Your skipper
Hi, I'm Antonio
I'm from Messina, a skipper and sailing instructor. The Aeolian Islands are my home waters: I know which coves stay sheltered when the wind shifts, the right time to reach Stromboli, and where to find the best fish.
On board, my job is to make sure you can relax: I take care of the sailing, you just enjoy the swimming. And if you'd like to learn, I'll happily hand you the helm.

“There are trips that stay on your skin like salt after a long swim. Our Aeolian experience, 8 friends on a sailing boat with Antonio, was exactly that: an immersion in beauty, calm and authenticity. […] Antonio wasn’t just our skipper, but a travel companion who naturally became part of the group.”Translated from Italian
