About me

The sea and sailing are not simply a passion: they have always been my way of feeling free. Sailing has allowed me to turn a dream into reality and today, aboard my 40-foot Grand Soleil B&C, I can finally share everything that the sea can offer: the wind that pushes the sails, the silence away from the coast, the nature that changes color with each route and the thrill of arriving in places that can only be reached by sea. Sailing cruising is a unique travel experience, unlike any other holiday. It is freedom, slowness, authentic contact with the sea and with those who live it with you. On board you sail, learn, participate, but above all you experience the sea in a real way. Sharing this experience with new people is the part I love the most: sailing becomes an adventure made of laughter, good music, good food and a good glass of wine at sunset, when the boat is finally at anchor and time seems to stand still.

My experience

Sailing is for me a continuous school of technique, seafaring culture and personal growth. Every trip to sea is an opportunity to learn something new, refine skills and enrich yourself with experiences that only navigation can offer. Driven by the desire to deepen this world more and more, I attended numerous sailing and safety courses at sea, until I played – again out of passion – the role of sailing instructor for cabin cruisers. The real experience, however, I have built over time, sailing on many boats, traveling thousands of miles in different seas, both with experienced skippers and with first-time crews. I have sailed for a long time in Italy, especially in the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, but also abroad: along the French Riviera and in Corsica, in Ireland, where I faced ocean waves, strong currents and great tides, and in Greece, where for several years I organized cruises and courses also in flotilla, experiencing what I consider one of the most fascinating areas of the Mediterranean. Today I put this experience at the service of those who want to experience the sea in an authentic way, safely and with the right spirit: that of those who sail for passion, with respect for the sea and the desire to share the journey.

Sailing Cruise - Island-Hopping in the Tuscan Archipelago

Andrea is a really professional skipper, but this is just a small detail. A man of disarming availability, ready to share the boat, so special, happy to show us the hidden corners he discovered over time, happy to let us enter, even if alas only for those few days, in a world made of the silent sound of the wind, of carefree chatter, of toasts and laughter. Thank you for everything Commander. Good wind always !

What an amazing experience. Andrea is a fantastic skipper, very knowledgable, patient and a great teacher. We had two kids on board and Andrea spent time teaching them how to sail and involving them at the right time. They loved it! Andrea has a passion for sailing and it reflects in upkeep of the boat which was just right, spacious and beautiful. We got to sail most of the time from calm winds to finger biting 20+Knots (that's when we had most fun). Andrea took us to all the amazing spots around the Tuscan Archipelago and the planning and communication was impeccable. Food, wine, local restaurants and beaches.. we will go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for the amazing company, stories, chess and experience. Till next time! Ciao!

Fantastic experience. Andrea, in addition to being an excellent skipper, is an exquisite person and great company. We bombarded him with questions about sailing and he was always very helpful in providing us with the notions. The itinerary initially planned was strongly limited by the poor wind and sea conditions as well as thunderstorms on the last day. Anyway, it was an unforgettable holiday that we will carry forever in our hearts. Greetings to Andrea. Definitely see you soon. Fabio, Roby, Erik and Giada.

We loved our first experience on a sail boat. Andrea put the necessary ingredients for it despite a rather heterogenous crew. 1. the boat is beautiful, lovingly kept super clean and super safe. 2. Sailing is obviously a passion that he transmits according to each person and situation: by adapting his instruction to the various moods, languages, ages, communication styles, previous experiences or clumsiness level.... We could really experience the power of the boat despite low winds. 3. Despite our diverse aspirations, Andrea could address everyones needs, so that we were all happy in the end. 4. We enjoyed good food, good drinks and good swims, because he knows where to go. THANK YOU
