Salvatore is an experienced and wise skipper. It may seem a little rough in the ways but you have to know him a little and trust his experience. He has a sense of humor and sensitivity in catching people, and if you can get into the syntax he really gives the best of himself. Particular then not indifferent: he is a very good cook!

Salvatore is a very good commander and excellent host: he knows perfectly the areas in which he sails and this allows you to fully enjoy the Islands, between bays and beautiful anchorages and excellent advice on where to eat on land or what experiences to do; always ready to take advantage of the wind sailing as soon as possible, involving the crew in the maneuvers and in the management of the boat (which is not obvious!); he is also an excellent cook and will amaze and spoil you with his always delicious dishes. In short, a holiday that I would recommend to everyone! I will definitely come back as soon as possible! Thank you and Good Wind

Salvatore is a great expert and lovers of Sailing! He knows very well the routes and moorings of the islands. It makes you feel comfortable in the Sonja boat but at the same time a guest. We had a great time with the crew... And then cook great dishes! Super recommended, you will love sailing with him

The holiday with Salvatore was really exciting. The great discovery was to find a person capable and experienced in his work, but also enthusiastic and willing to make you participate in what is life on a sailboat. Whenever the wind allowed us, Salvatore was ready to sail, making the whole crew fully participatory. Surely it was a holiday that taught us to appreciate the rhythms and the "rules" of the sea, to savor something different and deeper than a normal holiday. Also noteworthy are Salvatore's culinary skills, a certainty! We hope to find him again soon for a new trip!

It is difficult to enclose in a few words what my first sailing holiday has been able to give me. Aromas, flavors, atmospheres, emotions envelop you and involve you with such intensity that you let them guide you offshore. Seeing the sea ripple under the reflection of the light of a warm sun and the moonlight accompany you on a night crossing are ecstasies that I will always carry with me. Thanks again to the Skipper for giving an intense color to my holiday and for his efforts in making you understand what it means to live the sea, respect its nature as well as teach you how his love and his passion for sailing can give vigor. I recommend this holiday to those who like to leave the parts on the surface and dive into the depths to discover that pristine realities still exist.

We rented Salvatore's boat exclusively. We were 6 friends in our 30s. Salvatore is a great expert in sea and sailing. First of all, he will always think about everyone's safety. Unfortunately of the islands included in the itinerary we had to skip two (Filicudi, Alicudi) as they were not reachable for reasons of time, but the rest of the itinerary was very nice. A relaxing holiday with different possibilities to go ashore and visit the small villages. The prices of buoys and moorings are not always cheap but Salvatore went the extra mile to always find the most affordable option and we were never disappointed. Salvatore independently manages the kitchen and galley and is an excellent cook, his boat is like his home. Those of us who wanted to actively participated in the maneuvers. Despite the poor wind and the great heat everything went well. Thank you!

Salvatore is an experienced skipper and lover of sailing. Despite having an inexperienced group like ours, and a sea that is not always simple, he did everything possible to show us the most beautiful parts of the Aeolian Islands. On the personal aspect, Salvatore is a bit of a sea wolf, he does not communicate much and this has sometimes led to misunderstandings. Overall it was a nice experience but recommended for flexible people.

It was my first sailing experience. Salvatore was a fantastic and experienced skipper, also a very good cook. He really made us feel comfortable and made us participate in some maneuvers of the boat. It was truly a wonderful week, relaxing, fun... to be repeated again to the cry of "set sail the still Ingenuity'!"

It was my first sailing trip, and it was gorgeous. Salvatore is super experienced, an excellent cook, and always available, for advice on what to see and / or do. I hope to be able to come back soon to hear him scream "Engineer, the top blè!"

it was my first sailing trip, and it was magnificent. Salvatore is a competent and experienced skipper, a fundamental quality to be able to "live the sea" in an optimal way. he is also an excellent cook, his passion for the sea goes hand in hand with that for cooking! I recommend trips with Salvatore because he is attentive to the needs of the crew and will make you feel at home! I can't wait to go back to the mainsail with him!

It was a really great trip. Salvatore made us live the sea and the boat I believe in the fullest meaning of the terms. We immediately felt part of the crew, sharing spaces and experiences and participating in the maneuvers of sailing, as much as possible. Personally I was fascinated by the maritime world and I will certainly repeat the experience. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

The trip to the Aeolian Islands with Salvatore was a wonderful experience. Salvatore is an experienced navigator, he knows how to understand and meet everyone's needs and is also an excellent cook. If the opportunity arises I will be happy to be part of his crew again. Thanks for everything!

Clean and comfortable boat. Salvatore is a serious person, a competent skipper, attentive to the needs of guests. You go sailing as soon as the wind allows it. Pleasant surprise also its great capacity in the kitchen. I hope to get back on board with him

The Aeolian Islands with Salvatore are inimitable. Expert skipper, he knows how to convey the passion of sailing in the magic of the enchanting Sicilian islands.

Reading some other reviews of Salvatore, I confirm his strong passion for the sea, for sailing, for cooking and I add one thing: in a week of sailing he made me very passionate about me too. He managed to convey to me a charge of adrenaline and emotion from the first time the sails were inflated. It was great to be able to handle the tops and rudder of the boat, thank you! He also explained well and in a very comprehensive way some notions of sailing that for me were very interesting. He deeply knows the territory, the wind conditions, the hooks with people on the ground (restaurants, bars, moorings). an aperitif for lunch with the hedgehogs that he caught us with machera and fins ;) Accommodate any request (as far as possible) on food, routes and more

Salvatore made us enjoy the pleasure of sailing, rediscovering a whole new sense of time. Great expert in navigation and the sea, he made us always feel safe in every move or stop, he was able to advise us on hidden corners and take us to beautiful coves. It takes a spirit of adaptation for a week in confined spaces with new people, but if lived with the right spirit the experience becomes unique and unforgettable, absolutely to be redone! I sincerely hope to be able to share the sea with Salvatore again.

Salvatore has a deep love for the sea and manages to transmit it all. He is an experienced sailor with the desire to teach what he knows. If, like me, you have never tried this kind of holiday, Salvatore is the right person because he will put you at ease and make you have fun. He gave us a lot of advice on where to go, what to do and also on how to save, for example preferring to move by rubber dinghy from the boat to the mainland rather than stopping every night in port. He is a good chef and the evenings with him are pleasant and full of stories and laughter. I hope to have the opportunity to travel with him again.

The week in the Aeolian Islands was an unforgettable experience, especially for those approaching the world of sailing for the first time. Salvatore is an experienced and passionate skipper, as well as a very nice person and always super available, ready to meet everyone's needs and to provide useful advice to save money during the holiday (for example limit the moorings at the port using private dinghies that have a much lower cost). The boat was clean (washed every morning) and taken care of. Another interesting aspect: Salvatore is a great cook! We will definitely take more holidays with him and I really recommend an experience of this kind with Salvatore.
