Ho fatto questa vacanza nel 2021 e ogni volta amo riguardare le foto e i video. Mi è rimasta nel cuore. La cordialità, la simpatia e la disponibilità di Daniele mi hanno permesso di vivere al meglio questa esperienza. Mi sono sentita subito a casa e a mio agio. La barca bellissima, super comoda e pulita. Le isole Egadi sono un vero paradiso. Ogni isola ha il suo fascino e la sua bellezza.

The Egadi Islands as you have never seen them on a 16-meter boat (private bathroom) with Hostess

Daniele ha dato e si è dato al minimo sindacale in questa settimana, in alcuni momenti scortese e francamente dai modi discutibili e al limite della mala educazione. A volte il clima della barca era tutt'altro che disteso e rilassante in sua presenza. Non ha mai condiviso un pasto con noi. Sembrava avesse anche fastidio di avere gente intorno, quindi il senso dell accoglienza e del divertimento che descrive non torna con l'esperienza fatta. Ha dormito per giornate intere senza farsi neanche vedere quando eravamo in porto (la maggior parte della vacanza). Nel pratico La descrizione spese extra pubblicata su sailsquare può trarre in inganno. Mettete in conto oltre alla quota base più di 600 euro (260 + 300) euro di spese extra e no più di 300 come descritto. Note positive: ristorante suggerito a Levanzo, buona musica quando c'era, barca confortevole. La presenza di Ana, la hostess. Grazie comunque Daniele che ho potuto fare questa esperienza e di conoscere tante belle persone. -------------RISPOSTA DELLO SKIPPER-------------------Ciao Monica, mi spiace che le tue aspettative non siano state appagate. Sul mio comportamento, che tu definisci poco socievole e poco divertente, non posso controbattere in nessun modo, se non invitarti a leggere altre recensioni che mi descrivono in maniera completamente diversa. Aggiungo che la garanzia che io mi impongo di dare è sicuramente una conduzione della barca responsabile, esperta e in sicurezza. Poi caratterialmente non riesco a giudicarmi ma, appunto, altri hanno espresso un parere diverso dal tuo, lascio quindi a ognuno il suo giudizio. Mi spiace che questo aspetto ti abbia portato a giudicarmi con solo 2 stelle su 5, nonostante tu abbia anche evidenziato degli aspetti positivi. Per quanto riguarda la navigazione, nonostante il meteo avverso, siamo riusciti a farvi vedere tutto l’arcipelago. La scelta di dormire una notte in più in porto è stata una scelta condivisa dall’equipaggio al fine di poter vedere l’isola di Favignana, poiché il meteo ci avrebbe costretto nella stessa rada per tre giorni. Nel pratico la quota del package extra è ben specificata e le spese extra, che avete apprezzato, includo anche i vini e il pesce (es: i gamberi rossi di Mazara) che avete degustato con piacere. Un ringraziamento anche a te per essere stata mia ospite.

Siamo stati davvero bene! La barca è molto spaziosa e sia a poppa che prua c'è spazio per stare tutti insieme, Daniele è esperto ed essendo della zona sa muoversi perfettamente sia in acqua che fuori ed Ana è una hostess discreta, gentile e sempre attenta.
