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...

We had an unforgettable holiday sailing around Formentera! The boat was the perfect way to experience the island — crystal-clear waters, breathtaking views, and the freedom to discover beautiful beaches. The company was wonderful, and every moment felt both relaxing and fun. A special mention goes to Filippo, our captain, and Max, who made the entire trip exceptional. They were professional, warm, and attentive. On top of that, the food was absolutely amazing — fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, making every meal a highlight of the day. This was truly a fantastic holiday, and we cannot recommend it enough for anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in Formentera.

Filippo is not only a knowledgeable, super attentive and caring captain, but also a remarkable gourmet cook and a very nice and interesting person: patient, fun, and flexible. He was perfectly supported by Max, whom we greatly appreciated for being always available as well as for his kindness, discretion and sense of humour. If you are looking for an authentic sailing holiday to enjoy Formentera's beautiful sea and breathtaking sunsets in a genuinely friendly and relaxed context, this is definitely for you and highly recommended! The overall description and the FAQs available on the website are worth reading as they provide a clear and exhaustive description of what you can expect. We were very lucky both with the weather and the group and spent a memorable week onboard Filippo's boat. Special mention to lovely Nao! Thanks a million Filippo, we will definitely go back!

Filippo is a prepared, scrupulous, engaging and helpful skipper. His boat is large and equipped with many useful comforts during navigation, to let the crew relax and fully enjoy the experience. The itinerary is respected, always giving priority to emergency situations that may occur, such as bad weather; In this case there is no shortage of alternatives and if you are lucky enough to find a close-knit crew like ours, there will be no shortage of opportunities for fun. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, cocktails and aperitifs are of a high level: Filippo is organized and makes the trip an experience also from a gastronomic point of view. The sea is beautiful and the beaches, which can be reached by tender or with a sup, have magnificent colors. As soon as the wind permits, you can sail, with the possibility of being an active member in the operations. Last, but not least, Nao's presence cheers everyone up. If you have any doubts, get them out of your head and don't hesitate to book!
