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 with skipper and skipper

We really needed this holiday! Filippo is a wonderful host: attentive skipper (also ready to involve those who show interest in sailing), excellent cook, great entertainer and even singer. The weather was not the best, which changed the itinerary and it was a great shame, but it is the risk of every holiday, even more so in those by boat. The latter is equipped with interesting "pluses" (BBQ, fishing rods, SUP). It is comfortable, but it is "lived" practically all year round as it is basically Filippo's home and this means that it is not a 5-star hotel on the water where everything is impeccable. A thread of sporting spirit and sharing is needed, as clearly written in the announcement. Finally, I cannot fail to mention Nao, a wonderful sailing companion always ready to be cuddled and try to save you when you go down into the water. And if I loved it because I don't have any particular liking for dogs, you can trust it. Ps: you will go home with a couple of extra kilos on you, but it's worth it

This was a really good sailing trip. It was well organized, relaxed, and enjoyable. A special mention goes to Filippo, our skipper. He is not only a highly capable and experienced sailor but also a genuinely kind and welcoming person. He was always happy to listen to everyone’s ideas, adapt the itinerary when possible, and make sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. One of the biggest surprises of the trip was his cooking! Every day he prepared delicious meals and snacks that went far beyond what we expected on a sailing holiday. He is truly an amazing chef, and every meal became another highlight of the experience. We visited beautiful coves and stunning spots around Mallorca, enjoyed great sailing conditions, and shared unforgettable moments together. The atmosphere on board was always friendly, relaxed, and fun. And of course, Noa was the real star of the trip! She won everyone’s heart, and we all had so much fun playing with her throughout the week.
