DAVIDE
"For me, the sailing boat is not a means of transport, but a magical bridge that transports my crew to a different world, made of different times, different flavors, different emotions. My sailing cruises are intense without being tiring. Relaxing without being boring. Exciting without being stressful. Seeing is believing..."

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME...
Some of the nicest comments, left in the logbook, by my guests
"COMING BACK FROM MY FIRST SAILSQUARE HOLIDAY, SAILING ON THE BEAUTIFUL SUN BEAM GUIDED BY DAVIDE, I HAVE A STRUGGLE TO EXTRAPOLATE THE DOMINANT EMOTION... IN REALITY, IF I HAD TO IDENTIFY EVERYTHING IN ONE 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 FLOWING OF TIME IS, ON THE MEANING OF LIFE AND ITS BEAUTY, AS WELL AS ON THE AMAZING THAT IS RENEWED EVERY TIME YOU OBSERVE IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. EVERYTHING THIS SURROUNDED BY THE BEAUTIFUL FRAME OF THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS. I WAS REFLECTING ON THIS THIS MORNING...BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T HOLD THIS SMILE, AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE HAPPY OR IN LOVE. SO WHAT ELSE TO SAY, I CAN'T SIMPLY LIMIT MYSELF TO ADVISING IT...IT WOULD BE REDUCTIONAL. BUT I CAN GUARANTEE, THAT FOR THOSE SEEKING REFRESHMENT FOR BODY AND SOUL, OUR "MAGICAL" CAPTAIN AND HIS SUN BEAM ARE THE RIGHT THERAPY. SEE YOU SOON!"

"I RETURN SATISFIED FROM A HOLIDAY FULL OF EMOTIONS. DAVIDE WAS A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY, LIKE EVERYTHING MY EYES HAVE SEEN AND MY TAPES TASTED THIS WEEK IN THE AEOLIANS.. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE OUR CAPTAIN.. .. HE'S SPECIAL.... HIS ATTENTION AND HIS CUISINE HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE... BETWEEN WONDERFUL ISLANDS ON BOARD A SPLENDID BOAT.... I TAKE AWAY WITH ME THE MEMORIES OF A MAGICAL HOLIDAY..."

"SUN BEAM... IT IS THE BOAT THAT TRANSPORTED US TO ANOTHER DIMENSION, OUR CAPTAIN REVEALED TO BE A MAN OF A THOUSAND COLORS. CAPTAIN/PROFESSOR/CHEF/PHILOSOPHER/MAGICIST/MENTALIST EVERY DAY WAS A DISCOVERY, BUT THE ABILITY TO GIVE LOVE AND ATTENTION TO HIS CREW IS UNMATCHED. I SPENT A WEEK FULL OF EMOTIONS, WE LAUGHED, DANCED, PLAYED AND EVEN CRYED. I THANK YOU COMMANDER FOR THE WONDERFUL WEEK, I WILL CARRY YOU FOREVER WITH ME TOGETHER WITH EVERYTHING THE CREW."
(FAUSTO 2020)
"DAVIDE HAS PROVED TO BE CAREFUL AND PRECISE BOTH IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BOAT, IN THE VARIOUS ISSUES RELATING TO BAD WEATHER, AND IN INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. AS A CHEF HE WAS TRULY PERFECT, ALLOWING US TO FEEL ALL THE AROMA OF SICILY IN HIS DISHES. THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS ARE ENCHANTING. THE BOAT IS BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN AND SPACIOUS. I ARRIVED WITH A BACKPACK AND LEFT WITH A SUITCASE LOADED WITH EMOTIONS."

"THERE ARE "SAILING HOLIDAYS" AND "SAILING HOLIDAYS WITH DAVIDE". AND THE SECOND, AH THE SECOND!, ARE A KALEIDOSCOPE OF FLAVORS AND SMELLS AND EMOTIONS AND LAUGHTER AND EMOTION, WHICH YOU WON'T FORGET MORE." (CHIARA 2019)
"10 AND PRAISE! WHEN PROFESSIONALISM IS MARRIED WITH A SPECIAL SENSITIVITY, THE EXPERIENCE BECOMES UNIQUE! DAVIDE HAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE: HE ALLOWED A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF INTERACTION WITH HIS ATTENTION TO EVERY SMALLEST DETAIL, GUARANTEEING A CLIMATE OF COHESION BETWEEN PEOPLE SO DIFFERENT FROM THEMSELVES. DESPITE THE BAD WEATHER AND 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 WHO ACCOMPANIED US ON EVERY EXCURSION BOTH ON BOARD AND ON LAND. OBVIOUSLY LIKE ALL BEAUTIFUL THINGS... THIS WONDERFUL ADVENTURE ENDED TOO SOON!!! THANK YOU DAVIDE ...YOU MADE MY DAYS!?"

"DAVIDE IS A SAFE AND GREAT EXPERIENCED SKIPPER. IN A FEW MINUTES THE GUESTS FEEL AT HOME. THE ENTIRE CREW IS EASY FOR THE ENTIRE CREW TO GET TOGETHER AND FEEL AT COMFORT ALSO BECAUSE HE IS ATTENTIVE TO EVERYONE'S NEEDS AND SATISFIES IF POSSIBLE EVERYONE. THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS, THE WIND, THE SEA AND DAVIDE CAN GIVE YOU A PERFECT AND UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY AS HAPPENED TO ME."
(GIUSEPPE 2017)
"DAVIDE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE. IT IMMEDIATELY SEEMS TO BE FRIENDS FOR A LONG TIME. ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND CAREFUL TO EVERYONE, GOOD AT LISTENING AND SENDING ALL THE LOVE FOR THE SEA, PROFESSIONAL AND CAREFUL." WITH HIS CREW, A PERSON WHO CAN SEE BEYOND.... EXCELLENT SKIPPER AS WELL AS AN EXCELLENT COOK. A HOLIDAY THAT YOU COULDN'T THINK OF BETTER...... TO BE REDORED!
(SALVATORE 2016)
"DAVIDE WAS AN EXCELLENT SKIPPER. PREPARED AND DECISION WHEN NEEDED, WITH GREAT SYMPATHY AND LIGHTNESS (THE GOOD ONE) IN CONVIVIAL MOMENTS. HE IS A SURPRISING PERSON. THE PASSION HE PUT INTO WHAT HE DOES CAN BE SEEN AND IS NOT THERE WAY TO GET BORED OR NOT APPRECIATE HIS COMPANY. HE IS AN EXCELLENT COOK AND PAMPERS HIS GUESTS EXCELLENTLY. HE KNOWS THE AREA WELL AND HIS LOVE FOR THESE PLACES IS CONTAGIOUS... SO BEWARE! I AM ALREADY THINKING ABOUT GOING BACK TO HIS BOAT NEXT YEAR!!"
(LAVINIA 2015)
"DAVIDE IS A SENSITIVE AND PREPARED PERSON. THESE 2 ELEMENTS ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR EVERY SKIPPER WHO RESPONDS REACTIVELY TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE PEOPLE HE HOSTS, AS WELL AS THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE WIND AND THE SEA. ELASTICITY AND FIRMNESS DOSED WELL. MEMORABLE WEEK."
