Portorosa's waters at 5 knots
Sicily’s north coast facing the Aeolian islands, seven volcanoes set on the Tyrrhenian: that is the setting. Weather-wise: manageable Tyrrhenian breezes in summer, the inter-island passages kicking up a short sea in a maestrale — with 6 hp you pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.
Booking at the right moment
The useful season runs from June to September, the UNESCO archipelago best explored by the week. Six-hp fleets being the smallest in the harbour, aim for the morning slot.

You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
