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!

An absolutely brilliant experience! I knew this week was going to be great, and Sailormoon & the crew made it happen. It’s a real break on the water, with great food, inspiring people and a very peaceful environment. If you’re reading these reviews, don’t wait any longer to join them – they’ll give you a warm welcome ✨

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!

It's a completely different holiday experience when you're at sea most of the time. You get a completely different view of the country and the landscape. I booked into Pirates of Paradise with 5 of my best friends and we had an amazing time together. The Pirates boys are all in a good mood and have a very family atmosphere. The skippers are great and make everyone have fun. (Thanks to Marius & Johanna <3) It definitely wasn't the last time I booked myself there!

Do you want adventure? You get adventures! What do you want "sea"? If you want salt on your skin, wind in your hair and a boat under your back, Pirates is the right place for you. I particularly liked the hammock as a place to sleep: one eye clink at sunrise and the next clink you'd jump into the sea. Hoist the sails and send off the mail. See you again on deck.

For the cool kids. We were on a crossing as a couple. This is not an officially advertised trip, but it is just as commercial and set up with the same general conditions. Basically, everything is as described on the website: the crew is nice, the waters and destinations are amazing, and we cook fresh and delicious vegan food together every day. I think the idea and concept are great, but I see room for improvement in the implementation. Unfortunately, criticism was reacted to very sensitively and dismissed as very far-fetched. I therefore don't want to go into my own personal impression any further, I think it just wasn't a good fit on a human level. In my opinion, the following things are important to know before booking a trip with Pirates: The trips are designed for young people. This is also how it is described on the website and this is also reflected in everyday life, which is free and flexible, at times unstructured and chaotic. I myself am in my mid-30s and consider myself to be quite a free spirit, but at times I felt really old and worn out. The conditions on board are cramped. Some crew members do not have their own cabin and sleep in the common area or on deck. During our stay on board, a toilet was also broken, which smelled and looked very unpleasant. The heat below deck is sometimes unbearable, especially when cooking, and sleep is out of the question on warm nights. If mosquitoes have found their way on board or the crew, who were previously too tired to wash up, turn up the volume again and make a fuss right above your bunk... you will feel a few years older by the next morning at the latest. But still: you can cope with little sleep and privacy for a week, it's worth it. I would recommend everyone to see for themselves... just don't do too many Insta stories, otherwise you'll miss the real magic of this tour.

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%

We were on the Volcano Route in Italy and it was amazing. You get to know a lot of people very quickly and after just a few days you feel like a little family. It's all a bit improvised, spontaneous and not planned until the last second, but that gives it an extra charm! Anytime again, great trip, great crew, great Yenzi, Pirates of Paradise <3

What an adventure! I was on board on the Croatia trip and I have to say it was just a great experience. 1 week on the sailboat felt like never ending & so decelerating. It was just a great combination of the right people, a lot of fun, a little storm, a little learning to sail. I'm taking some new, great friendships with me from this week and my renewed enthusiasm for sailing. Wasn't the last time :)

Yenzi knows great spots to anchor away from tourist spots and involves the crew in route/activity planning. Super equipped yacht, delicious food thanks to Marlen and the other nice sailors.

Our trip to the Aeolian Islands (Sicily) was truly amazing! It was an adventure full of once in a lifetime experiences with a lovely crew and amazing food! I highly recommend doing a trip with Pirates Of Paradise! I was traveling on my own and felt really comfortable with the crew and the other guests.

Sicily tour was the best decision ever. Had a blast. As a solo traveller I met many lovely people aboard. Nice balance between sailing time and activities. Nice spots for sleepovers. And the team really knows what they‘re doing, incredibly skilled skippers and chefs. A little helping e.g. for cooking is required. Also, the team works as volunteers and they take tips so there will be some extra costs. Hoping to book a trip again next year <3

Sicily is one of the most loved routes of the Pirates for many good reasons. The nature is truly spectacular, grand volcanoes and crystal clear waters to start everyday with a swim, an absolute dream! The crew is very welcoming and they managed to turn Sailormoon into the safest place to form new connections. All the activities were such a nice addition to the sailing experience, it created a very good balance. I appreciate the efforts and the energy the crew puts into keeping Sailormoon in such a good condition, the food (everything is so fresh and it tastes amazing) and to be there for each and every trip.👏🏻 Didn’t know what to expect when I booked this sailing experience but it’s the best thing I did in a long time. See you next year! 🫶🏻

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.

A good friend saw a post on Instagram and gave me the idea. I hadn't done anything similar before so I didn't know how the week would go. On the first day I was very happy to have embarked on this little adventure. The people were friendly and open so it wasn't difficult to get on the same wavelength. The group quickly became a small family with whom I laughed and experienced a lot. There are many beautiful moments that I could list here, such as sleeping on deck under a clear starry sky, sitting around the campfire or celebrating with the whole group. In 2021 we were on the Athens route and we have already booked another route for 2022. Best regards Stavros

That was a really nice vacation in Greece with really uncomplicated, nice people ☀️ The food was really good every day. Jumping from the deck into the sea every morning and watching the sunsets from there in the evening, just really beautiful and always a pleasure.

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 🧡

A very nice trip in northern Sardinia with stunning scenery, wonderful people, and excellent food. Pirates' concept makes the sailing trip very comfortable and a fantastic experience, with great attention to detail. I immediately felt at home! The boat is fully equipped and prepared for all weather conditions.
