Tour Itinerary

Day 1: July 8, 2023

Portorosa & Vulcano

After checking in and you're ready to go, you'll set sail from the lavish and stylish marina of Sicily. Settle into your boat with sunset cocktails before enjoying an Italian meal for dinner at your first destination, Vulcano. Well known for its sulphur rich mud baths and visibly smoking crater, Vulcano makes an indelible first impression.

Day 2: July 9, 2023

Lipari

Start your day with a walk to the main crater for an astonishing morning view before we sail to Lipari. Explore the island by bike or scooter admiring the white washed villages and breathtaking views of the Aeolian islands. Take a dip in the afternoon before celebrating the best of Italy with a fine Italian dinner and local wine.

Day 3: July 10, 2023

Panarea

Make your way to the most beautiful of the Aeolian Islands, Panarea. Expect delicious seafood and boutique shopping. A short ride away is Cala Junco, a beautiful secluded bay, and nearby Lisca Bianca’s offer hidden coves and bubbling sea springs you can explore. Tonight is also the perfect setting for sunset cocktails!

Day 4: July 11, 2023

Stromboli

Enjoy a memorable sunrise as you watch lava bubble from an active volcano, Stromboli. Then sail to Salina, a fertile island famous for the production of the local sweet wine Malvasia. Spend the day venturing around the town and the lush landscape before a sunset dinner admiring the view towards smoldering Stromboli volcano.

Day 5: July 12, 2023

Salina

Sail to one of the most isolated of the islands, Filicudi, well known for its wild natural beauty, untouched sea grottos and ancient pathways. Explore an extinct Aeolian volcano before a swim in crystal clear waters. The rocky shores are a beachcomber’s dream and an incredible spot to spend a tranquil night under the stars.

Day 6: July 13, 2023

Filicudi

After a morning swim you'll sail to your final stop, Asino Beach on Vulcano. On the way you'll stop at some gorgeous bays and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch. Spend your afternoon relaxing on the black sand beach or exploring by paddleboard. In the evening, you'll raise a glass to an incredible week while admiring a final sunset over the sea.

Day 7: July 14, 2023

Portorosa

You'll enjoy a delicious breakfast and morning swim before you slowly journey back to the port where you started the trip. Stopping along the way at some beautiful off-the-beaten track bays, you'll make sure you soak it all in. Once you arrive back, spend the evening on the beach or by the pool before settling in for a final night on your catamaran.

Day 8: July 15, 2023

We don't like to place an age limit on the trip. But in saying that it's best suitable for ages 18+ and that guests are healthy and can get into the spirit of the trip. Our average age range is usually between mid-'30s and mid-'60s but we've also had younger and older on past trips.

Absolutely! If you are a solo traveler, we can match you with a roommate and you can pay the same price if you're willing to share a room with another guest. Or if you prefer a private cabin, you can pay the €1,590 single supplement. Keep in mind this is the same price as paying for a double cabin to yourself for single use. Many guests on our trips are solo travelers so you won't be alone!

We'll do our best to assign you a cabin with a roommate. The cabins on our sailing boats are small and you will be sharing a double bed with your roommate. However, this is the most economical option if you are a solo traveler and don't want to pay the single supplement for a private cabin.

If you have more questions, simply fill out this form with your information and questions and we'll get in touch with you.

We generally market these gay sailing trips for men since many of our guests prefer 'clothing optional’ days on the boat and don’t always feel comfortable about being naked in front of women. For this reason, we offer this as an 18+ gay male experience.

Yes, it is! If you feel like laying out nude or skinny dipping, then who are we to say no? We just ask that you're respectful of your fellow guests and ask if they mind (probably not). Keep in mind that while we can generally go nude while sailing or in private coves, you'll need to stay clothed while in port to respect the other people around.

Yes, if you'd like to get involved and have some fun, pack light but pack fun. Pack your favorite wig for 'Wig Wednesday,' your speedos, your favorite undies for 'Undie Monday' and anything else if you wanted to go and dress in drag.

You're going to be on a sailing boat for most of the trip so please leave the kitchen sink at home and try to pack light. We can stow your bags on the boat.

We will be mixing up the itinerary, so you can expect some bars, restaurants and fantastic nightlife. Sicily has a wonderful tapestry of history and stunning architecture, so if you want a quiet night, you can take a stroll of the old towns and get lost in their beauty.

Gratuities are not included in the price of the charter. In the sailing world, it is customary to tip the boat crew if you've enjoyed the service. The recommended tipping range is generally from 5% to 15% of your total charter price.
