My experience

Nel 1983 mi sono appassionato alla vela , all'Elba ho fatto i corsi e piu tardi nel 1994 ho conseguito la patente nautica e cominciato a navigare come skipper. Le zone piu frequenti di navigazione sono state le isole dell'arcipelago toscano e la Corsica. La sardegna la sicilia e tutta la costa dalle 5 terre a brindisi , una volta sono andato in grecia come skipper a prendere una barca che doveva tornare a fiumicino. Dal 2004 vivo in barca da aprile fino a tutto ottobre , che abbia charter o meno. Ho il titolo professionale del conduttore delle navi da diporto e ho fatto corsi vari tra cui sopravvivenza e salvataggio . Titoli oramai scaduti e non rinnovati. Nel 2002 ho deciso di comprare una barca e ho lavorato con una ditta per imparare a riparare e manutenere ogni barca, dal legno all'alluminio alla vetroresina. Sono stato a lavorare in Francia sempre per manutenzioni e ho aperto una ditta propria che poi ho chiuso con l'avvento della legge Monti. Ho poi chiuso anche l'attività professionale di noleggio e adesso noleggio da privato. Partecipo quando posso a piccole regate , su imbarcazione privata, il vismara 50 ibrid . Ne ho fatte anche su dei gran soleil , ma niente di importante, solo a livello dilettantistico. Amo moltissimo navigare a vela e propongo sempre di sfruttare il piu possibile il vento, poco che sia , anche nelle manovre di ancoraggio in rada. Sono un maniaco della sicurezza e la mia barca è attrezzata con impiantistica maggiorata e anche con pompa a scoppio per l'esaurimento delle sentine (1500lt/min ). Ho partecipato a operazioni di salvataggio con le pilotine degli ormeggiatori di Portoferraio nel 1997 quando ancora non esistevano controlli sul personale a bordo. La peggiore burrasca che mi abbia colto in mare nel 2003 è stata un forza 9 di grecale da Sanremo all'Elba, un trasferimento di 26 ore senza ospiti.

I fully agree with the reviews of my fellow travelers. I would like to underline two aspects that I really appreciated: the attention to the environment (no plastic on board: fresh and purified water at our disposal and paper plates) and personal well-being (a light, fresh but nutritious cuisine). A week of regeneration of body and soul! Thanks to the group and thanks to Daniele & Mariapia!

Daniele is a fabulous skipper, a true sea dog, who combines professionalism, seriousness and sympathy; it makes you feel safe without however taking away from the excellent professional side the friendly and convivial one. Mariapia is a wonderful creature, rare and extraordinary -if not unique- example of empathy combined with tireless industriousness and dedication, with attention to every single person in every detail. Together they are the perfect square to make a week on a boat a magical and profound escape that allows you to make peace with the world, with yourself and with life, discovering that happiness and joy are also in the small things that surround us. Both take care of people without being intrusive or intrusive. Travel friends: wonderful people, each bearer of his own world, an expression of the human variety that can get along and integrate when respect and the joy of sharing go beyond personal interests: a colorful microcosm that found itself together for a week of magic. Thank you, fair winds!

Two days on a sailing boat in Elba: zero stress!

What to say... Daniele and Mariapia are simply wonderful. They were the perfect glue for a fantastic group of 9 people who, although they did not know each other before, immediately found themselves in tune. In three wonderful days we had fun, relaxed, pampered by the waves and caressed by the wind. I have always loved the sea and nature, but after this experience they feel even more mine. I really recommend everyone to experience it at least once. A big greeting to the whole group, with the hope of being able to replicate soon! With love, Dario
