Mauro is a professional and experienced commander. Despite the not exactly favorable weather conditions, it allowed us to take a tour of the islands safely. At the same time he is a talkative and nice person who has been able to make a group with us guests on board. Betty is a hostess who knows how to be very discreet and at the same time caring: she pampered us by preparing excellent dishes daily of local and non-local cuisine. Betty also actively participates in life on board and maneuvers in aid of the captain so that guests just have to think about relaxing and enjoying the holiday.
Betty and Mauro two professionals; prepared and passionate about the sea and sailing.
The boat comfortable and maintained bena.
This allowed us a nice holiday without stress or mishaps. Experience to be repeated.
Good!

Three fantastic days at the Pontine... The professionalism, experience and sympathy of Mauro and Betty have made this holiday unforgettable and to be repeated for sure!!!
I had my first experience on a sailing boat and like any self-respecting beginner I had a great fortune: I met a highly professional team as well as very pleasant company. Mauro and Betty live their work with passion and joy transmitting all the enthusiasm to their guests; they are a safety both at sea and on land! Team recommended for those who want to make a real holiday "without worries" on a sailing boat.
Wonderful experience on board. Mauro and Betty were able to welcome us with great hospitality and sympathy. Expert skippers and connoisseurs of the sea: we have always sailed safely. Their wide knowledge of the islands allowed them to spend a week in complete relaxation (despite it being the week of August) between coves and unique experiences such as the night view of the sciara in Stromboli. Do not forget the excellent lunches prepared by Betty with local products.
Fantastic week not only for the beautiful islands, the comfortable boat, the favorable weather and the nice travel companions but above all for the organization and professionalism of Mauro and Betty who made our holidays varied and cheerful.
Only negative point ..... because of Betty's excellent cuisine and Mauro's excellent malvasia ... the scale on the return marked +2 kg.
See you soon.... let's start planning the new holiday together.
Unfortunately, this crew was not the right fit for me. The boat and the locations were great, however there were too many inconveniences inflicted by the crew. Food was scarce, with very little fresh anything (think stale bread, rotten kiwis and Nutella for breakfast). There was only one low-power USB port available for two guests, which meant my camera/phone couldn't be charged. (Crew refused to let guests use their USB charging ports despite repeated requests.) Crew wouldn't accept my carry-on size soft bag because it had wheels (they said wheels punch holes on the floor?!) I had to transfer my belongings to an Ikea bag on first day and back on final day. We anchored overnight, but going to shore was a massive effort. (Skipper was either busy or not available.) Like I said, the islands were beautiful, but the crew has lots to improve.
Mauro and Betty are a security, they have experience and you can see, they are not improvised. They know very well the places where they bring their guests, they know how to tell them and make them savor in every detail delighting you even with local dishes cooked on the boat, they know how to navigate but also socialize with people. A holiday with them is also all this is not just going sailing or taking a selfie from a boat to show it to friends.
Very nice experience with Mauro and Betty, a real pleasure to sail on his sailboat, spacious and comfortable! Too bad that at Les Eoliennes, it is not possible to use the sail (too much or not enough wind).
We spent a beautiful week aboard a particularly comfortable and spacious boat. Mauro is a caring commander and Betty a test cook, a sea wolf. They transmitted to us their passion for navigation and for the beautiful Aeolian nature. Not just a holiday, but an experience of freedom!
Mauro and Betty are two extraordinary people and expert connoisseurs of the Aeolian Islands, as well as competent professionals in their work.
The boat with personal bathroom certainly leaves more intimacy than others.
Betti's cuisine is super and very varied, at the end of the meal Mauro's Malvasia never fails. Would stay here again tomorrow...
