Cyclops Route 2017 

23-25 June


The scenic stages in this race are among the most striking of the Tyrrhenian Sea. As soon as we leave Vibo Marina, the Gulf of Santa Eufemia opens up in front of us as we set sail.

Along the coast of the gods, up to Capo Vaticano, to Su Lipari, an island on our right hand side. The channels between Vulcan and Salina can be challenging because of the sea currents and winds that change direction due to the heights of the islands .


Stromboli, stands 926 m (3,034 ft) is one of three active volcanos in Italy. has been in almost continuous eruption for the past 2,000 years. Known as the ‘Lighthouse of the Mediterranean’ by ancient navigators is approximately twenty-five miles away. We try to view this island at night due to the active minor volcanic eruptions, often visible from many points on the island and from the surrounding sea 



Enjoying the spectacle of the geological feature of the ‘Sciara del Fuoco’  ("Stream of fire") on the NW side of the cone.  Sailing to Tropea, after which we return to the Carmelo di Vibo Marina.
