About me

Esperto velista e entusiasta della navigazione a vela ho accumulato miglia su miglia in tutto il mediterraneo, attraversando varie volta l'oceano atlantico e navigando ai Caraibi, Cuba, Brasile e costa pacifica del Messico. Amo la vita a bordo e mi piace cucinare. Preparo piatti sani e gustosi, dove i sapori mediterranei incontrano i profumi speziati e piccanti dell'oriente. A bordo, con Raffaella , ci prendiamo cura dei nostri ospiti, curando con particolare attenzione la sicurezza della barca, le manovre, la cucina e le pulizie.Dal 2015, con mia moglie Raffaella, viaggio intorno al mondo sulla nostra barca. La nostra rotta ci ha portato dalla Grecia fino in Australia, con una traversata atlantica, una navigazione ai Caraibi, il passaggio del Canale di Panama, 1a traversata del Pacifico, navigazione in Polinesia Francese, Isole Cook, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Nuova Caledonia.Per chi vuole siamo a disposizione per lezioni di vela, yoga e meditazione.

My experience

Vado in barca dall'eta di 15 anni, insegno yoga e meditazione in barca dal 1998. Negli anni ho accumulato miglia su miglia in tutto il mediterraneo, attraversando l'oceano atlantico varie volte e navigando lungo tutto l'arco dei Caraibi, Cuba, Brasile e costa pacifica del Messico.A bordo ho trovato il modo i unire le 2 grandi passioni della mia vita in un insieme armonico. Nel 2015, con Raffaella, siamo partiti per il giro del mondo a bordo della nostra barca. La nostra rotta: Canarie, Capo Verde, Caraibi, Panama, Galapagos, Polinesia Francese, Cook, Tonga, Fiji, Nuova Caledonia, Australia.

Sailing and fun at the Yasawa Fiji islands

Gio and Raffa as well as being excellent sailors are also very hospitable and helpful. Gio prepared appetizing dishes with simple ingredients and Raffa even made a cake. Thanks to their knowledge of the islands, we could fully enjoy the beautiful beauty of Fiji. Crystal clear sea, colorful fish, sailing, postcard islands, floating bars from seventh celo... one of the best vacanse ever made!

Giovanni & Raffaela are 2 skippers with their hearts on their sleeves. They are organized both on a daily basis and on their boats. We must not forget that this is their home. Let's not forget that there are rules of life to be respected, especially on an 11.9m boat. The food is very, very good, the cuisine is very diverse. It's your cruise! They listen and do their best to meet your expectations while guaranteeing your safety. weather, environment etc. Don't hesitate! Sit back and enjoy the landscapes, sunsets, the snork and especially the deserted places where it's just you and the boat. To be expected.. medicines for seasickness... one or 2 nights when we had a little swell.. One word as Giovanni says all the time! FANTASTIC!!! Haha THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!!

Not just fun in Ibiza and Formentera

Very professional and helpful skipper. Great cook and boat very well maintained. The only flaw, the little information on how to behave in some situations. For example, to get to the place of embarkation or on the timing for disembarkation at the port. In general, it created a good environment.
