Yacht charter in Milazzo · Elan — Elan 43 (1988)
Description of Michele's sailboat
Sailboat Elan Elan 43 13m
Louise is an Elan 43 from 1988 that I have been restoring for 4 years, technically almost everything is new, what the charterers do not see, engine, pumps, fridge, etc., on the deck is new synthetic teak, the paints are to be picked up again. I have 4 cabins and two bathrooms, for 8 beds, but I want a maximum of 4 people, in order to better manage the spaces. I am delighted to sail and show what I know if anyone is willing to learn. At the same time, the boat is helped by Molino Crisafulli, Trinacria Hemp and Maeko Tessuti, for those who wish there is the opportunity to taste products in food hemp, cosmetics and fabrics.

Overall rating
Mikele was great at communicating prior to booking and made our whole day a terrific experience. Extremely seasoned and courteous sailor, terrific cook and overall excellent host. Fluent in English, Italian and several other languages. Using hemp fabrics on board for eco and anti bacterial properties. If you get the chance to sail with Mikele we would HIGHLY recommend.
Alberto and I spent three unforgettable days in the Aeolian Islands thanks to Michele, an expert, attentive, and passionate skipper. His extensive experience—including ocean crossings—is immediately apparent: not only did we always feel in good hands, but we also enjoyed his stories and anecdotes about his life experiences (not just at sea). Michele is also an excellent cook! His seafood recipes are fantastic. And his hummus is special. Among the highlights of our vacation, I will definitely remember the stunning sunset at Cala Junco, in Panarea, and the night spent near the sea stacks of Vulcano: silence, gentle waves, and an ocean of stars. There's another very important point, in my opinion, to keep in mind for this type of experience (since sailing forces us to live together in limited spaces): Michele proved to be an excellent travel companion. Pleasant conversations, memories, and lots of laughter. But also his teasing when we mishandled the sails. For us, it was an authentic and profound experience, which we recommend to anyone looking for much more than a simple sailing holiday. Ciao Michele!
Michele is an excellent skipper with a wealth of experience and the right amount of caution required at sea. But above all, he's a down-to-earth person, ready to accommodate every request, and a fantastic chef; he prepared some excellent meals for us! Michele is perfect for those who, like us, want an authentic sailing experience, admire the beauty of nature, and above all, experience the adrenaline rush of unfurled sails in complete safety!
A huge thank you to Michele for this unforgettable stay. We were a family of four, including two children aged twelve and fifteen. With extensive experience, Michele is a very conscientious and professional captain. He is also an excellent cook, and he delighted our taste buds. Attentive and attentive to our well-being on board, he made sure we met our expectations. Have a good trip, captain. Quentin, Isabelle, Lou & Léa
Michele is absolutely adorable! Attentive, pleasant to talk to, and a great instructor for maneuvers. He's a great captain and an excellent guide for Sicily. I definitely recommend his company for a wonderful day at sea in the Aeolian Islands!
Michele's professionalism and experience at sea made the difference even when we were hit by rough seas. The boat, although dated, has equipment that makes it safe and performing. Recommended for everyone, even families with children
