About me

A life lived intensely, dedicated to the education of five children and work. Graduated in electronic engineering, I have worked with some of the largest international companies. Born at the foot of the mountains, I first practiced skiing at a competitive level and in 1990 I acquired the sailing and motor boat license, without territorial limits. I practiced with the best instructors and sailed all over the Mediterranean, often solo. I am the author of the Nautical Maps of the Mediterranean used by the Nauticando website for charting exercises. Transmitting the love for the sea, for the wind and for sailing, to discover a new way of living the holiday, alternating worldliness and wild nature, enchanting landscapes and nights of music and stars. This is what I will always try to give.

My experience

The passion for sailing was born in the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, Brindisi, where I attended the first dinghy course of the Centro Nautico di Levante in the summer of 1989. I obtained my boat license from the Naval League of Turin in 1990. Angelo Preden, the first Italian to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean alone, was for me a teacher of life and navigation. The children and their many friends have often been my crew. All this now I want to make available to those who have the pleasure of trying the extraordinary experience of sailing, in total relaxation and safety.

Aeolian Islands - A week on a sailing boat with skipper and assistant

Our week aboard the [hidden] was an unforgettable experience among the beauties of the Aeolian Islands. Luigi, an experienced skipper and talented engineer, guided us with safety and flexibility, ensuring suggestive stops and safe anchorages at all times. The boat, a vintage-style 13-meter boat with fine wood finishes, is comfortable and well organized: optimized spaces, four versatile cabins and a welcoming dinette allow you to live life on board with the right balance between sportiness and comfort. An added value is represented by Enrico, Luigi's son and architect of naval interiors: in addition to being a skilled navigator, he has proved to be an authentic "director of on-board hotel services", capable of combining logistics, hospitality and cuisine of the highest level. Breakfasts, lunches and aperitifs prepared with the freshest local raw materials – often fish of the day – made every convivial moment special. The familiar and informal atmosphere was the common thread of the cruise, although disembarkations can sometimes be uncomfortable due to the small rowing tender, as the engine supplied is inadequate for shallow waters. The absence of adequate safety accessories (lights, dedicated life jackets) generated significant critical issues in the evening, in a context of autonomous management of the tender by us guests and with not completely calm seas. Despite this not small problem, the rule of always dining on land and independently (necessary to guarantee the team a well-deserved break) has always proved to be a winning choice, allowing you to fully appreciate the picturesque seaside villages and above all the tasty Aeolian cuisine. In summary, despite some small technical limitations, the cruise with Luigi and Enrico remains a unique experience that combines sailing, nature, gastronomy and authentic hospitality. An adventure that we recommend to those who love the sea, the wind and the authentic charm of sailing.

Living and sleeping in a group on a boat is not always easy but what an adventure! It's the only way to have access to all these exceptional places! Thanks again to Luigi and Enrico for all their efforts and their completely personalized approach. Good luck for the rest Enrico!

A dream week, quite simply! Life on a boat requires you to respect certain rules and let yourself be carried away. But what beauty! What a privilege to approach the coves from the sea! And then we couldn't have dreamed of more caring, passionate, delicate and funny skippers. Thank you to Luigi and Enrico for sharing their paradise with us!

Great week with Luigi and Enrico! Beautiful islands: away from the world, with great swimming in coves, beautiful hikes, delicious Sicilian food and a great atmosphere on board. Our 7 and 11 year old children loved it!
