EXPLORA | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

EXPLORA’s 4-member crew is guided by Captain Alessandro D'Amico, whose local insight and steady leadership give every Aeolian Islands yacht charter a reassuring sense of flow. An Italian professional with a close understanding of Sicily and its surrounding islands, he designs routes that avoid rushing from place to place, pairing must-see destinations with tucked-away anchorages where guests can swim, linger, and breathe in the volcanic coastline. His attention to safety, timing, and comfort means every passage feels considered, calm, and beautifully unforced.

Around him, the chef, stewardess, and deckhand create the atmosphere guests remember long after the charter. The chef brings regional inspiration to the table with dishes that connect the journey to the flavors of Italy, while the stewardess keeps the onboard spaces welcoming and the deckhand supports activities and smooth operations on deck. Together, the 4-person crew turns EXPLORA into a stress-free setting for discovery, where guests feel looked after, well-fed, and free to enjoy Sicily and the Aeolian Islands at their own pace.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in Sicily and the Aeolian Islands, Italy:
The first taste of Italian island arrives as EXPLORA slips away from Sicily, setting the tone for seven days of Mediterranean cruising rich in color, texture, and sea-swept discovery. Your bespoke Sicily yachting itinerary brings together the pleasures of a luxury crewed yacht charter with the freedom to move between water activities, historic towns, and dining experiences that feel rooted in the islands around you.

The Aeolian Islands bring drama to the horizon with volcanic silhouettes, quiet coves, and harbors where life seems to slow down just enough for you to notice every detail. Farther along, the Sardinian coastline offers crystal clear bays and a softer cruising rhythm, inviting guests to swim, linger, and let each anchorage reveal its own personality at an unhurried pace.

With guidance from Boatbookings and the attentive onboard crew, every element of the journey is refined around your interests, comfort, and preferred cruising style. From active mornings in the water to long dinners inspired by the region, EXPLORA turns Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, and Sardinia into a Mediterranean yacht charter that keeps curiosity alive from the first departure to the final island view.

Overview:
EXPLORA offers a refined interpretation of modern luxury, where thoughtful design enhances every moment at sea against the backdrop of southern Italy. Built on the proven platform of the Azimut Fly 82, she delivers generous interior volumes, privacy, and a strong connection to the surrounding environment. Her exterior lines by Alberto Mancini appear fluid and balanced, while expansive windows frame panoramic views that shift from Sicily’s rugged coastline to the volcanic silhouettes of the Aeolian Islands. Designed for up to 8 guests, EXPLORA feels both intimate and open.

Outdoor living on EXPLORA is shaped around ease and connection to the sea. The foredeck offers a relaxed space for sunbathing as island coastlines drift by, while the aft deck naturally becomes the heart of life on board for shared meals and quiet moments at anchor. From here, the yacht opens directly onto the water, creating a generous waterside area where guests can swim, lounge, and stay close to the sea throughout the day. Above, the flybridge provides comfortable seating and wide views, making it a favorite spot as afternoons fade into golden island evenings.

EXPLORA’s interiors by Fabio Fantolino combine architectural confidence with warmth. Premium materials, subtle textures, and refined detailing create a salon that supports both lively gatherings after a day ashore and quiet downtime as the yacht glides between islands. Guest cabins include a full beam Master cabin, a VIP cabin, a Double cabin, and a Twin cabin with two single beds, each offering private ensuite facilities, soft lighting, and elegant finishes designed for rest and privacy.

The final evenings on board unfold gently, marked by calm anchorages and the slow rhythm of island nights. Stabilizers provide smooth conditions both underway and at anchor, allowing comfort to remain uninterrupted until departure. Supported by a professional crew of four, guests disembark with a sense of ease and satisfaction, carrying memories shaped by Sicily’s character, the Aeolian Islands’ atmosphere, and the understated elegance of life on board EXPLORA.
