Overall rating
Valter was professional and showed nicest places in aeolian; jacht and esspecial glases, spoons etc. was a little shabby.
Welcoming boat even if a bit dated. In these very hot days we suffered the lack of air conditioning but I think it is a structural issue on boats. Valter accompanied us and guided us, good cicerone of the Aeolian Islands, sometimes he scolded the boys more than necessary.
It was a great experience that we had with Valter in the Aeolian Islands. It’s a real sea dog! A very experienced skipper who knew how to surprise us with magnificent places. On the other hand, do not hesitate to ask for a detailed brief in advance (bedding, diesel, shipping costs, etc.), For an authentic experience, don’t hesitate!! Superb playlist Valter!
Taking into account that it will get hotter and hotter, air conditioning on board would be very useful. Valter is already working on it and at that point the comfort will be top!
