A very good meeting! Mario and his boat led us comfortably, always safely, allowing us to have enough time to discover interesting and beautiful places by sea, but also by land (making us disembark). Thank you Mario!

We took the 3 nights-4 days package in the Aeolian Islands, on Mario's beautiful sailboat and loved the experience. Despite the differences in language (French, English and Italian), we understood each other very well. Mario is patient and makes an effort to communicate well Mario was able to welcome us and help us get on board. Mario showed us around the islands and took us to some great coves. We participated in the development of the route, according to our tastes and expectations. Always smiling, Mario makes us discover his passion and experience for sailing (unfortunately not much wind during our trip🫤) But still take out the sails a few times. What a great experience.. I recommend 100%... with Mario, !!

Experience passed with flying colors. A week on a sailing boat with an experienced and helpful skipper like Mario, is the best way to visit the Aeolian Islands. We touched all the islands sailing (wind permitting) and savoring the charm of the volcanoes: Stromboli in activity by night and climbing to the edge of the crater of Vulcano. The sea also offers special baths with waters at 40°C in Vulcano and the gaseous emissions of the solfatarta of Lisca binaca. Mario is very attentive to the weather and looking for the best moorings for maximum comfort for guests. Recommended holiday.
