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.
