About me

Mare, vela e viaggi sono le mie passioni ed emozioni che mi accompagnano ormai da quasi 30 anni. Sono un sognatore e una persona curiosa; curiosità che mi ha spinto a viaggiare da sempre negli angoli più remoti del nostro pianeta. Ho passato anni in Centro-Sud America ed in Sud-Est Asiatico, affascinato da culture in apparenza cosi distanti ma cosi vicine al mio modo di essere. Adesso sono tornato nel più incantevole e magico luogo dei nostri mari: le isole Eolie. Amo la buona musica e la compagnia e trovo che una barca sospesa tra cielo e mare sia un "non luogo" eccezionale, un occasione unica per un incontro tra persone senza barriere ne filtri. Faccio parte della WCA (World Cetacean Alliance), un organizzazione mondiale che si occupa in maniera attiva della salvaguardia dei Cetacei, e sarò felicissimo di farvi incontrare e conoscere i sempre più numerosi delfini e balene che accompagnano le nostre veleggiate.

What I like to do

Underwater fishing

Trolling

My experience

Ho un esperienza della vela a 360°. Ho disputato diverse regate in Thailandia, Malesia, Singapore, Indonesia, Canarie, veleggiato nei Caraibi, nelle remote Isole San Blas, Panama e Colombia.. L'insegnamento della vela è l'attività che mi appassiona e gratifica di più.Trascorro normalmente l'inverno nell'Atlantico nelle stupende isole Canarie, dove lavoro per una scuola RYA. Sono inoltre socio fondatore e direttore di un’associazione no-profit sportiva con sede in Sicilia, che ha come principio fondamentale il rispetto dell’ambiente, del mare, di tutte le creature che lo abitano, e la diffusione della pratica della vela accessibile a tutti come strumento terapeutico (vela terapia). In qualità di istruttore RYA mi dedico alla formazione di skipper; e sarò molto felice di poter fornire, a chiunque lo desideri, tutto il supporto didattico e la pratica necessaria sia per il conseguimento dei titoli RYA che della patente nautica italiana,

We spent a week with Franco on [hidden] and had learning to sail in Eolie islands visiting Panarea, Salina, Stromboli and Lipari. We really had a wonderful time and great experiences. Franco the skipper was friendly, very professional and knowledgeable. Moreover, we had beautiful people joining this cruise / course. Trekking to Stromboli and watching the active vulcano so close was breathtaking and was really worth going up to the top. Franco knows so many amazing delicious restaurants, the week was a good balance of holiday and sailing. Jenny & Francesco

First sailing experience, just wonderful! Franco immediately knew how to put the crew at ease, he is an excellent teacher and, above all, he is a great skipper, who puts safety first. His knowledge of the Aeolian Islands has allowed us to discover the treasures that these islands hold, both at sea and on land. Thank you very much!!!!
