review about COUS COUS FEST: A Long Week End of Sea, Sailing and Cous Cous! September 2022

What to say about David except that for me he is THE Commander! I lived intense days full of emotions and THE Commander with extreme skill, has been able to 'sink the blow' to sanction the cohesion of a group of strangers evidently moved by the desire to have fun and also to share. His role was decisive. We let ourselves be transported into a world made of colors, music and the scents of the dishes that he himself prepared for us. What goodness! I trust to get back on board your boat Davide, thank you for everything !!

Davide's boat is not only a sailing boat. It is a place where you experience plenty of emotions. Its captain is very attentive when it come to security on board and had always an open ear for us. Davide is not only an experienced skipper but also an excellent cook. I ate some of the best pastas and risottos on board. And you won’t leave the table without having a glass of amaro and some Sicilian chocolate. He is a lovely person who made the whole crew feel welcome. And in a few minutes I felt like home on his boat. He knows how to create a great atmosphere on board. I won’t forget the karaoke, the parties and aperitifs we had. But also we shared our emotions and experiences. After a week spent together, we had forgotten the concept of time. We felt like we have been living together since weeks and got used to living by the rhythm of the sea. All this could not have been possible without Davide. Thanks Davide for the magical experience!

A very interesting tour of the Aeolian Islands that embraced all the islands with a hospitable boat and an excellent group of people who became more and more close-knit sailing, also thanks to the dishes cooked by Davide.

Definitely one of the best sailing experiences, despite the unforgiving weather in recent days. Davide is a truly exceptional skipper, precise and very prepared. With the necessary flexibility, every day has been planned to perfection: you can see that behind it there has been a great job! The element, however, that make Davide a truly exceptional skipper is his ability in the kitchen. Rarely have I eaten such good home cooking in my life, by the way, all on a boat! Davide, thank you for everything!

Nice holiday in great company!! Highlights: - security and organization - very nice and clean boat - skipper skill in navigation - phenomenal cook :D To be improved: - too many extra expenses, dinners at the restaurant - 3 nights out of 4 in port, only 1 at anchor - privacy (strangers boarded one evening without notice) Until next time!! <3

The Egadi Islands are beautiful. Davide is a very good skipper and a great cook. I forgot, his cocktails deserve to be tried (word of Venetians!). Very close-knit group, recommended experience!

The Egadi Islands are the islands of dreams and David was a fantastic Cicero.... good skipper, superlative cook, he pampered his crew from beginning to end with small and degrees of attention throughout the cruise creating an atmosphere of magic. Thank you very much and see you soon!

The experience was nothing short of fantastic. In addition to the indisputable beauty of the Egadi Islands and the numerous paradisiacal coves, the extra quid was definitely the skipper, Davide. He knew how to make us appreciate and fully experience the magic of the sailboat and the fun of a group holiday. The only sore point is that it's all so beautiful, exciting and fun that when you get back to earth, the melancholy is crazy.

A holiday of which I will always carry with me the memory of the breathtaking views of the Egadi, the company of 9 other people who from "perfect strangers" have become unforgettable travel companions, sunset dances and improvised parties. Davide is an attentive and reliable skipper, a cook and a skilled barman: a special person. I can't wait to get back on board the Sun Beam!

All-round skipper!!! From "sea wolf" to "barman and starred cook"... If you want a holiday where you can recharge your batteries entrust your precious time to Davide, surely you will not regret it!!!

"Every crew Each cruise is a separate trip Arrive without expectations and you will be amazed", so David wrote to me and so it is and will be a journey with him. A unique experience that makes you go from the joy of sailing among the flock of seagulls, to the discovery of the flavors of Sicily cooked by Davide in an unexpected gift, to laughter between wild dances and endless cocktails, to silence in front of the beauty of the Egadi Islands, to swims in a sea with a thousand shades of blue, to the stories of one's lives among forgotten emotions, meeting with new friends. Our crew immediately found a special harmony thanks to Davide's ability to create unique moments that I do not anticipate here because the beauty of the trip is the discovery! Thank you Captain and you fellow travelers for this cathartic experience. Good Wind

The reviews of my fellow travelers (Antonio, Fausto and Selene) perfectly summed up the holiday week just passed. I don't know what extra to add.. In fact, I have one thing... Captain Davide I hope to be able to hug you again soon to spend another holiday together!!

