boat hire in Tonnarella · Bavaria — Cruiser 51 (2016)
Description of Bruzzio's sailboat
Sailboat Bavaria Cruiser 51 16m
The CRUISER 51 is our largest sailing yachts. But you hardly notice this when she is sailing, so unbelievably easy does this boat handle. Designed to accommodate up to 12 crew members to five cabins – to meet every need. The Aeolian Islands, located off the coast of northeastern Sicily, are one of southern Italy’s greatest natural and cultural treasures. Formed by volcanic eruptions over time, the archipelago is made up of seven islands – Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi and Alicudi – each one with its own identity. You’ll need at least two weeks to explore all seven islands but if you’re short on time, here’s an itinerary for a week with highlights of what to see, do and eat on four islands.

Mixed Experience with Bruzio Boat Rental My recent experience with renting a boat from Bruzio had its highs and lows. While there were some positive moments, there were also aspects that left much to be desired. What We Didn't Like: The check-in and check-out process was a significant letdown. It appeared that the boat owner lacked enthusiasm in assisting us during these crucial moments. We were left to navigate the intricacies ourselves and verify every detail. Regrettably, no assistance was provided during the boat's handover. Even the captain seemed unfamiliar with the process. The boat's quality and its equipment raised concerns. Just on the second day, our water supply broke down, leaving the skipper to grapple with the issue for hours. At one point, we feared our vacation would be cut short, which added an unnecessary amount of stress. The outdated utensils, lidless kettle that burnt us every time we boiled water, and damp mattresses – presumably due to improper sealing during boat cleaning – were not up to par. This forced us to dry the mattresses on the following day. Although the reservation indicated that bed linen and towels were included, the reality was different; only one set was provided! Additional sets required a surcharge of 40 euros each. Furthermore, we had to pay 250 euros for the Dinghy motor and another 250 euros for the final cleaning – details that the owner conveniently omitted when we made the reservation. It was also essential to double-check the fuel level, as it was only half full upon receipt. Positive Aspects: Amidst the challenges, there were some positive highlights. The skipper treated us to a mesmerizing view of a nighttime volcanic eruption in Sicily, which left us awestruck. The boat's maneuverability, docking procedures, and marina booking process were commendable, all thanks to the skipper's expertise. However, after careful consideration, our group has decided to refrain from booking any more yachts from Bruzio. The negative aspects of our experience overshadowed the positives, and we believe that our future yacht rentals could be better served elsewhere.
Very professionally and kindly crew
Perfect boat, beyond expectations, equipped with everything needed for a safe and comfortable cruise. The sails in light winds act as an aid to motor navigation which at half throttle reaches acceptable cruising speeds of 6/7 knots but with fuel consumption reduced by 50%. I recommend it, Bruzzio very helpful and available by phone in case of need.
