BEST TIME TO VISIT
If you're looking to avoid the crowds, consider chartering a yacht in Stromboli during the shoulder season months of May and September. The weather is still lovely during these times, and you may find it easier to get bookings.
For an extra special boat charter in Stromboli, consider visiting during one of the island's cultural events. The most well-known is the Festival of the Saint, which takes place each July in honour of Saint Bartholomew. This festival is a week-long celebration full of fun activities, from processions and fireworks to concerts and feasts.
In March, you can attend the Feast of the Annunciation. August brings with it the Wine Festival, and carb-lovers will be in heaven during the Bread Festival in October. During these times, the streets of Stromboli come alive with music, dancing, and food.
Activities & Experiences
While many visitors on a luxury yacht charter in Stromboli will do a quick visit here and the islands nearby, we strongly recommend taking some time to absorb what Stromboli has to offer. From fine dining to volcanic sand beaches and a thriving nightlife, Stromboli is a multi-faceted island with something for everyone.
Treat your tastebuds at Punta Lena
Punta Lena is the perfect fine dining experience to work into your private yacht charter in Stromboli. This Michelin-starred restaurant is run by husband-and-wife team Roberto and Cristina Bava. The menu changes daily, depending on what is freshest, and the wine list is nothing short of awe-inspiring. With only 10 tables, reservations are essential.
Hike to the top of Mount Stromboli
One of the best things to do in Stromboli is to hike to the top of its active volcano, Mount Stromboli. This is not a hike for beginners—it requires two hours and a medium level of fitness—but the views from the top are well worth the effort. If you're feeling especially adventurous, you can hike all the way to the crater and peer into its bubbling lava. Just be sure to follow the signs and stay on the marked path, as it can be dangerous to stray off-course.
Stroll the dark volcanic sands of Ficogrande beach
Ficogrande beach is one of the most unique beaches in the world, thanks to its black volcanic sand. This secluded beach is only accessible by boat, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun in peace. If you're feeling active, there are plenty of rocks to climb and explore, or you can go for a swim in the clear blue waters. This is also the perfect place to pull out those water toys and float atop the Mediterannean.
Dance the night away at La Cantina del Leone
Dance the night away at La Cantina del Leone
La Cantina del Leone is the place to be if you're looking for a lively night out on your Stromboli yacht charter. This local hot spot is known for its great music and even better cocktails.
If you're in the mood to dance, head to the upstairs nightclub, where you can boogie until the early hours of the morning.
Explore the rest of the Aeolian Islands
While Stromboli is the main attraction in this area, it would be a shame to miss out on the rest of the Aeolian Islands during your yacht charter. These seven islands—Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi, Panarea, and Strombolicchio—are all within easy reach of each other. If you have the time, it would be remiss to miss the chance to see a few.
