Charter a luxury boat in Stromboli with Arthaud Yachting
Rent a motor yacht, a catamaran or a sailing yacht in Stromboli
Stromboli, also known as the ‘Lighthouse of the Mediterranean,’ has one of the most active volcanoes in Europe and is part of the eight Aeolian Islands. Situated just north of Sicily, Stromboli’s volcano has been repeatedly erupting since 1932. The perpetual and vivid eruptions are truly a spectacle to witness in person and are visible from long distances at night. The volcanic nature of the island has people from all over the world coming to visit this incredible piece of nature. Aside from the main attraction, Stromboli has its very own charming Italian culture and gastronomy that is not to be forgotten amidst the grandeur of its terrain. As Stromboli has no land transport, the best way to experience this magical island is onboard an Arthaud Yachting private luxury yacht charter.
Practical information to visit Stromboli
When to visit Stromboli by motor yacht
The best time to rent a yacht, catamaran, or sailing yacht in Stromboli is May to October. During the months of May and October the area is less crowded with tourists. During the high demand months of July and August we recommend booking your yacht charter well in advance. Arthaud Yachting has a wide selection of yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans available to suit your needs.
Top cruising areas on the coast of Stromboli
Enjoy the breathtaking views of Stromboli Island from your luxury yacht charter, cruise around to the dark volcanic north east of the island to view the ‘Sciara di Fuoco’ (the stream of fire) from the sea. From here you can head around to the north west of the island where you will find many small volcanic beaches.
As to what paradise is like, well, it probably has something to do with beaches and sailing. Just off the north west coast of Stromboli is Strombolicchio, a small and charming uninhabited island that is encircled by beautiful clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. It comes as no surprise that this coastline is a favorite destination for motor yachts and cruises.
Once you have explored the main treasures of Stromboli island, discover the rest of the astonishing Aeolian islands. Visit the white pumice caves of Lipari island or explore the underwater crater of Pollara Bay on Salina island. Each of these eight beautiful islands have unique attractions for you to see, the choice is yours.
In addition to the natural beauty of the islands, there are also many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and of course, yachting.
Do not miss when traveling to Stromboli!
The hike up Mount Stromboli to see the volcano’s magnificent crater full of bubbling molten hot lava before heading back down to cool off in some of the many private volcanic swimming coves. The hike will surely stir up an appetite, have our private concierge service reserve you a table at one of the best local restaurants before retiring to your chartered yacht for sunset.
The ‘Stream of Fire’ is one of the most incredible and dramatic attractions of the island. A smooth stream of molten lava that flows from the volcano’s crater along a rocky passage into the Tyrrhenian sea. If weather permits you can view this incredible spectacle from the sea on your private yacht. There are also a number of coral reefs close to the shore, providing a colourful and fascinating underwater world to explore.
Stunning dining experience in Stromboli
Enjoy the view of the island of Strombolicchio in the distance as you are served some of the island’s best locally sourced fresh seafood at Punta Lena Ristorante. Their outdoor setting with ocean views is perfect for lunch or dinner. Fresh fish is their specialty and is charged by weight, so you know it’s good. Also a great place to try the local Strombolana pasta dish. Ask your waiter to recommend a bottle of local wine to accompany your meal.
For a gourmet meal with incredible views of the volcano head to Osservatorio Ristorante. It is open from May to October each year and offers local seafood dishes served with a side of volcanic wonder.
L’angolo Del Pesce Di Utano Riccardo is a perfect intimate setting to enjoy an aperitif, we recommend a bottle of prosecco and the swordfish tartare at sunset.
These restaurants are in high demand and usually have long waiting lists for reservations but with Arthaud Yachting’s private concierge service you will always have a table available.
Stromboli best local dishes
The flavors of the island draw inspiration from its volcanic character and the seas around it. As with many of the Italian islands, fresh seafood is found in abundance. We recommend trying the local fried sand eel, a small crispy blue fish with intense flavor and amazing texture. Best enjoyed as a sharing plate with a glass of white wine.
Another notable dish of the island is the ‘Spaghetti alla Strombolana,’ a local pasta dish with a combination of olives, capers, anchovies, wild fennel, tomato and lots of chili pepper. A hot dish for a fiery island.
Local culture of Stromboli
Stromboli and the Aeolian Islands are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The local culture consists of the beautiful volcanic rock formations that are at the core of this archipelago. Explore the quaint traditional white washed villages and admire the Aeolian architecture.
Experience the Aeolian islands through their wineries and vineyards, book a vineyard tour, lunch and wine tasting on the island of Lipari.
Local food stalls and markets are part of the ambience, to get to the heart of the island’s culture head to one of the local food markets, try some street food and see the fresh produce and handmade artisan products, all whilst enjoying the dramatic volcanic backdrop and views of the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea.
Best beaches in Stromboli accessible from your private yacht rental
Due to the volcanic nature of the island, the beaches are filled with incredible black volcanic sands, many of them only accessible by sea. This leaves many options for private swimming coves, perfect for exploring on a private yacht charter.
On the west side of the island is the village of Ginostra. The natural rock formations near the pier have created a beautiful set of natural rock pools that vary in color from turquoise to deep blue. Frequented by divers and snorkelers for their beauty, these rock pools are definitely worth a visit.
Ficogrande is one of the larger beaches on the island and has the most amenities. With its volcanic pebbled shore and deep blue sea, this is a great place to spend a day sun bathing and ordering from the bar or playing a competitive game of volleyball.
If you’re looking for peace and tranquility head to the beach of Forgia Vecchia, situated in a calm sheltered bay, the waters here are crystal clear and perfect for bathing.
Arthaud Yachting’s recommendation
Take a day trip to go scuba diving around the island of Strombolicchio’s coral seabed. This incredible volcanic islet lends itself to a variety of underwater wildlife and is best explored by scuba diving from the comfort of your luxury yacht.
