About me

I was born on July 14 in Ognina, on the seafront of Catania. My mother was Istrian, my father was from Parma, the German obstetrician. Wandering by DNA and vocation, I have always gone to sea. With my last 14m sloop, I accompany my guests to discover the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands, offering them the opportunity to have a different holiday. a holiday characterized by the discovery of enchanting locations, in the name of nature, relaxation and good company, I am interested in wines (Onav diploma), cooking and catering and I will be happy to accompany you and guide you also in the universe of taste of this wonderful land. In the months of July and August, together with my partner Laura - a divine cook - we offer the kitchen service on board, preparing some traditional Sicilian dishes. Kitchen service is included in the price. I joined Sailsquare because I find the platform decidedly smart.

My experience

I am a 55-year-old skipper with a great love and respect for the sea. I learned to swim on the lava shores of Catania in 1967 and since then... I have always gone to sea! First in windsurfing, then on dinghies arriving at boats, first rented and then owned. I have sailed throughout the Mediterranean, always putting the safety of my crew and my boat first. The great love that binds me to Sicily and all its archipelagos meant that I spent a lot of time sailing in this area, and then chose the Aeolian Islands as a privileged location. With my last 14m sloop, I have created a project to accompany my guests to discover the Aeolian archipelago in total safety, offering them the opportunity to have a different holiday. A holiday characterized by the discovery of enchanting locations, in the name of nature, relaxation and good company.

Wonderful holiday! The Aeolian Islands have proved to be a splendid destination from all points of view, landscape, nature and food and wine. Giacomo accompanied us in this fantastic experience by telling us the history and many anecdotes about the islands, but also preparing fabulous gourmet dinners based on exceptional local products (fresh tuna and capers truly unforgettable). Unfortunately for the whole week the wind was rather weak, if not absent, so we could not sail, but for everything else the Aeolian Islands deserve the fame they have. Overall holiday and skipper super recommended!

It was a nice experience overall, the boat is well maintained, the skipper is friendly and helpful, and the sights are lovely. The less positive things are: the visit to the winery even if you see a magnificent panorama is a rip-off for naïve tourists. While as a navigation I would have personally preferred to see more coves or more different places to swim or snorkel and spend more nights at anchor or in any case away from the port to be more in nature, perhaps using the tender that has never been used and decreasing the costs of marinas.

Giacomo è molto gentile e di compagnia. È molto attento a soddisfare le esigenze di tutti i partecipanti e aiuta l'equipaggio a viaggiare in armonia. La barca è dotata di attrezzature per rendere l'esperienza più divertente come un Sup e pinne con maschere per i partecipanti. Per quanto riguarda il programma, viste le condizioni meteo ottimali, forse avrei preferito almeno una o due sere in più in rada in quanto spesso le marine alle Eolie non offrono servizi all'altezza dei costi ma questo non dipende da Giacomo in quanto il giro è stato preventivamente condiviso con noi.
