With a Career that spans superyacht crew, ski chalet sales director, and her current role as Senior Charter Consultant at Ocean Independence, it is fair to say Hanneke knows a thing or two about luxury travel.
So, when the Aeolian Islands were her answer to the question, “What is your favourite yachting destination?”, we just had to find out more.
1 Why the Aeolian Islands?
One of my favourite places to visit – which, to this date remains a hidden gem – is the unspoiled and utterly fascinating Aeolian Islands, just north of Sicily.
The Aeolian Islands are a mixture of jewels that attract an equally mixed crowd of Sicilian princes, European royalty, families in search of a quiet holiday, and an international fashion crowd.
Once the haunt of ancient deities, the beautiful island group in the Tyrrhenian Sea is now worshipped for its smouldering volcanoes and glittering nightlife.
2 Favourite Yachts Cruising There?
Italian life is all about living well, and looking fabulous while you’re doing it. There are a lot of stunning yachts in and around southern Italy that fit the bill. But, for me, three yachts stand out for their impeccable service, amenities, and stylish designs.
