About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nealonw0 contributions10/10 Sunset Cruise ExperienceIncredible time with an amazing host. Eoliana was so accommodating and brought the best snacks aboard. She let us play our own music, brought us swimming and showed us some amazing sights. We did the two hour sunset cruise which I can highly recommend! Thank you Eoliana!Written September 28, 2024
- David C0 contributionsFantastic day around VulcanoThis tour has been a highlight of our trip to Lipari. Emanuela and Silvestro have been wonderful with every member of our family, taking care of the kids when they didn't want to swim while we were snorkeling. They adapted the trip according to our preferences, shared interesting facts about the various points. Silvestro jumped in the water with us to lead us through a cave whole swimming. It was awesome! If you pass by Lipari, do not hesitate booking this experience. You won't regret it!Written September 27, 2024
- mpm4450 contributionsHalf day boat tour of LipariWe took a half day boat tour and it was fantastic. We stopped at 3 different locations for snorkeling and enjoyed beautiful views of the Lipari coast. Sylvestro our skipper was excellent. The lovely bruschetta and Prosecco capped off a great day. Highly recommended.Written September 26, 2024
- MindyC5400 contributionsGreat day on the water on the Eleoliana.We had a wonderful day on the Eliana. The boat was beautiful, amanuella was a great skipper and host; so knowledgeable, friendly and we felt very safe. Her apertivo was delicious made w tomatoes and basil from her garden and accompaniments from her mother in law. We had an excellent day. Thanks you!Written September 25, 2024
- piero133400 contributionsYOU CAN’T MISS EOLIANA TOUR OF THE ISLANDSThey were amazing! If you go to Lipari you must do this excursion with Silvestro e Francesca! They have different time of day and places you can visit, we went to Vulcano and Lipari North which was amazingly beautiful, they make us feel like celebrities and everything they did was to please us, including the safety measures they took to ensure our family wellbeing. Just a word of advice… bring a good sunscreen;)Written August 22, 2024
- Nomad649494615470 contributionsAmazing private cruise experience around Vulcano and LipariSimply the highlight of our holiday to the Aeolian Islands. Our 7-hour cruise with Emanuelle was exceptional. Her attention to detail and ensuring guests have the best experience is incredible. Cannot recommend more highly. We booked again two days later for a swimming cruise…Written August 12, 2024
- ameliastrat000 contributionsA magical day!!This boat trip day was the absolute highlight of our 2 week trip in Italy! Emanuela and her hubby were truly such warm + wonderful hosts. The day could not have been more perfect!! The views, the beautiful swim spots to jump off + explore, grabbing lunch at the tiny seaside restaurant in Vulcano.... It was a magical day to say the least + I cannot recommend this experience enough!! if I'm lucky enough to return to Sicily some day, we'll be doing it again!! Practically speaking the boat was also very comfortable for our group of 5, plenty of space in the shade/out of the sun when we wanted that, and comfortable spots to lay in the sun + watch the amazing views roll by as well. They supplied yummy snacks + drinks as well. We all felt so well cared for on this trip - we wanted for nothing. I cannot recommend this enough!!Written July 18, 2024
- natep4380 contributionsCoolest Boat Tour Ever!We were extremely excited for our boat tour around South Lipari and Vulcano and the tour completely surpassed our expectations. Emanuela was an excellent host. She was extremely patient while we went swimming and snorkeling at the many stops around the island and extremely knowledgeable when it came to the history of the islands. The boat came stocked with plenty of beer, wine, and water. The fresh fruit was a nice touch as well. I highly recommend the Vulcano trip because you get a little taste of everything: a snorkeling spot with tons of fish and sea creatures, a stop at the volcanic hot springs with milky white waters, a stop at some amazing grottos/caves, a black sand beach, and a beach with an outstanding viewpoint of both Lipari and Vulcano. The boat was absolutely beautiful and extremely comfortable. I will be back soon to take a tour with Emanuala!Written July 8, 2024
- beaarmand0 contributionsA “must do” in Sicily!My husband and I went on this tour yesterday with Emmanuela, our skipper. She is an incredible host and we truly enjoyed every moment of our day on her beautifully kept boat. Her attention to detail paired with her excellent hosting skills made it a trip we will always remember. Thank you Emmanuela!Written June 22, 2024
- annemarch20180 contributionsFor the rest of our livesIt was the best day of our vacation. Emanuele is a safe, knowledgeable, experienced, generous, and very kind skipper. She prepared a beautiful platter of bruschetta with fresh fruit and every kind of drink you can imagine. She took us to coves and bays where we could swim and snorkel in crystalline waters. Lots of boats were in the area but we were the only ones actually in the water! The opportunity to see fish and corals up close was magical. It was also refreshing and necessary on a very hot day. Every minute was heaven. Our entire family of all ages and levels of experience felt the same way: this was a day we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.Written June 18, 2024
- 619briannaj0 contributionsThe best day!Emanuela was an incredible skipper! We had the best day. Beautiful places to see and swim. Lovely apertivo. The best way to see the Aeolian Islands! Can not recommend this enough. Thanks again!Written June 14, 2024

- Maureen C0 contributionsCan’t wait to come back and do againWish I could rate this 100/5. The entire experience, from ease of booking and communication to the many amazing small details that go into the trip make this the best experience.Written May 21, 2024
- Rebecca C0 contributionsThe perfect sunset boat tourOur private boat tour was amazing. Emanuela and Silvestro were so accommodating from our pick-up to the aperitif to even delivering my sunglasses that I left on the boat the next day. We had a wonderful time and I’d highly recommend a sunset cruise with them.Written May 16, 2024
- tilsong0 contributionsUnforgettable springtime voyageWe had an incredible time with Emanuela last week! We cruised around the coasts of Lipari and Vulcano, went swimming, explored some mud baths and bubbling seas, and had a delicious lunch on board the boat.Written April 29, 2024

