01
Why it changes the day
With a ferry you see the harbours; with a RIB you see the islands. You slip into coves reachable only by sea, stop to swim offshore where the water turns black with depth, and eat lunch at anchor. And you head back when you decide, not when the last crossing leaves.
02
Where you go
The route is chosen together, according to the weather and the hours you have. Vulcano and Lipari are the closest and fit comfortably into half a day. With a full day you can reach Salina, or Panarea and its islets. There's also the coast right here, which is a different thing from the water: the headland with its lighthouse, the coves below the cliffs, the run home at sunset.
03
No boat licence needed
Our skipper is always at the helm: he steers, picks the sheltered spots and decides whether the sea is right. You need no qualification, and no knowledge of these waters — which, among the islands, is the part that matters.
04
The sea decides
It's the one rule we don't make. If the weather isn't right the trip moves or is cancelled: a RIB in a rough sea is no fun. It's worth asking a few days ahead and keeping a reserve date, especially in spring and autumn.
