Vulcano Route

Feel the Sand Beneath Your Feet.

Barefoot on the beach. Gentle waves lap at the shore. Birds of every kind sing all around you. You smell the Mediterranean flowers and grasses. A soft breeze brushes your skin, and suddenly there’s a faint sulfur scent in the air.

Open your eyes. Ahead of you rises Stromboli, its volcanic crater smoking. The sand beneath your feet is pitch black. You turn around. Behind you, our sailboat bobs gently in the bay. On the horizon, countless tiny islands await. Welcome to our Sicily trip to the Aeolian Islands.

We sail between volcanic islands, anchoring each day in a secluded, idyllic cove. We cool off in the crystal-clear Mediterranean, sway in the hammock on deck, and sleep under the stars, letting the Italian vibe guide our days. We wander through small harbor villages, hike up Stromboli, take a road trip on Vulcano, and live fully in the moment.

Come aboard, have a seat and join the adventure!

Philosophy

This is what Pirates stands for
Individual travel

Those who know us know that we focus on quality instead of quantity. For us, it's the person behind every booking that counts! With us, small group sizes instead of mass tourism are the order of the day.

Group feeling

As a small organizer, this is our hobbyhorse. Pizza nights, road trips, night hikes, funny stories. Be prepared for teamwork on board and shared experiences that you won't soon forget!

Safer space

It is important to us that every guest feels comfortable on board, regardless of their origin or sexual orientation. Therefore, for us it is quite clear: There is no place for racism, sexism, homophobia or discrimination of any kind! Solo female travelers can also count on a guaranteed female cabin pairing, so you always feel at ease on board.

Sustainability

We care about nature! We design our trips to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Our focus is on protecting the sea - we let ourselves drift with the wind, rely on environmentally friendly soaps and avoid unnecessary waste. Our merch is fair trade - even our web host is green!

Plant-based

Vegan lifestyle and a memorable vacation? With us, nothing stands in the way. We cook vegan food on our yachts. During our joint restaurant visits ashore, you’ll have the chance to enjoy local dishes. So if you eat milk products, eggs or meat, you won’t miss out on land either.

Creativity and freedom

We are hungry for adventure and want to experience something. Freedom and creativity have been driving Pirates of Paradise since day 1. With us you can live your life to the fullest!

Great crew, good vibes, a beautiful boat, and really good food – what more could you want? Sailing with the Pirates is not only an adventure but also the perfect way to unwind and relax. An unforgettable experience with many special moments. I'm already looking forward to the next sailing trip!

Pirates of Paradise is by far the most welcoming and authentic sailing trip provider I have ever come across. Everyone is welcome, and nobody feels left out. They truly care about sustainability and zero waste, and everything is completely vegan and feminist. Especially as a woman, I felt very comfortable and safe on the boats. Our skipper Maurice was incredibly relaxed and taught us how to sail, which was such an exciting and rewarding experience. Meals on board are taken care of, and the volunteers, with the support of the guests, prepare delicious, balanced vegan meals. The boat is very well equipped and has a cozy atmosphere. I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire week. A huge thank you to the crew and to Yenzi for making this experience so special. The only very small downside was that sometimes it felt like nobody was entirely sure what the plan was, and things could get a little chaotic at times. Also, the advertised cozy pizza night, which was supposed to be included in the trip, ended up being a dinner at a rather unrelaxed restaurant, which was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, the week was absolutely worth it, and I am grateful that I got to be part of this crew. I will definitely sail with Pirates of Paradise again!

Sicily Trip I had a wonderful time with Pirates of Paradise in Sicily. The crew was such a great match, was very friendly and everyone took great care of us. It was a good mix of activities on land and relaxing time on the boat. Everything was organized in such a way that it was easy to just enjoy and go with the flow. The boat is very comfortable furnished, so you immediately feel at home and can quickly settle into the group and get to know new people. Sicily is definitely worth a visit. This was my first solo trip and I am very happy I did it with Pirates. I would definitely do it again!

Volcano Route Italy I came alone, didn't know anyone in the group beforehand and it still felt like a vacation with good friends. Everyone on the boat, whether guests or crew, was super nice and uncomplicated. When we sailed off into the sunset on the first evening with good music and good wine, we knew immediately that it would be an unforgettable week and why so many people rave about Pirates holidays. Mille grazie and gladly again!

