Our week aboard the [hidden] was an unforgettable experience among the beauties of the Aeolian Islands. Luigi, an experienced skipper and talented engineer, guided us with safety and flexibility, ensuring suggestive stops and safe anchorages at all times. The boat, a vintage-style 13-meter boat with fine wood finishes, is comfortable and well organized: optimized spaces, four versatile cabins and a welcoming dinette allow you to live life on board with the right balance between sportiness and comfort. An added value is represented by Enrico, Luigi's son and architect of naval interiors: in addition to being a skilled navigator, he has proved to be an authentic "director of on-board hotel services", capable of combining logistics, hospitality and cuisine of the highest level. Breakfasts, lunches and aperitifs prepared with the freshest local raw materials – often fish of the day – made every convivial moment special. The familiar and informal atmosphere was the common thread of the cruise, although disembarkations can sometimes be uncomfortable due to the small rowing tender, as the engine supplied is inadequate for shallow waters. The absence of adequate safety accessories (lights, dedicated life jackets) generated significant critical issues in the evening, in a context of autonomous management of the tender by us guests and with not completely calm seas. Despite this not small problem, the rule of always dining on land and independently (necessary to guarantee the team a well-deserved break) has always proved to be a winning choice, allowing you to fully appreciate the picturesque seaside villages and above all the tasty Aeolian cuisine. In summary, despite some small technical limitations, the cruise with Luigi and Enrico remains a unique experience that combines sailing, nature, gastronomy and authentic hospitality. An adventure that we recommend to those who love the sea, the wind and the authentic charm of sailing.

The professionalism and hospitality of Marco and Vale made this experience unique and exciting! A duo that led me among the most evocative views of the Aeolian Islands, allowing me to admire the explosive activity of Stromboli and, after a pleasant night navigation, to wake up in the roadstead to the most paradisiacal bays of Salina and Lipari. The trip was entirely dedicated to relaxation and "slow life", being the rhythms managed in a relaxed way in accordance with the needs of the crew and, of course, meteorological conditions. A particular credit goes to Vale for the LOVE with which he first selected the excellent raw materials and then prepared exquisite recipes and aperitifs. As for Marco, what can I say, a REAL sailor, with a contagious smile and a mastery of sailing that instilled an atmosphere of serenity and confidence from the first moment. The common areas and the cabin were comfortable, I found the boat clean and tidy. The excursions were very pleasant, which allowed us to experience the islands and create further moments of sharing and fun. My first sailing experience will remain among my best memories especially thanks to Vale and Marco's infinite passion for the sea, and the fact that they made it wisely accessible with their profession.

Six days with Marco & Valentina were like being among friends, family. In addition to being fantastic hosts (and excellent skippers), they put you at ease in maximum safety. The boat is spacious and clean, you can see the attention to detail. And Vale is an excellent cook! I recommend this holiday to those who love simplicity, in magical places.

Riccardo and Enea were incredible hosts. Well organized trip, ready for any eventuality and super nice!
