When you go yachting in Panarea waters, you find yourself amid the glorious embrace of the Aeolian Islands, mountainous and rugged and seemingly lost in time. Panarea offers the best of both worlds, a quiet yet sophisticated ambiance and stupendous natural beauty. Gorgeous beaches for snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing lure the rich and famous, who frequent the many upscale restaurants and nightclubs that have made Panarea a premier destination throughout Europe. The main village is Contrada San Pietro on the east side of island. North of the main town is Ditella and to the south is Drauto. Although the island is only 2.1 square miles, it has much to offer.

No moorings are available. Dockage is available at the pier at Contrada San Pietro or in front of club Raja. In an east wind (quite common in the early morning), these piers are unsafe. There’s a beautiful overnight anchorage east of Punta Millazzese and another equally scenic anchorage at Cala Junco. Anchoring restrictions sometimes apply. It’s best to check with the harbormaster or local tourist center prior to anchoring.
Dinghy dockage: Dinghy dockage is available.
Apart from the fine dining, nightclubs, and beautiful beaches, one of the most fascinating attractions on Panarea are the ruins of a Bronze Age village at Punta Milazzese. You can stroll among the 23 oval stone huts and ponder what it must have been like to live on the island so long ago. La Spiaggetta is a great beach for snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing.
No facilities for yachts are available.
