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!

A weekend on a sailing boat in Ponza that was just PERFECT from every point of view 🌊⛵️ I can only congratulate our skipper Matteo, who proved to be not only extremely professional, but also incredibly attentive to every detail. The organization was impeccable: everything was planned with precision, but at the same time with that lightness that makes you feel immediately on vacation, without worries. The boat then... wonderful! Clean, well-kept and super welcoming, you can clearly see how much love and passion are behind it. I felt pampered from start to finish, almost like being in the family and not just like a customer. And the surprises? Truly unforgettable! I had NEVER seen a barbecue on a sailboat: a special lunch, in the middle of the sea, with the scent of the grill... something magical. And as if that were not enough, waking up on Sunday with fresh croissants was the icing on the cake 🥐✨ A gesture that encompasses all the care and attention that the skipper dedicates to his guests. It was an experience that I would do a thousand times over and that I recommend to anyone who wants to experience Ponza in an authentic, relaxing and at the same time special way. Thank you very much for this unforgettable weekend! 💙
