Overwhelmed by an Unusual Destiny ... In the Flotilla!

Unforgettable holiday. Andrea is an excellent skypper, always attentive and helpful. Excellent cook, will delight you with his delicacies and will introduce you to the most beautiful places of the Aeolian Islands. Super comfortable catamaran. Enchanting Aeolian Islands. I will be back as soon as possible and absolutely recommend this holiday :)

It was a great holiday!!! Andrea was impeccable throughout. He is a very good skipper (the best I have ever met), he knows all the islands perfectly and thanks to him we visited spectacular places. His boat is perfect and comfortable, each cabin has its own bathroom and there is no lack of space on board. Last but not least, Andrea is also an excellent cook (how many have eaten grilled fish cooked on board?). Everything was perfect, also thanks to the crew friends. I can only add that we are looking forward to the next holiday, hopefully very soon. Highly recommended!

It was my first sailing holiday and it was a wonderful experience! Andrea is a very prepared and helpful skipper, as well as an excellent cook! The boat is clean and comfortable, snorkeling equipment and sup are also available, to be able to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Aeolian Islands to the fullest. Even when the weather was not the best, Andrea was able to perfectly reconcile the changes in the program and our requests, also advising us on wonderful excursions. SUPER RECOMMENDED!

It was a beautiful holiday, wonderful places from land and sea, which from the boat we experienced with exclusivity. Andrea is an experienced skipper both in navigation and in the management of the group, in fact he managed to coordinate us despite not all knowing each other, and we became very close-knit. He was also an outstanding cook, spoiling us with fresh fish every day. Highly recommended!

A beautiful, fun and relaxing experience. Andrea quickly put us to our age, he is SUPER available and has been able to meet the needs of all of us. Professional skipper who with his precision and serenity transmits confidence (well-kept and clean boat). He was able to recommend the best places in the Aeolian Islands and is definitely a GREAT chef (ps even I miss the grilled fish and pasta pots ...). Experience to be repeated!

With Andrea it was a beautiful holiday. He is a very experienced skipper who always makes you feel safe and at ease, a very good chef and manages to manage travel groups very well. He also knows the Aeolian Islands perfectly and therefore knows how to recommend beautiful excursions. Highly recommended!

Andrea was a perfect skipper, it was my first boat holiday, I had some fears but I really couldn't ask for better. Attentive and helpful, always ready to meet your needs, obviously weather conditions permitting. It also cooks very well and I already miss its pots full of pasta and fish or its grills! And the Aeolian Islands... they are very cool, to make beautiful swims, walks and relax fully. Highly recommended

The 5 stars are a must! Skipper, company, boat, islands.. all magical! An unforgettable holiday.

Andrea is the ideal skipper for the holiday of friends, families and acquaintances. Among his talents stands out the love for the sea, the free spirit and respect for the world. With these qualities he manages to transfer security in the management of the boat, he knows how to be discreet, transparent and at the same time present in time of need or for a simple chat. Attentive both in the care and cleanliness of the boat and in the needs of its guests. I immediately felt at ease as if he were a long-time friend: His elasticity makes him read the situation and adapt in a chameleonic way playing different roles from the strict owner to the carefree friend, always in the interest of guests and safety. In short, thanks to him and all the guests I spent a beautiful bridge of early summer. Last but not least is a great cook!

Lovely holiday... simple and elegant surreal landscapes, unspoiled nature. Andrea is a skipper with high professionalism and competence. We made the night crossing and organized every move in a comfortable and light way making us discover the most beautiful and truest part of the Aeolian Islands. He is at home there... Experience to be repeated!!

