Alicudi is a 2019 Dufour 520 Grand Large, a superbly appointed sailing yacht based at Marina Portorosa in Furnari, Sicily. From this exceptional home port, you'll have immediate access to the Aeolian Islands—a world of volcanic peaks, hidden anchorages, and crystalline waters that define Mediterranean sailing at its finest. Whether you're planning a week with family, a gathering of friends, or an intimate escape for two, this five-cabin vessel accommodates up to eleven guests across three well-appointed heads, making it ideal for groups seeking both comfort and authentic adventure.

Life aboard Alicudi unfolds with ease and elegance. The yacht's intelligent layout maximizes living space, while thoughtful details—including a full refrigerator, comfortable cockpit cushions, and a practical sprayhood—ensure your time on deck is both relaxed and protected from the elements. Navigation is intuitive thanks to integrated GPS and chart plotting, while the bow thruster and autopilot reduce the demands of handling, allowing you to focus on the rhythm of the sea. An included dinghy opens access to remote beaches and secluded coves unreachable by larger vessels.

A typical week unfolds between Salina, Panarea, and Stromboli, with mornings spent exploring whitewashed villages perched above turquoise bays and afternoons anchored in tranquil waters where the only sound is the clink of rigging. Evenings bring fresh seafood sourced from local markets, prepared in your galley or enjoyed at harborside trattoorie. The Aeolian archipelago rewards both experienced sailors and those new to bareboat cruising, offering protected waters, reliable winds, and the kind of natural beauty that makes every sunset feel like a private moment.

Picture yourself at week's end, anchored off Lipari as the sun descends behind Vulcano, a cool glass of Nero d'Avola in hand, the smell of salt and wild herbs carried on the evening breeze—this is the memory a week aboard Alicudi creates.
