This experience, in a nutshell

San Vito lo Capo is a corner of paradise and the Cous Cous Fest is a beautiful and inclusive festival. The undisputed protagonist of the event is couscous, a dish rich in history and an element of synthesis and integration of Mediterranean cultures.


In Sicily the end of September is a time of beautiful, clear and windy days and the sailboat is ideal for sailing free in the wonderful waters of this paradise at the western end of Sicily.


In the morning we will sail between the Zingaro Reserve, Scopello, Makari and the Monte Cofano Reserve, while in the evening we will spend the night in San Vito Lo Capo, to fully enjoy the culinary and musical events of the Cous Cous Fest

Discovering the Aeolian Islands Between Nature, Relaxation and Fun

Good fifth ... sailing Eolie with Giovanni and his [hidden], a jewel of absolute comfort, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, possible to replicate only with him. Because Giovanni spends himself to the maximum, all the time committed to introducing us to enchanted pieces of the Aeolian Islands, in-depth knowledge of the islands his... He knows everything about everything. Kindness, courtesy, understanding, management of unforeseen events, natural ability to make your guests feel at home, in your home, to make them feel like a group, Giovanni has a generous heart... and where there is heart there is everything. Be careful, however, there are fundamental rules, mandatory to be respected to close the circle of this unforgettable sailing. Seven days, each one different from the other, relaxation and fun at full speed, music, super-delicious aperitifs on absolute sunsets, flavors of an extraordinary cuisine prepared with care and passion that I would never have discovered if not spending all the time with him and his new adventure companions. Not just boating, an experience with high added value that after so much sailing with different skippers I didn't think could come true. Thank you very much Giovanni... you gave me a dream... Seeing is believing.

An amazing week in the Aeolian Islands: incredible sea, islands that never disappoint and that beauty that gets under your skin. Too bad only for the little wind and the very heat, but they did not take anything away from the experience. I have never been bored: gossip, controversy, quarrels, laughter... A perfect mix that made this holiday unforgettable. I met wonderful people, each with their own story, their own character, their own light. And then there is Giovanni, our skipper: professional, patient, attentive. An excellent cook and a person who first studies, observes, understands... And only then does it open up, showing its truest side, the dedicated one, that of the smiles that come when it decides you can see them. Thank you from the Mad Mermaid 🚨🤣, who has lived it all this week, up to the last wave.

We were at our first experience on a boat and we could not have chosen a better solution to enjoy the Aeolian Islands in August. Giovanni is a super skipper, in addition to being a true professional, he entertained us with his stories and his fantastic recipes. In 7 days a beautiful understanding is created with the crew.