Words and pictures cannot do justice to the epic experiences our group had on board the Eoliana under Silvestro's guidance. On our first excursion we did a 9 hour tour of the Lipari coast and Salina hotspots. The beaches in the Eolian islands aren't always very accessible or friendly given the rock formations, but diving into the most pristine and evocative waters of the coves on the coast of the islands was pure magic. Silvestro knew all of the amazing spots, anchored, and let us dive in and experience pure joy. Waters that ranged from emerald green to indigo blue. Waters so clear that you could see fish 5+ meters below. Our second day on the boat we toured the coast of Vulcano, again jumping into the sea for amazing experiences. Having Silvestro as a guide was so perfect, he knew all the secrets of the islands, the best spots and was also a wonderful sweet and genuine man. We left the tours having made friends of both Silvestro and Emmanuela. I've been going to the Aeolian Islanands since the 70s and cannot recommend this experience enough. I will be booking again and again when I return. Thank you Silvestro and Emmanuela for the opportunity to experience your passion and hospitality in the Islands. - David

We waited a little bit to long to book so the main boat was already booked. However, Emanuela fixed it so we went with the boat Emy and the lovely captain Tindaro.
My girlfriend and I went for a 4-hour long private trip around Lipari. A perfect way to spend our afternoon. We drove to places where the water was crystal clear, to coves, and other remarkable examples of the nature around Lipari. At three of the places we also went swimming.
It can be really warm in Lipari during the summer months so I highly recommend to go on a boat trip to enjoy the sun in a comfortable way.
Tindaro was welcoming and informative captain. Despite our communication difficulties (as we cannot speak Italian) we got a lot of good tips from a true local, with some help from Google Translate.
I highly recommend to book a boat trip with Eoaliana. Emanuela was so helpful and informative, and it is very professional. And our captain was making this trip even better. I almost feel sorry for all the questions he was bombarded with from us.

The captain was very enthusiastic and lovely. I look forward to traveling with them next time. The underwater scene was so beautiful and you could see many small fishes. Unfortunately, I can't swim. It was my first time watching the sunset on the boat and it fell in just one minute.

There is nothing to say with Emanuela’s goiter, moored in Marina Corta, it was love at first sight. Nice, neat, elegant and welcoming. Emanuela and Silvestro put us completely at ease transmitting their experience and passion for what they do. After only ten minutes it seemed we had known each other for a long time. They followed our every desire, advising us in the right way to live the experience of a boat tour all for us. In the end the desire to live another of the proposals outweighed the regret of having to return to the mainland.

My husband and I took this tour while vacationing in Sicily and it was the best decision we made. It was about a 2 hour trip one way from Taormina but it was well work the time! We did the Lipari tour and we had a wonderful time. Emanuela and Silvestro were so kind and hospitable. They stopped at multiples stops for us to swim and snorkel, told us about the area and served a delicious lunch. I had to reschedule the trip from May to September and they were more than accommodating. They quickly answered any questions I had via Whatsapp and they even assisted with information on how to get from Taormina to Lipari. Trust me, book this tour! You won’t regret it.

We spent a wonderful holiday in the Aeolian Islands thanks to this couple of very nice and extremely professional guys. Emanuela and Silvestro pampered us for 2 wonderful gozzo tours (prepared by Emanuela like a luxury yacht and masterfully conducted by Silvestro). On board, in addition to enjoying the wonders of the sea of Lipari, Salina and Vulcano, we appreciated the homemade gastronomic delights, lots of fresh fruit and excellent wine. Furthermore, Emanuela also organized trips to the other more distant islands with Peppe's dinghy (the sea urchin), their friend and equally professional and friendly. I think that on behalf of all the participants I can only thank Emanuela, Silvestro and Peppe immensely for the wonderful holiday.

This is a unique, magnificent experience of discovering the shores of Lipari. Thanks to Silvestro and Emanuela, for their welcome, their kindness and their courtesy. Possibility of swimming in places away from the crowds, a snack made from products prepared by Emanuela is a significant plus. To be recommended for the refinement and class of this boat making this experience unforgettable.

It was an absolutely magical experience. The boat, il Gozzo is just fabulous and Emmanouela amd Silvestro welcome you with amazing fresh food, fresh drinks and a unique professionalism mixed to charm.
We had a tour of the island, discovered enchanted spots and explored the blue cobalt water guided by Emmanouela and Silvestro knowledge of the place. We will do it again and again and we highly recommend it!

There is not a better way to see the islands than on your own private boat. Lovingly restored, luxurious touches such as fresh fruit, ice cold water, wine, and soft towels make the day. With an excellent guide/skipper who takes you to quiet places away from the crowd, you often feel like the only one in the sea. Every heaving tour boat packed with people makes you appreciate how special your day is with EOLIANA.

My wife and I spent a wonderful day with Eolianao circling the island of Lipari. She was a fantastic host, accommodating and attentive. To start, she was so easy to communicate with as we prepared for the trip. On the boat she kept a perfect mix of pointing out details of what we were seeing, taking us to great swimming coves and giving us our space as we were soaking it in. And she has everything on board to make the tour delightful, wine, fruit, snorkeling equipment and then laid out a spread of homemade, fresh snacks. We cannot emphasize enough how much we would recommend her and her tour.

Hi, we are looking foward to visit L'Eolie.
How do you usually organize your tours? Is it only around Lipari or is it possible to visit other islands?
Best Regards
