Yacht anchorages near Stromboli Island

The most popular yacht anchorage off Stromboli Island is located between the village of Punta della Lena on Stromboli and Strombolicchio Rock.

During the peak season hundreds of yachts gather at this anchorage, despite the number of yachts it is quiet and peaceful. The anchor is thrown at depths from 5 to 20 meters depending on the length of the anchor chain on your yacht. The bottom is sand and mud.Holding is good.

Less than a mile south of the anchorage is the island's ferry pier, which you can approach with your yacht for disembarking and embarking passengers. You may need this if there are those in the yacht's crew who wish to climb the volcano. For the lazy, there is an easier way to see an erupting volcano. To do this, you need to sail around the island of Stromboli from the north and go to the north-west coast of the island. The volcano eruption looks most spectacular in the dark.

There is a minimarket near the ferry pier, and about 300 meters south of the pier is the office of the Magmatrek company, which organizes hiking tours to the volcano.
