Discovering the Aeolian islands: nature, relaxation and fun

Our experience (colasanti and venturini) was not the best. Given that the Aeolian Islands are wonderful and we were lucky enough to travel with exceptional companions (never seen). Having said this, we would like to underline some critical issues encountered: 1. the galley must be customized for each crew, a standard list is not used regardless of the needs of some participants; 2. purchased an excessive amount of alcohol that the undersigned almost never drank but paid for in full; 3. the skipper slept and stayed during the day for several hours in the dinette limiting the movements of us passengers (reading at night in the dinette if you don't sleep so as not to disturb your cabin mate for example); 4. use of the tender are upon explicit request of some crew members (e.g. thermal water of Vulcano); 5. Booking a sea taxi when you could use the tender 6. organized evenings with clubs or restaurants where there were previously agreements with the owners of the clubs and where we often found other crews of other boats; all very and too touristy. 7. few islands visited (no Alicudi - Stromboli seen from the sea 8. Last day of sailing completely lost in bays with a lot of current and dangerous 9. prohibition of the use of showers in the bathrooms (only 1 shower + external shower could be used) 10. Really excessive expenses for marinas + fuel (we sailed only 1 time for a few hours) In the ratings, give the crew 10 stars, all supportive, altruistic and fun

All above my expectations!! Very dubious in writing a review so as not to risk not finding a place on Sun Beam anymore! I was probably lucky, a full crew in perfect harmony from the first moment, we loved each other very much and we had a lot of fun! This was possible only because we were captained by Davide who welcomed us on his boat, overwhelming us with his creativity, availability and extreme organization, allowing us, in full and constant safety of the entire crew with different sailing experiences, to fully enjoy the wonders of the Egadi islands, satisfying the eyes and the heart!! I think Sicily is wonderful and that Davide is a special captain. T O P