Andrea is a great cook and an experienced skipper. Apart from that for me it was a very bad experience: he treated the crew badly, zero availability and organized everything according to his personal needs (not related to weather or navigation conditions) and imposed it without warning. The flotilla of the description is a lie: he does not want to join other boats and have a mess on his. SKIPPER'S ANSWER: I am sorry that Mrs. Elena M. if this is really the name, is not objective and given the honesty and availability I showed towards the whole crew I am surprised to read this comment, among other things written after a year from the cruise and above all, initially, through a fake profile. I sincerely hope that the Sailquare staff, which I consider very serious, will immediately make the necessary checks. Given this, the program of the trip was very clear, as published on Sailsquare and presented on the first day at dinner in Lipari and was respected in detail. Obviously, however, those who are used to boat holidays understand that you always have the unknown of the weather and any decision has been made, in agreement with all the crew, only for safety reasons and to ensure the best navigation and mooring conditions. The cruise took place according to schedule with the choices absolutely in line with the needs of navigation and doing this work with passion and sense of responsibility for many years, the safety of my guests for me is always the priority. Needless to say, for the rest of the crew the holiday was magnificent. Just read all the reviews left by other guests. As for the flotilla, as I always explain before booking the holiday and during the breafing of the first evening, it takes place in a very elastic way, there are various crews and boats that follow the same itinerary, visit the same bays, move together, but the convivial moments in which we meet are mainly in the evening for aperitifs, parties, barbecues and during the day in the various bays. But it is absolutely not possible in the Aeolian Islands to join a package as there are no bays so quiet as to avoid the damage caused by the wave motion of passing ships. Participating in a sailing holiday therefore means respecting the needs of a group, respecting the decisions of the skipper whose only objective is the well-being and safety of the crew. If you arrive on board with other personal goals or bizarre expectations, and perhaps with situations of personal instability, you can create unpleasant inconveniences with the rest of the crew and especially with the skipper. I am therefore amazed by the personal attacks of Mrs. Elena M, being fully aware and absolutely certain of having, as always, worked for the best of the crew and in compliance with the rules.

Andrea is a great skipper, he takes care of everything on board, from the safety of people to the kitchen. I had a beautiful and relaxing week. Andrea is a great cook, the best squid ever!

Recently returned from a week to the Aeolian Islands ... my first experience in sailing and certainly not the last because it was overwhelming ... Talking about Andrea is not easy... is the typical "man of the sea" ... free and independent spirit that comes into perfect contact with nature... and decides the times and ways to "give" himself unreservedly to mankind... and this is part of his reserved character, his "job" and his professionalism. We encountered a lot of turbulence, the weather was not ours, but Andrea never put us in dangerous conditions allowing us to fully enjoy a holiday of relaxation and exploration of the wonders of the place. I thank Andrea because when I had a personal problem he intervened in my help without hesitation showing great availability and seriousness. Also great cook, experienced skipper and clean boat, well maintained and very comfortable! What about Good Sailing to all and THANK YOU CAPTAIN ;)

TOP HOLIDAY! Andrea the skipper absolutely a guarantee, professional, connoisseur of beautiful places and restaurants, very good at cooking and ready to accommodate the requests of us guests, is able to put you at ease in two minutes! Also nice is the idea of sailing in a flotilla, often in the stops in the various coves and in the evening when you went down to the islands, you had the opportunity to meet many people from the other boats. Comfortable boat, right company, what else to add? The sunrises, yes the sunrises are to be added, the most beautiful ever seen. Thanks again cap! Joseph.

Great week with professional skipper, correct and nice. Nice and close-knit crew on the boat and on land. Good route and places visited. Experience to be repeated!

It is difficult to describe in words what this holiday has been as well as it is difficult to describe the many different shades of blue of the sea that we have sailed. Not only did Andrea show us the natural beauty of the Aeolian Islands but he made us taste the flavors with wonderful dishes prepared by him. The sea lived in the boat allows you to listen to it and to listen to yourself and get to know your travel companions in a unique way.

In the flotilla in the Aeolian Islands we felt the owners of the 7 sisters, Andrea and the other skippers know every remote corner that they did not spare themselves to share with us. We were overwhelmed by spectacular sunsets, crystal clear water, yummy food and party nights... what an unusual and magnificent fate!!!

Sailing in a flotilla with a professional like Andrea is first of all an honor, and then a pleasure, for his great skills and experience of navigation. Great organizer and promoter. Fun for guests is guaranteed. And for us... Colleagues... at his side have the security of having a friend always on the same route.

I spent a week of vacation on the boat with Andrea and a beautiful crew with whom I found myself perfectly at ease establishing a pleasant relationship immediately. Andrea is a super captain, sometimes he may seem a bit shy or immersed in his thoughts, but in reality he is a discreet person who does not miss anything that happens on his boat, without ever missing an opportunity to joyfully join the crew in the evening outings. He is professional and prepared, the boat is clean and well looked after. Last but not least, he is a great cook! He always prepared tasty dishes often based on freshly caught fish! Thank you Andrea for helping me spend a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful experience! Andrea is a very prepared and nice skipper. He is also a very good cook. He has an excellent knowledge of the Aeolian Islands: the places he has proposed both at sea and on land are really very beautiful and unique. The boat is quite spacious and certainly very comfortable. I highly recommend him and hope to be able to participate in a new adventure with him!
