First experience on a sailing boat: a nice adventure with some ideas for improvement Since this is my first time on a sailing boat, the final balance is certainly positive. It was an enriching experience and the group turned out to be very pleasant, although there are some aspects that could make the trip even more comfortable and inclusive for the participants. Value of experience and galley management: The overall cost was a bit high compared to the services included. ( at the time of booking it must be specified that in addition to the initial expense there are other expenses, this has not been specified. For example.. fuel, water supply galley starter pack..... this is specified only once you have booked) Being at the first experience, we would have liked to have had extra support from the skipper or in any case from the organizational group at the time of the initial expense: a little advice to optimize the galley and avoid the superfluous (perhaps buying the rest gradually in the ports) would have been really useful. ( example once the excel has been filled in, the organizers with more experience than us can remove what seems extra to them ... instead of "scolding" each other because we did our own thing. Involvement in maneuvers: It is good to warn and know that it is an active holiday: even without any previous experience, you get involved and there is an absolute need to help the skipper during maneuvers and navigation, which makes you feel part of the crew but you need to be educated just in case. Group and fleet dynamics: Over half of the group already knew each other, and for those who struggle a little more to integrate or leave alone, this can create a small initial obstacle. To facilitate friendships, it would be great if the organization included more moments of sharing between the three boats, perhaps supporting them during the afternoon stops and not just the two evenings of sharing to really make the experience live as one big group. A trip that leaves a good memory and that I would do again, with the hope that these suggestions can help the organization to make the experience even more welcoming for future participants.

Nice experience! Edgar the taciturn but competent skipper and aligned with our needs to spend the nights at anchor and on navigation preferably sailing, even going as far as the Cyclades. Boat not recent but overall in order (I personally fixed some small details but only because I like to do it :) The only drawback was unexpectedly missing the tender engine but we rowed when there was an opportunity to use it (;'. I can't say anything about the company because my partner and I were the only guests this week. thanks soon

Overall nice experience, but mainly due to the people who participated and the beauty of the places visited. From a human point of view, my skipper and co-skipper are two wonderful and super pleasant people. The organization should be reviewed on some things and there is certainly room for improvement: - in 7 days practically no boat has almost never sailed (I can understand that the wind cannot be controlled, but even when there is sufficient minimum it has not even opened the sails a little just enough to let the crew enjoy the experience, but the impression of many was that there was no desire to unfurl the sails because it was more convenient to travel by motor); - lack of clarity on the program to follow (very often improvised); - confusion about the galley (practically all the boats received an expense that did not fully correspond to the agreed list. If it had been the crew's task to verify, we were not told, perhaps we could have at least pointed out to pay attention since many were at their first experience); - insufficient moments of celebration and socialization (few times we packed with the boats, most of the time they were all "mismatched" and even when the music was played, maybe just 2 evenings, it was turned off quite early. Many of us did not feel the typical spirit of the flotilla); - selection of the crew (some elements proved to be disturbing even before the start, already when booking the holiday, and it was the common idea of many crew members that these elements should not have had the opportunity to participate); - little involvement from the skippers and co-skippers (there was no initial presentation of the various components and between the various crews, which normally happens in other holidays of the same type, but even throughout the holiday it was noticed that they were doing a lot of their business; - inadequate explanation of the main safety rules (we have been extensively explained how to use the toilet, how to arrange personal and galley things, but not what to do or not to do on the boat for our safety and that of others).

I thank Alessandro and Carlo for the wonderful holiday, as well as my travel companions with whom I had a very good time. Wonderful coves and very characteristic villages. Too bad there was no wind to be able to sail more. The boat is spotless and equipped with sup and tender always available.
