Egadi Islands: a dream between sea and land

My wife and I spent with Nicola a wonderful holiday to discover the Egadi Islands. It was our first sailing experience and, thanks to Nicola, it turned out fantastic. He will welcome you to his home with a smile, a lot of patience and (much appreciated) even some silence. Those who choose this type of trip do so to experience the sea, fully enjoy nature, relax, learn the basic principles of sailing and spend quality time. If you want to party 24 hours a day, it is not the right holiday for you! The boat is comfortable (x4 px), clean and equipped with every comfort but, not being a hotel, it will also be up to you to help make it so. Another super thanks to Nicola! We hope to be his guests again!

Nicola is a good person, a sea wolf. He certainly has a lot of experience in browsing, but in my opinion, he should be more empathetic with the customer. For example, I had never spent six days sailing and my need was also to go ashore and visit some islands! It was hard... but in the end I managed to see some of them... not the one I would have liked, and that is Stromboli, because there was no buoy that is the place at the port .! Also here I believe that these things should be organized first with the group and not during the holiday, otherwise in the middle of August it is normal not to find any available place and consequently not to be able to go ashore! So in my opinion Salisquare should make the customer understand well what the holiday consists of, therefore, if a mere sea crossing, or even a visit to the islands! Unclear and misleading indications. Boat not for eight people including the skipper. Tender available only with the use of oars...

Nicola is undoubtedly a sea wolf, competent and available to all those who love sailing!

We are a group of guys and we stayed 6 days on the boat with Nicola in the Aeolian Islands. The boat is small enough for 6, of the 2 frighi present only 1 was working (the smallest) and the latter was half occupied by Nicola's things. Being jealous of his boat we felt a lot in awe to live there. Nicola was reluctant to our requests, such as: - take us to the "tourist" beaches, because he did not want to maneuver in the middle of so many boats - make itineraries full of destinations, because for him it was a "putting the flags" - refused to load on board one of the group from a cove in Lipari. The reasons given were the risk of delay at the mooring and having already removed the anchor, so the boy was left there In summary, the holiday climate was quite tense and there was no lack of quarrels. The advice for Nicola is to be more flexible and patient, otherwise it creates frustration for himself and for the passengers who would like to enjoy a few days of leisure-----------------------------------------------------------------SWITLEND----------------------------------------------------------------Giulia did not attend my boat, she only booked the week for a group of friends but I did not have her as a guest on board (the crew list was deposited at the Capitaneria di Capitaneria di Port of Milazzo, for confirmation). His judgment is the result of what was reported by his friends. I strongly advise against having these people on board, who first create problems and then shift the responsibility onto others. I tried at least three times to dialogue on the problems created, with the two people who I thought were most available to compare those I had on board, but they always postponed or avoided collaborating in this sense ("we talk about it after all together", "we talk about it again on arrival at port", "when we will be at dinner"), but then suggest a defamatory comment full of insults. I tried during the winter period to get in touch with them to resolve the matter amicably but they never responded. I refer to the sender the criticisms that I find written above, I simply had the misfortune to meet people not worthy of being hosted: noisy (they abundantly disturbed the boats close to us at anchor), hypocrites (they kept for themselves the difficulties encountered, only to then write this deliberately disparaging comment), liars (many of the criticisms they address to me are absolutely invented, it would be enough to ask other guests of my boat), immature (they preferred to shout insults at me when one evening they were guests of a nearby boat, to hide in anonymity and avoid confrontation), pretentious, insistent, impatient, vindictive.

As soon as it is windy enough, Nicola likes using the sail instead of the motor, and it is a real pleasure to sail like that. He is friendly but not intrusive, and patient with beginners like us. He has taught our daughter to steer the boat, which made her feel important and comfortable. The boat is very clean, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. We recommend cruises with Nicola.

Nicola is a professional. Deep connoisseur of the sea, sailing and the Egadi islands in particular. He was able to advise us so that our holiday went in the best way. Always available, he was able to give us a wonderful week in safety and tranquility. Patient in enduring a family with 3 children on his first sailing holiday. Thanks Nicola

Nicola is knowledgeable, precise, caring and helpful. Lover of the sea and its silences, of the sailboat and its slow, soft going. He was cooperative, but never intrusive, authoritative but patient with our mistakes from the first time on a sailboat. He is a master in teaching love and respect for the sea!
