What does the Flotilla look like?
To get an idea of this adventure, watch the video of our last Flotilla in Lefkada, Greece.
How the Flotilla works
After two successful flotillas in Greece we are excited to take this unique experience to Sicily, Italy.
​
Sailing as part of a flotilla with 6 boats with over 40 people is a great chance to meet likeminded people who are on the same wave as you. You will meet new friends, potential business parters or even find romance on this adventure.
​
On our social evenings we will have dance classes, games, exercise, yoga and meditation, and of course parties as long as you can take.
​
Of course the main focus is being on the water and everyone will have the chance to learn about sailing and develop skills to potentially become a skipper in the future as well.
​
Spacious and comfortable Bali 4.1 Catamaran
Bali makes some of the finest and most popular catamarans and we are very pleased to let you know that you will be sailing on a very well equipped and agile Bali 4.1. With 4 double cabins and 4 bathrooms there is plenty of room for privacy as well as socialising on the spacious deck and living area.
Itinerary
We will start our adventure on the 11th of May in Capo d'Orlando, Sicily.
Over the course of one week we will explore the Aeolian islands Lipari, Stromboli, Vulcano, Panera and Salina and immerse ourselves in the local nature, towns and villages and the unique thermal waters and mud baths of the area.
​
We will see active volcanoes, and hopefully even the famous small eruptions of Stromboli island at night. In the picturesque Italian villages we can explore the local markets and immerse ourselves in the local cuisine.
