The skipper

Embark with Rosario - Destination Aeolian Islands for a sailing cruise

What is your motto ?

Follow the wind!

How did you come to do this job?

My family has always sailed on sailboats. I've been at sea since I was 6 months old. I learned to sail before I learned to ride a bike. With my father, we sailed a good part of the Mediterranean, saw some beautiful places and lived on a sailboat for 6 weeks a year. So it was only natural that you should continue your passion for sailing. As soon as I had the chance, I bought my first sailboat and started sailing on my own, then turning it into a job.

What people say about you?

Over the years, I've accumulated a lot of feedback from my customers, most of whom appreciate my kindness and friendliness. They describe me as very friendly and fun to be around, but also very knowledgeable, and they really appreciate my knowledge of the places I show them around.

To know about you, apart from your job?

I love adventure, outdoor activities and different sports that give you an adrenaline rush.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

I remember one trip vividly, both for the experience and for the friendly people we met along the way. April 2000, sailing to Corsica, Sardinia and Elba. We hit a storm on our way to Elba. We took shelter for 3 days on Goat Island. I'll never forget this island and the people we met...

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

Seeing customers return to port, happy with the experience and ready to do it all over again. What more could you ask for?

Your style of practice?

My goal is to make sure my guests enjoy themselves, so I make sure the cruise is relaxing, safe and fun.
