About me

Classe 1972, eredito dalla mia famiglia la passione per il mare e per la vela. vivendo la prima parte della mia vita alle pendici del Monte Rosa, appassionato ed istruttore d'alpinismo, Operatore Soccorso Alpino e speleologico, Speleosub, Pilota Parapendio, Maestro di Kayak e Guida Fluviale, Istruttore nazionale Kanionyng. nel 2010 la grande svolta, lasciando le amate montagne per dedicarsi interamente alla vita in barca, in Grecia dove per 6 mesi l'anno girovaga tra le isole organizzando charter e corsi a bordo uno splendido Ketch armato cutter del 1974 completamente restaurato. Dal 2017 naviga in Oceano Atlantico ed in Mediterraneo spesso in solitario.

My experience

La passione della vela nasce in tenera età, quando a 12 anni i miei genitori mi regalarono un Wind surf. Essendo cresciuto ai piedi del Monte Rosa, appassionato sciatore e scialpinista, ho dedicato buona poarte della mia vità alle attività alpine, istruttore militare d'alpinismo a naja, a 20 anni divenni istruttore d'alpinismo CAI, canoista d'alto corso, divenni Guida Fluviale nel 1997, Istruttore della Scuola Nazionale Canyoning nel 2003, ho lavorato per 15 anni come guida fluviale (Rafting ed Hydrospeed) ed istruttore di Kayak presso le scuole della Valsesia. Direttore della sottosezione Canyoning del gruppo speleologico del CAI Varallo Seseia. Nel 2008 entro a far parte del Corpo Nazionale Soccorso Alpino e Speleologico implementando la mia formazione anche in ambito sanitario. Nel 2005 la svolta. stanco di affittare barche a vela per le vacanze, per poi passare il tempo a ripararle, decisi di acquistarne una... Da oltre quattord anni mi dedico alla mia barca ed ai charter a vela...

IBIZA and FORMENTERA - ALL INCLUSIVE - on 18m ketch with skipper and skipper and travel insurance

*Return to the helm* A parenthesis of the long-awaited – and missed – summer holidays, in a late October... where everything was perfectly aligned: ☀️ sun, 💨 wind up to 30 knots, unfurled sails and breathtaking destinations, among the most varied shades of sunrises and sunsets. The skipper? What can I say... An excellence in terms of safety, handling and upwind and crosswind. Even at night: impeccable navigation, always under full sail! I left alone, with the courage and the awareness that it would be an experience to be savored to the fullest. To be discovered and then left a trace. And so it was! Mouth-watering lunches and dinners, a wonderful and intense boat holiday, lived following and supporting the wave motion. I was amazed at the sight of dolphins with Es Vedrà in the background... a boat all for me and for my unexpected furry friend, **Nao**, the skipper's affectionate dog: a sweet and ever-present companion, a real **unexpected pet therapy** that made every moment even more special. And then, **back at the helm**... feel the force of the wind in your hands, the thrill of the route, the freedom that only the sea can give! Thank you, Filippo, and thanks also to Nao — it's been a long time since I sailed with the genuine enthusiasm of feeling the wind flow between jib and mainsail...

A week of relaxation, laughter, new friendships, baths, good food, karaoke, and slow life marked by the movements of the sea. Filippo is an expert, sunny captain, attentive to every need, super cook and master of the grill! His dog Nao is an adorable companion for travel and adventures in sup and cycling. The natural beauty of Ibiza and Formentera in October offers breathtaking views between rocky cliffs and blue sea, white sandy beaches and crystal clear water, perfect weather for exploring Formentera by bike and visiting its lighthouses overlooking the sea and well-kept villages. [hidden] comfortable, solid and spacious boat has given us beautiful sailing crossings.
