About me

I try to train crews made up of men and women who are passionate about the sea and freedom, which only life on a sailing boat can restore. We sail in full respect of nature, and we like to enjoy the excellent local food, mixed with our chats and good wine. When we get on board and set sail, we turn our backs on the hustle and bustle of dry land, and we take all the time we need to discover new places and people, which can make us feel good. On board, we like to rediscover and reappropriate the values and primary needs that make us truly happy, and this makes us feel like aware individuals. And if the "magic" happens, the sailboat turns into a small community, where you can afford to share passions, talents and lay bare your weaknesses, and that's where we become a crew... and all this gives meaning to everything!

My experience

I learned to sail at the age of 12 on dinghies (laser and 470). I have always sailed wherever I have lived and since 2011 I have been organizing sailing cruises in Sicily and the smaller islands (Aeolian and Egadi). My sailing cruises are intense without being strenuous. Relaxing without being boring. Exciting without being stressful. Seeing is believing... Qualifications obtained: 2012 Boat License - Without Limits (Motor and Sailing); 2014 ISAF Offshore Certificate (Personal Survival Training Course); 2014 BLSD-PBLSD (Basic Life Support Defibrillation Adult+Pedriatic) Certificate; 2024 SRC (Short Range Certificate) ; 2024 PSSR (Personal Safety & Social Responsabilities) Certificate; 2024 PSTT (Personal Survival Techniques Training) Certificate; 2024 FPFF (Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting) Certificate; 2024 FAMC (First Aid & Medical Care) Certificate.

COUS COUS FEST: Un Week End di Mare, Vela, Cous Cous e Musica!

It was a very pleasant weekend. Davide managed fun, pleasure and unscheduled events (the rain at sea was still an experience to be lived) while keeping the safety rate high. I was the slouch of the group and I was never made to weigh it down, on the contrary. We went to truly magnificent places. I recommend for beginners and for those who want a relaxing weekend.

Nice experience, fantastic places, I suffered perhaps more than I expected the heat especially at night. Davide is a very attentive and scrupulous captain and has often cooked excellent dishes.

We spent an unforgettable week, an indescribable experience that exceeded my expectations. Davide was a caring captain, attentive to every need that made us feel at home on the boat. With him we discovered all the coves and the most magical corners of the Aeolian Islands. Perfect organization in every detail! Joan

We experienced the sailboat at 360 °, discovering the Aeolian Islands from a unique perspective and also learning to understand a little more about the sea and everything behind life on a boat. A special thanks goes to our skipper Davide: super experienced, competent and always attentive. We relied completely on him, especially in moments when there were important decisions to be made, and he always made us feel calm and safe. In addition to being a great skipper, he also turned out to be a great chef! The thing we appreciated most was his ability to really involve us in the experience, explaining the why of things, transmitting his knowledge and his passion for the sea. To make the trip even more beautiful was also the group: we found fantastic adventure companions.
