5 September – 24 October, 2026
Italy – Aeolian Islands – Malta
Autumn Return.
As summer fades, Florette turns west and begins her long return through the heart of the Mediterranean. The sea shifts again. Winds pick up, ports grow quieter, and life on deck becomes sharper, steadier, and more alive.

Route
The voyage begins in Vibo Marina and moves through the Aeolian Islands, where Stromboli still smokes at sunset and the decks glow red at night. From there, Florette follows the coasts of Sicily and Calabria, stopping in wild anchorages where mountains meet the sea.
Each day moves at the pace of the sea, with time spent sailing, eating together, and noticing the gradual change in season. By late October, Florette arrives in Malta, completing the journey that began in spring.


It’s a quieter time at sea, with longer passages, clear light, and time to think.