Davide's boat transported us to another dimension, our helmsman turned out to be a man of a thousand colors, captain / professor / cook / philosopher / magician / mentalist every day was a discovery, but the ability to give love and attention to his crew is unparalleled. I spent a week full of emotions, we laughed, danced, played and even cried. I thank you captain for the wonderful week, I will carry it forever with me along with all the crew. A hug to Davide C.

Returning from my first Sailsquare holiday, sailing on the beautiful boat driven by Davide, I struggle to extrapolate the dominant emotion ... Actually, if I had to identify the whole thing in an image... it would be a palette of beautiful colors, and it is in the multitude of those shades that you stop to reflect, on how beneficial the slow passage of time is, on the meaning of life and its beauty, as well as on the amazement that is renewed every time you observe it from a different perspective. All this surrounded by the beautiful setting of the Aeolian Islands. I was reflecting on this this morning... because I just can't hold back this smile, and this only happens when you're happy or in love. So what else to say, I can't just recommend it... that would be an understatement. But I can guarantee, that for those looking for refreshment for body and soul, our "Magical" Captain and his boat are the right therapy. See you soon! Selene

Davide has shown himself to be attentive and precise both in the management of the boat, in the various problems related to bad weather, and in interpersonal relationships. As a chef he was really perfect, allowing us to feel all the scents of Sicily in his dishes. The Aeolian Islands are enchanting. The Boat nice, clean and spacious. I arrived with a backpack and left with a suitcase full of emotions.

review about Discovering Cefalù and Pollina between Relax, Nature and Comfort June 2020

10 / 10

It was the first sailing experience and as soon as I set foot on the ground I already felt nostalgia. Davide has been able to create a magical, fun and sometimes even deep atmosphere: many different souls have mixed for three days giving life to a wonderful group of traveling companions. It was only three days and despite the rough sea I will remember it as a unique experience, to be repeated! The boat is beautiful and also very convenient and comfortable, the pampering of the skipper with his dishes, his truly exceptional cocktails make the difference. There was no lack of joy but there were also moments of deep and inner reflection. thank you for this unique weekend that I will want to repeat as soon as possible!

review about COUS COUS FEST: A Week of Sea, Sailing and Cous Cous! September 2019

Perfect for those who love to party moored in port-----------------------SLOY SKIPPER------------------------And yes, unfortunately you were not lucky with the weather that forced us to stay in the pier 2 of the 3 days scheduled for the cruise. Anyway, the sailing with 30 knots of Scirocco of the first day, with you to the mainsail that you took buckets of water will remain memorable :-). Too bad that 45 knots arrived in the following days and we could no longer leave the port. I must say, that all in all we were lucky as the spirit of the crew remained high, despite the weather, and we still managed to organize fun activities on the ground. I am also happy that you and your partner finally decided to stay a free night more in port, and that despite the bad weather, you still consoled yourself by giving bottom to the reserves of your galley (especially the cellar ;) during the holidays moored in the port ;-) Thanks again for your company, I hope to have you back on board soon but this time in good weather!

10 and praise! When professionalism is combined with a special sensitivity, the experience becomes unique! Davide made the difference: he allowed a very high level of interaction with his attention to every little detail, ensuring a climate of cohesion between people so different from each other. Despite welcoming us the bad weather and an adverse weather that forced us to review the program, the holiday was not affected in any way .. we enjoyed music, food and conviviality. A magical atmosphere that accompanied us on every excursion as well as on board and on land. Obviously like all beautiful things... this wonderful adventure ended too soon!!! Thanks David ... you made my days!?