We did a transfer from Sardinia to Mallorca, and it was my first time solo travelling on a sailing ship with complete strangers, but pirates of paradise made me feel right at home, facilitating an environment of trust, safety and familiarity we all got to enjoy. We were a group of just 10 people with different levels of experience in sailing (from none to fully skipper trained) and during the week of sail and learn we also had time to take it easy and make the most out of the days and the weather. This was an unforgettable experience, very personal deeply connecting and fully engaging that I will 100% recommend to anybody that dears to create meaningful connections with themselves, the crew and Nature. Thanks for the memories, the hugs, the dance, the food, the conversation and al the love to pirates of paradise.

So happy to have done the Sicilian route. It was a dream trip. I loved learning the basics of sailing.Everything was stunning and the food was amazing! The best part of it all was the people. The crew (Yenzi, Julian, Marius, Alberto and Boggy) were absolutely amazing. So welcoming and always making sure that everyone was having a nice time. Everyday felt like a new adventure filled with connection, beautiful spots and laughs.It definitely has been one of my favourite vacations. I am looking forward to joining another one of their trips. I recommend this experience a 100%

I went to Italy this year (Vulcano Route) and it was the best and most beautiful vacation of my life! ⛵️ I've never been sailing before and I didn't know anyone from vacation before. But the impressions on Instagram made me definitely want to be part of this journey. And it was really worth it! ☺️ After the week it felt like we had known everyone for a lot longer, even though they were all strangers a few days ago. 🥰 From a volcano hike at sunrise to swimming in the water at night and watching the starry sky, everything was there. 😊 So I can really recommend anyone who wants to go on a trip like this to have this experience with Pirates of Paradise! And feel free to do the trip alone 😊 Thanks to Yenzi and the whole Pirates of Paradise team for making these trips and incredible experiences possible 🧡

An incredible, incredible week spent on the boat! Hands down, the best trip I have been on. It was the perfect mix of slow mornings, allowing you to relax, as well as adventure, allowing you to explore beautiful parts of the world and grow as a person. A massive thank you to Yenzi and the crew, who are such amazing, genuine people; they make the trip truly so special and unique!

So far the best vacation I've ever had! Great team, nice people and a great atmosphere 😋 I think everyone should experience a holiday like this. It's just something different to spend your time on a boat. Especially because you see a lot more than just boring hotels or normal beaches. You simply experience so much more!! Gladly again 😋👍🏻

The trip with Pirates is highly recommended. Had a great week with a mix of all weather conditions. The south of Croatia is beautiful, we were able to spend a few nights in secluded bays. The food was also great and the order was taken care of 👌🏼 The tour with Pirates is great for spending a few days in nature and meeting interesting people.

One of the best trips I have ever been on. The guests and crew on the boat were super relaxed and fun, it felt like we had known each other forever. The Croatia trip was really nice, we stayed in several beautiful bays and marinas. Yenzi is such a good person, if you have a problem he helps you straight away, if you want he explains a few things about sailing and you can help him. Looking forward to next time

Best trip I've had! I spent a week on the boat travelling around Sicily. The trip was well thought out, with the option to opt in or out of any hikes and activities. The crew on board were super welcoming and made me feel very comfortable and extremely well taken care of throughout the trip. The boat was also well equipped with anything you could ever need, and the food was amazing! It was a beautiful experience full of amazing views, great connections and a perfect balance of relaxation and activity. Honestly I can’t recommend them enough. Will definitely be booking another trip with pirates of paradise 🫶🏼

The two years (2014 & 2015) that I went on a sailing vacation with Pirates of Paradise were the most exciting, fun and literally paradisiacal vacations I have had so far. The freedom and adventure you feel when cruising the Mediterranean was indescribable. You have to experience it yourself! I would go on vacation with Pirates of Paradise again in a heartbeat, only time constraints prevented me from doing so the last few times.

The absolute best sailing crew I have ever seen! The team is incredibly friendly and experienced in sailing and the boats are better equipped then any other boat I have seen – fresh filtered water, dishwashers, starlink WIFI and so on. I had such a nice week sailing with them around Sardinia and will for sure come back! And not to forget: the food on board is delicious! THANK YOU CREW <3
