• Het plan

  De Eolische Eilanden, Italië
  
  De vulkanische Eolische eilanden, gelegen in de Tyrreense Zee voor de noordkust van Sicilië, worden gekenmerkt door wilde, ongerepte natuur. Ze worden de "Eolische Eilanden" genoemd omdat, volgens de Griekse legende, de god van de wind, Aeolus, hier ooit leefde.
  
  Deze archipel in de Middellandse Zee heeft zeven bewoonde eilanden, en elk is anders. Van prachtige groene heuvels tot kokende kraters, u vindt een grote verscheidenheid aan unieke natuurlijke landschappen op een zeer kleine oppervlakte. In 2000 werd de archipel van de Eolische Eilanden uitgeroepen tot UNESCO-werelderfgoed. Regelmatige vulkaanuitbarstingen van de Stromboli bieden een waar natuurspektakel en de vulkanische bergen en mediterrane landschappen zijn een waar wandelparadijs.
  
  Dit actieve avontuur in Italië zit boordevol fenomenale ervaringen. Van zeilen met een tall ship tot het beklimmen van vulkanen en uzelf onder dompelen in de 6000 jaar oude cultuur van de eilanden.
  
  Zodra u zich bij Florette in de Italiaanse haven van Vibo heeft ingescheept, is uw eerste avontuur de zeiltocht naar de eilanden. Dit is de perfecte kans om kennis te maken met uw varende hotel, onder begeleiding van een ervaren bemanning.
  
  Deze reis wordt vergezeld door een wandelgids die dagelijks wandelingen op de eilanden zal leiden, met een minimum van 4 uur per wandeling. Een meer gedetailleerde routebeschrijving wordt nog bekendgemaakt...

  
  Wandelen op de Eolische Eilanden
  
  Hoewel Lipari ongeveer 5.000 inwoners heeft, behoudt het de charme van een typisch Siciliaans dorp. Het beschikt over een van de mooiste archeologische musea in Italië en een pittoresk oud stadje vol met kleine winkeltjes.
  
  Salina, bekend als de Groene Eilanden, werd in de jaren 70 nieuw leven ingeblazen als een agrarisch centrum. Het heeft talloze wijngaarden en is beroemd om zijn dessertwijn, Malvasia delle Lipari, en zijn kappertjes, die tot de beste ter wereld worden gerekend. Wandelaars kunnen door prachtige dennen- en kastanjebossen naar de hoogste bergtop van de archipel trekken.
  
  Als we bij de vulkaan aankomen, komt de geur van zwavel ons meteen tegemoet. Tot de 19e eeuw werden zwavel en aluin op slechts enkele meters van de kade gedolven. Tegenwoordig is de haven omzoomd met souvenirwinkels, spa's, hotels en bars, en kunnen bezoekers genieten van zwavelmodderbaden. Een hoogtepunt van dit eiland is de wandeling naar de krater, waar u de gele zwavelfumarolen kunt zien.
  Stromboli dient al sinds de oudheid als navigatiepunt voor zeevaarders, vooral 's nachts vanwege de frequente uitbarstingen. De vulkaan barst elke 15 tot 20 minuten uit en afhankelijk van de magmaniveaus in de schoorsteen kunnen lavafonteinen honderden meters boven de kraterrand uitstijgen.

  Van soloreizigers, koppels tot families of vrienden, er is voor ieder wat wils op dit wandel- en zeilavontuur. Een onvergetelijke en veelzijdige actieve vakantie met dagelijkse trips aan land, die een aangenaam contrast vormen met het sociale leven aan boord.

  Zwem, snorkel en kajak in afgelegen baaien met kristalhelder water en donkere stranden van fijn, zwart lavazand.

  De reis eindigd weer in de haven van Vibo Marina.

