Yacht catering in Porto di Scari, Italy

30 superyacht berthsStromboli capers (small island variety) · Aeolian Malvasia DOC · Stromboli small-boat fresh fish
Porto di Scari is the principal mooring point of Stromboli, the northernmost and most active of the Aeolian volcanoes, with 30 buoy moorings in the open bay beneath the constantly-erupting cone. The volcanic activity is the destination — Stromboli erupts every 15-20 minutes year-round, visible from a tender or from the famous Sciara del Fuoco lava flow that descends to the sea — and yachts moor here specifically to witness the spectacle, often timing arrivals for sunset and evening viewing. The pantry is very small-scale Aeolian. A handful of on-island producers grow capers (the Stromboli variety, slightly different from Lipari's), Malvasia and a small wine production, and free-range goats. Pane cunsato. Fresh fish from the island's boats. Essentially everything else arrives by daily ferry from Lipari (35 km south-west) — Aeolian Malvasia, broader Sicilian items, dry stores. Restaurant culture on the island is minimal (Stromboli is roughly 500 permanent residents) but several caterers handle on-yacht delivery for the summer fleet. The Ginostra side of the island (the smaller settlement on the south coast, accessible only by boat) has its own micro-economy of capers and lemons. Yachting season runs late May through September with sharp peaks late July and August. Stromboli provisioning works exclusively via Lipari staging — plan 24 to 48 hours for anything beyond fresh fish and on-island items. Tender access to shore from the moorings is constant during the season.

Frequently asked questions about Porto di Scari

How do I find a yacht food supplier at Porto di Scari?+

Browse vetted suppliers serving Stromboli and the northern Aeolian Islands on Super Yacht Eats. Each listing shows specialties, languages, lead times and direct contact. One quote request reaches multiple suppliers in provisioning, fish, wine and Stromboli-specific catering.

Can I get provisioning delivered to Stromboli mooring field?+

Yes, via tender or coordinated boat delivery. Most suppliers stage from Lipari (35 km south-west) and ferry items daily. On-island fresh fish, capers, Stromboli Malvasia and goat are same-day; everything else arrives via Lipari (24-48 hours from order).

What Stromboli specialties should I order?+

Stromboli capers (the small island variety with slightly different profile from Lipari), Aeolian Malvasia DOC, daily Stromboli small-boat fresh fish, free-range Stromboli goat, pane cunsato, plus Ginostra-side specialty items (capers, lemons) from the smaller south-coast settlement.

How long should I plan to anchor at Stromboli?+

Most charters time arrival for evening (the volcanic eruptions are best visible against the dark sky), spend one night moored at Scari or anchored off the Sciara del Fuoco, and depart the following morning. Longer stays are practical for the active charter calendar but plan provisioning carefully given the island's minimal on-shore infrastructure.
