Nous avons pris le forfait 3 nuits-4 jours dans les îles éoliennes, sur le beau voilier de Mario et nous avons adoré l'expérience. Malgré les différences de langue (français, anglais et italien), nous avons très bien su nous comprendre..Mario est patient et fait des efforts pour bien communiquer Mario a su nous accueillir et nous aider a s' installer a bord. Mario nous a fait découvrir les îles et nous a amener dans de superbes criques . On a participer à l'élaboration du trajet , selon nos goûts et nos attentes.. Toujours souriant , Mario nous fait découvrir sa passion et son experience pour la voile ( malheureusement pas beaucoup de vent lors de notre voyage🫤) Mais quand même sorti les voiles quelques fois. Quelle belle expérience ..je recommande a 100%...avec Mario, !!

Superbe croisière sur le bateau de Mario ! Nous avons passé un séjour hors du temps entre les îles éoliennes. Il nous apprend aussi bien la voile que l'italien ! Je recommande fortement ce séjour à bord du beau bâteau de Mario.

Esperienza promossa a pieni voti. Una settimana in barca a vela con uno skipper esperto e disponibile come Mario, è il modo migliore per visitare le isole Eolie. Abbiamo toccato tutte le isole navigando a vela (vento permettendo) e assaporando il fascino dei vulcani: Stromboli in attività by night e salita sull'orlo del cratere di Vulcano. Anche il mare offre bagni particolari con acque a 40°C a Vulcano e le emissione gassose della solfatarta di Lisca binaca. Mario è molto attento alla meteo e alla ricerca dei migliori ormeggi per il massimo confort degli ospiti. Vacanza consigliata.

Settimana alle Eolie bellissima e indimenticabile, seppur i primi 3 giorni sono stati caratterizzati dal tempo burrascoso, ma Mario ha saputo scegliere baie e posti sicuri. Skipper esperto e bravissimo a coinvolgerci nella gestione della barca e delle vele. Le Eolie sono una più bella dell'altra e l'escursione con guida allo Stromboli per vedere le eruzioni in notturna è stata emozionante ed unica, cosa che ha fatto dimenticare la fatica per salire sù e poi scendere.