• Leven aan boord

  AUTHENTIEK TALL SHIP ZEILEN

  Florette en haar bemanning proberen altijd het zeilen te combineren met het onderdompelen van gasten in de ervaringen aan land; spectaculaire landschappen, oude cultuur en de specialiteiten van de regionale Italiaanse keuken.
  Met een originele tuigage is het zeker een all-hands-on-deck-aanpak - wat zeker deel uitmaakt van de magie van deze avontuurlijke zeilvakantie.

  Zeilen op Florette is een echte familieaangelegenheid. Kapitein Ron is de 2e generatie die Florette runt en zeilt met zijn gezin nadat zijn ouders het schip in de jaren 70 kochten. Ron is opgegroeid op de boot, zoals hij nu doet met zijn gezin. Naast Ron en zijn vrouw Nicole, heeft Florette een volledige bemanning met ervaren en deskundige zeilers. Nicole is ook de chef-kok van de boot, die fantastische mediterrane gerechten kookt, zodat u na een dag zeilen en verkennen geen honger zult lijden.

  VEEL PLEZIER!

  Florette trekt overal waar ze vaart de aandacht met haar traditionele houten romp, decoratief gesneden spiegel en haar indrukwekkende zeiltuigage. Zeilen met haar is onderdeel van de magie van deze avontuurlijke vakantie en is een groot deel van de ervaring. Ze heeft ook zeekajaks, stand-up paddleboards en snorkeluitrusting die gasten gratis kunnen gebruiken. Er is ook visgerei beschikbaar dat wordt gebruikt om verse vis te vangen voor het avondeten!

  Slapen en ontspannen

  Florette is een van de grotere boten in onze vloot, dus ze heeft voldoende ruimte zowel boven als onderdeks. Haar kapitein en familie wonen aan boord, maar ze hebben hun eigen aparte verblijven. Gasten kunnen genieten van privéhutten in combinaties van stapelbedden met 2-3 slaapplaatsen. Alle hutten delen in totaal vier toiletten en drie douches met nog een douche op het dek om zich af te spoelen na wat zwemmen in de zee! Een royale salon, bar en eetgedeelte bevinden zich onderdeks met een traditionele houten afwerking. Bovendeks is er een groot kussengedeelte waar u kunt ontspannen, zonnebaden of slapen onder de sterrenhemel (neem uw eigen slaapzak mee als u dat wilt!). Een eethoek in de openlucht bevindt zich midscheeps, perfect voor lunches in de zon of diners bij zonsondergang.

  Eten

  Nicole bereidt maaltijden met verse lokale ingrediënten, seizoensgebonden producten en lokale vis om uitstekende, gezonde mediterrane gerechten te maken. Elke dag ontbijt aan boord en zes maaltijden zijn inbegrepen in de ticketprijs. Deze zes maaltijden kunnen een combinatie zijn van lunches of diners, waarbij de rest van de maaltijden van de gasten aan land worden genuttigd op kosten van de gast. De ticketprijs weerspiegelt dit en geeft gasten de mogelijkheid om de lokale keuken te proeven en ervan te genieten. Als Florette om een ​​of andere reden geen gasten aan land kan krijgen, worden er maaltijden vanaf de boot aangeboden tegen een redelijke prijs.

  Dingen om op te letten

  Zeilen versus tijd aan land: Florette vaart elke dag met tijd om 's middags aan land te gaan.

  Nachtwachten?
  Nee, het is zeer onwaarschijnlijk dat Florette 's nachts zal varen tijdens deze reis!

  Florette Travel information- last updated24th October 2024

  Rules and Requirements for Voyage Crew

  Dear voyageguests, trainees and students,

  We look forward to welcoming you onboard the SV Florette. To make your stay onboard as pleasant as possible, wehave included in this letter some important points and tips that should be read before your departure. You should be aware tha tyou will be taking part in an active Sailing voyage on board an old- time sailing ship; therefore, it should not and cannot be compared with a Motor Yacht, Cruise liner or a Turkish Gullet. We hope that this information is of use to you and that it will help you prepare for a more enjoyable holiday.

