Da Massimo Dolce Vita Group

A boat-excursion agency in Lipari: trips to Vulcano, Salina, Panarea and Filicudi, sunset at the sea stacks and an outing to Stromboli with the Magmatrek guides.

Da Massimo Dolce Vita Group is a boat-excursion agency with an office in the historic centre of Lipari, on Via Maurolico, a side street off Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Departures leave from Marina Corta, the small harbour, five minutes' walk from the office; the hydrofoil port is about ten. They work with small boats, such as the M/B Dolce Vita, 10.4 metres, with a sun deck, cabin, toilet and swimming ladder.

What excursions they run

They publish these outings from Lipari, priced per person:

Lipari and Salina, from 10:00 to 17:00, €50: pumice caves, Santa Marina, Pollara bay and Lingua.
Full Vulcano, from 10:00 to 17:00, €35: a long stop at the port for the mud, the hot water or the village, and a tour of the island with swims at Baia dell'Asino and Piscina di Venere. Just the return trip to the port, €20.

For children there are reductions and at the office there may be offers of the week. They also run day and night transfers to other islands and hire launches and inflatables without a skipper, some without needing a licence.

Stromboli with Magmatrek

They have an agreement with the volcanological guides of Magmatrek: the boat leaves Lipari at midday, passes Panarea and its islets, leaves you free time in the village of Stromboli and takes you to the guides' meeting point. After the climb to 400 m, the boat takes you back to Lipari around 23:00; the return time changes with the season. Bring trekking footwear, a torch with spare batteries, warm clothes, a litre of water and a cold dinner; the equipment can be hired.
