is pure poetry and worthy of a thousand sonnets. Dwarfed by soaring sea cliffs and penned in by the sparkling sea, any other small would disappear against so much drama but not Capri. Brimming with wisteria frothed villas, brightly painted buildings, gardens cloaked in kaleidoscopic colour framed by pergolas, and plump piazzas that are prime people-watching territory, Capri doesn’t fail to utterly enchant. Charter guests will want to visit the famed Grotta Azzurra - this flooded cave was believed to be home to sea nymphs and magic back in Roman days thanks to its iridescent hues of unbelievable blue. The Gardens of Augustus are also worth a stroll and the Villa San Michele is sure to steal your heart. With incredible seafood on offer and divine confection, you won’t go hungry in this happening summer spot.
