What Vulcani Aeolian Boat Rentals does
Every tour can be tailored to your wishes: relaxation, adventure, snorkeling or simply the pleasure of sailing among the islands. Book a skippered trip or a self-drive dinghy rental.
Fun with friends
A special day in good company: music, dives, laughter and the most beautiful coves in the archipelago.
Relax and comfort
Unforgettable moments with the whole family, cruising slowly among bays and breathtaking views.
Sunset aperitif
A toast as the sun disappears on the horizon behind the islands. The Aeolian golden hour is unforgettable.
Sunrise on the boat
The sea still silent, the first rays of sun and breakfast with an Aeolian view. The most magical way to start the day.
Fishing experience
A fishing trip for sea lovers, guided by someone who grew up freediving and spearfishing.
Self-drive rental
Dinghies with no licence required, to enjoy the sea in total freedom. We'll suggest routes and moorings.
What makes Vulcani Aeolian Boat Rentals different
A founder born and raised in Lipari
Antonio grew up between the coast and the open sea of Lipari, and freediving spearfishing is his greatest passion. That is how he knows the seabeds, coves and hidden corners he suggests to guests.
Dinghies with no boat licence required
Our dinghies stay within the power limits for licence-free operation, so you can drive them on your own. Before you leave we suggest routes and moorings.
All seven islands from one pier
Every trip starts from Canneto Pier in Lipari and can reach all seven Aeolian Islands: Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi and Alicudi. Single-island tours, combos or a full loop of the archipelago.
6 ways to spend the day, built around you
From a sunrise breakfast to a sunset aperitif, through snorkeling, family relaxation and a fishing trip. Each outing is planned with you based on time, weather and what you want to do.
Bad weather costs you nothing
Safety comes first. If the sea is not safe the trip is rescheduled or cancelled at no cost.
