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!

What I like to do

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.

A sailing cruise much more than just a holiday, an authentic, relaxing and exciting experience. Much of the credit goes to skipper Davide, a competent person, helpful and able to convey confidence at all times. Its great experience at sea is immediately perceived and allows you to experience navigation with serenity, simply letting yourself be carried away by the beauty of the journey around the Egadi islands, simply gorgeous! In addition to being an excellent Captain, he also proved to be an amazing cook, transforming meals on board into true moments of conviviality. The combination of professionalism, passion for the sea and talent in the kitchen made this cruise truly special. An experience that I recommend without hesitation to those who want to discover the pleasure of sailing, feel welcomed like family and enjoy the sea in an authentic way. Thanks to all the crew for the great company and in particular to Davide for the wonderful experience!

An experience that to define excellent would be an understatement. The sailing experience was splendid, with wonderful views, crystal clear sea and the priceless feeling of freedom. But what made this experience truly unique was the human factor. The skipper proved to be an exceptional person in every respect: professional, prepared, attentive to safety, impeccable in organization and endowed with rare relational qualities. He managed to create an atmosphere of serenity, conviviality and sharing that made everyone feel at ease from the first moment, transforming a simple trip into an authentic and memorable experience. The cuisine deserves a special mention. Although meals are not a due or obvious service in this type of experience, the skipper wanted to offer much more than could be expected. And what a surprise! These were not simple meals, but real gastronomic moments. Each dish was prepared with care, passion and great attention to the quality of the ingredients. Honestly, the meals were beyond all expectations: delicious, tasty, irresistible. The kind you look forward to and that, jokingly, can be addictive. Each course was a confirmation of the talent and generosity of the skipper, who also proved to be exceptional in the kitchen, managing to constantly amaze everyone on board. In a world where we often limit ourselves to providing the expected service, here we clearly perceive the desire to offer much more: passion, attention, hospitality and a genuine care for the well-being of guests. It was not only a fantastic sailing experience, but an extraordinary human experience made up of sea, friendship, professionalism and unforgettable flavors. Five stars are not enough. An experience that I would recommend without any hesitation and that I will take with me as one of the best memories of recent years. Congratulations to the skipper: exceptional at sea, exceptional with people and exceptional also in the kitchen.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+∞.

To say that it was a nice boat holiday would be an understatement. Davide is an extraordinary person, capable of creating the perfect understanding with the whole crew, respecting the needs of individuals, making these days unique, intense and full of a light that I will carry with me for a long time. I haven't taken off the bracelet, this small object helps me keep alive the memory of my travel companions and all the moments spent together. Simply thank you.