  1.Route
  Your booked sailing voyage takes you along the beautiful coastline and to the islands where you will experience the history, culture, and landscapes. The route may vary depending on the weather conditions, which will be decided by the captain who has the best interests of the crew and ship at heart. As a result the program may change, and we are unable to compensate by way of refund.

  2.Safety Onboard
  Before leaving harbour and setting sail all crew members will be given some sailing instructions and a safety briefing. This includes abandon ship, fire, and man overboard procedures and several other personal safety tips including the ship rules and regulations.

  3.Electricity
  If we are not berthed in a marina the ships generators, which are stopped during resting hours, provide the cabins with a 220V power supply. The lights are served by a 24V batterysystem, which means that there is always light in the cabins and around the ship.

  4.Siesta/Quitetime
  Conversations, singing and parties should be kept by the table during siesta and quite time. Quite time is normally between 2300 hrs and 0700 hrs; however, it ultimately depends on the guests and atmosphere onboard.

  5.Tender(ship'sboat)
  The Florette has 2 large tenders (1x4.80m and 1x5.60m) which are driven by a member of the crew. Many ports are too small for Florette to enter; therefore, a free tender service is offered to bring the guests ashore and back to the ship.

  6.Sailing
  With a suitable wind, the sails will be set. However, seeing small sailing boats with their sails does not mean that the wind is suitable for Florette to sail too. The decision is exclusively with the captain.

  7.Luggage
  On board we generally go barefoot or when sailing, a pair of appropriate deck shoes or trainers must be worn. It is advised to bring some casual clothing and something a bit warmer for the evenings, i.e., a windbreaker or jacket. One should also bring their own toiletries, towels, and medication (i.e., seasickness tablets, band aides, suncream etc.).If you wish to sleep on deck, under the stars, you will need your own sleeping bag and mat. If you would like to climb the volcanoes it is advised to bring hiking boots and a flashlight, although these can be hired at Stromboli. A backpack is much more convenient than the larger bag you have travelled with. Mask and snorkels shouldnot be forgotten.

  8.Travel Insurance, Medical Insurance Card and MedicalSupport
  We recommend a comprehensive travel insurance which covers the following: personal accident & injury; incidents that may happen on board while sailing, training or working aloft; any watersports that you plan to take part in; shore excursions; all medical expenses; personal effects; and delays/cancellation insurance. Members of the European Union need the form E111 (you can get this at yourhealthinsurancecompany), which can be used in hospitals for general visits or emergencies.

  9.Sea
  Everyone should be able to swim. If you are unable the captain should be advised, and special precautions will be taken. The ship carries kayaks and SUPs. All water activities are at your own risk. A life jacket and/or swim buoy must be used.

  10.Entry
  Citizens from countries of the European Union need a valid identitycard or passport. Citizens of other nationalities should make enquiries with the relevant embassy.

  11.Accommodation
  There are 11 double cabins onboard, 5 of which have a bunk suitable for a child. Each of the cabins has a large deck hatch which ensures good ventilation, a sink, small table, and a cupboard for storage. Bedlinen is provided but can’t be taken out on deck. Generally: Wooden ships are known for their pleasant climate. During youth or sail training voyages we can offer an additional eight berths using traditional sailing hammocks that hang in a common area.

  12.Language
  Captain and some of the crew speak English, German and Italian. Sailing language is English.

  13.Food&provisions
  The breakfast buffet consists of coffee, tea, bread, sliced meats, eggs, cheese, and butter, different types of jam, cornflakes, and muesli. For other meals we offer local and seasonal produce to provide a healthy international kitchen. On request we also cater for vegetarians and food allergies. For the BBQ’s onboard we have a large stone lava grill.

  14.Water
  There are 6000 litres of fresh water onboard. While at sea, unnecessary water consumption should be avoided. A swim in the sea in the morning is by far the best way to wake up. The ships water from the tap is not drinking water. However, we do however have purified watersystem that provides clean drinking water. You should bring your own water bottle.

  15.Payment/Prices
  a. A deposit of25% of the cost is required to make a reservation. The balance must be paid not less than 60 days prior to the departure date.
