I have had the most amazing week. Gabriele is a great skipper and knows the area very well so we have been to some absolutely beautiful places. On top of that he is an amazingly friendly and easygoing person. The boat is in good condition and a good size for about 8 people to still have enough space to move around. And the Islands are breathtakingly beautiful. I could not have been more relaxed and happy throughout my trip. Would absolutely recommend booking this experience, it is one of the best things I have done in my life.

We had the pleasure of traveling with Alessandro. Overall a great experience despite the unfavorable weather. Alessandro and his father did everything to accommodate the crossing - by offering an alternative program, certainly less rich than initially planned, but very good, with good advice/recommendations. For example, they postponed the date of return to Milazzo to allow us to catch up on part of the program and visit Vulcano. Alessandro was also very accommodating on gravel outings and always attentive in case of problems. However, I put 3 instead of 5 because I find the 1,200 euro starter pack absolutely SCANDALOUS - this one includes nothing more than sheets and towels. Having done other sailing cruises on Sailsquare, it was a first, and what a (very) bad surprise! It would have been better to be very clear from the start, or even to add this 1,200 euros to the initial price...

Our skipper was not Gabriele but his younger brother, who was of a rare sweetness. The boat is very well maintained and the towels and sheets, perfect. The organization of the tour was painstaking and elastic, and the skipper Alessandro always ready to satisfy our requests! We were very lucky with the weather and with the company. An immediately close-knit and united group was created that was ready to face everything, from the great culinary days to the still stranded. Although I am not a lover of the sea I leave this week with great sadness, and I would be ready to set sail again, with the brave Alessandro to guide us and the rest of the group able to cope with everything! Thank you for this experience :-)

I give 1 star because it doesn't give me the option to give 0... at the last minute Gabriele told us that he would not be the skipper and trimmed us a 70-year-old bifolco who had no idea how to make a group, zero communication, did not know basic things of the Aeolian Islands (fortunately - or his misfortune - I am from the area and I understood very well that he just wanted to avoid certain places for laziness) and the winds (or at least he did not care to warn us so much that the first day he made us have lunch with very rough seas and some guys in the group felt sick). Not to mention that he hasn't washed for the whole week... also it is not at all true that we travel all together, announcement fuffa to entice us: we saw the crew of only one of the 2 boats one evening because I complained about this aspect so I felt even more teased considering that on this occasion I realized the TOTAL differences: our old boat, them in luxury AT THE SAME PRICE. Shame
