Discover Who We Are
Antonio Citto
My passion for the sea has always accompanied me since I was a child. I was still a young boy when I started surfing with my first board, then I attended sailing schools, starting with the small boats called Lasers. In 1988, I was already a certified captain, qualified to operate vessels up to 24 meters. Today, I take care of an Oceanis Clipper 423, which I use to organize trips to rediscover the beautiful Aeolian Islands.
​
I have several Mediterranean crossings under my belt, from France to Sicily, numerous regional and provincial regattas, and several years of experience as a skipper between the Aeolian Islands.
​
I know the Aeolian Islands like the back of my hand and, most importantly, when I suggest an itinerary, I primarily focus on ensuring that guests aboard can enjoy the most relaxing and pleasant vacation possible. I look forward to welcoming you!

What people who have worked with him say: an experienced captain, feeling the wind and the sea are natural skills for him, a true sea wolf.
​
He has worked as a skipper on sailboats and catamarans for 15 years, guiding groups on Mediterranean cruises (Corsica, Sardinia, Aeolian Islands, Tuscan Islands, Greece, Balearics), as well as in the Caribbean Islands, Seychelles, and Thailand.
​
He deepened his knowledge of the Ionian Islands of Greece by commanding a 20-meter ketch for 6 months.
Captain and much more: essential and practical, able to handle any unexpected situation with calm, preparation, and clarity, making guests feel safe and relaxed in every circumstance.

My first encounter with sailing was 16 years ago; it was something I desired, and I fell in love instantly and deeply. From there, it was a gradual rise, and it quickly became an infinite love. Living on a sailboat is always an experience of peace and connection: with the water, the sky, the sun, the moon, the earth, the wind, and fellow travelers.
​
It is always a new adventure; no route can ever be the same as the previous one. You are connected to every element, which transforms into joy and love.
​
This is where the desire to become an assistant skipper/hostess came from.
Over the years, I have gained experience as a hostess, sailor on various vessels (sailboats, catamarans), worked for a charter on a 20-meter ketch, in the Ionian Islands of Greece for 6 months, handling the logistical organization of guest arrivals and departures, provisioning, meals, care of common areas, and managing guest needs. So, what can I say... I can't wait to have you aboard!

My adventure began at the age of just four when I sailed on a small sailboat on Lake Maggiore. Since then, the call of water and nature has never left me, evolving into a life and professional journey that I am excited to share with you today.
​
As a skipper, I have been sailing since 2008 in some of the most beautiful destinations in the Mediterranean, organizing cruises that combine relaxation, discovery, and a touch of adventure. Over the years, I have honed my skills as a sailing instructor, scuba diving guide, and snorkeling instructor, while also integrating my passion for yoga, which I practice and teach.
​
On board, you will learn the secrets of sailing, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Kornati Islands— a unique archipelago featuring spectacular cliffs and hidden beaches just for you. For those who love relaxation, there will also be moments of wellness, such as a sunset yoga session.
​
This journey will take place in September, the perfect time to enjoy the sea in peace, away from the crowds, and to discover authentic, uncrowded places.
