This experience, in a nutshell

San Vito lo Capo is truly a corner of paradise, and the Cous Cous Fest represents a festival full of beauty and inclusiveness. The absolute protagonist of the event is couscous, a dish that carries with it a deep history and symbolizes the meeting and integration of Mediterranean cultures.


At the end of September, Sicily offers splendid, clear and breezy days, perfect conditions for sailing in the enchanting waters of this area at the western end of the island.


During the morning we will sail between the Zingaro Reserve, Scopello, Makari and the Monte Cofano Reserve; in the evening, however, we will sleep in San Vito lo Capo to fully experience the culinary and musical events of the Cous Cous Fest!

The week on the boat was pleasant thanks to a wonderful crew with whom a good bond was immediately created and who guaranteed a great mood for the duration of the holiday. The boat is very nice and spacious, and the staff is efficient in keeping it clean, taking care of the guests by cooking great dishes and also selecting very nice shore trips. Respectable bonus for the sound system. The Aeolian Islands, ça va sans dire, are a destination with a strong appeal and have kept expectations very high. However, there is a huge "but" hanging over my judgment. I think it is not acceptable that a destination like Stromboli can be arbitrarily sacrificed by the itinerary without a real reason, even if adding the wonderful Alicudi, depriving us of the spectacle that makes the Aeolian Islands unique when both the week before and the week after the itinerary has included this destination. The boat, despite being presented as a single boat, sails together with three others and, if on the one hand this allows for beautiful moments of sharing and friendship, on the other hand it affects the itinerary. As well specified, it is obvious that the last word belongs to the skipper on the route but I would have appreciated more dialogue with the crew and greater transparency with respect to the choices regarding it. Ultimately, the boat parties are beautiful, the food and music are excellent, but for some if not for many, these are secondary aspects when you decide to visit magical places like the Aeolian Islands, I would take them into consideration more for the future. It could have been a perfect holiday, it will still be a nice holiday.

Apart from the sea, I wouldn't know what else to save. It's not an experience for me.
