About me

Ho sempre amato il mare la vela e la pesca, prima sono stato un appassionato pescatore da apnea, ho passato molti mesi a Lampedusa negli anni 80/90 dedicandomi a questa passione, poi nell’82 mi sono avvicinato alla vela e ho completato quello che definirei un percorso naturale e obbligatorio per chi ama il mare, poi sono stato lontano dalla mia passione per il mare per circa 20 anni, ho lavorato come direttore commerciale per importanti aziende consumer fino a quando nel 2000 ho rimesso piede su una barca a vela, da li la decisione di mollare tutto e dedicarmi alla vela e al mare

What I like to do

Cooking

Steering the boat

Trolling

Underwater fishing

Snorkeling

Exploring the surroundings

Reading

Sunbathing

Partying!

My experience

Ho la patente dal 1982 e la mia prima barca è stata uno sloop in legno del 1926 da me ristrutturata e tenuta fino al 1994 con la quale ho girato il mediterraneo. Dal 2004 al 2010 ho partecipato come skipper a varie edizioni della Roma per tutti, regata di altura di circa 500 mg. Nel 2006 ho comprato un Salona 37, che ho portato dalla Slovenia a Roma e con il quale ho vinto il campionato invernale di Roma nel 2011 in classe crociera veloce, e partecipando anche a diverse regate di altura , nel 2014 ho sostituito il 37 con un Salona 45 presa a Monfalcone e portata da me a Roma e nell 2017 con cui abbiamo vinto in classe regata il trofeo città di Fiumicino, regata andata e ritorno da Fiumicino a Giannutri, è stato fatto anche un bell’articolo sulla Gazzetta dello Sport. Con la barca lavoro da aprile a settembre sulle Pontine, le Flegree, le Eolie, l'arcipelago Toscano e la Sardegna. l'inverno organizzo il campionato invernale di Roma e lavoro come istruttore per una scuola vela. Dal 2016 sono esperto velico per la LNI, poi ad oggi istruttore di base professionista vela.

Sailing among the Pontines

08/6/2023

Francesco F.

Luigi is an excellent skipper with extensive experience in sailing and sailing, as well as knowing the Pontine Islands perfectly, always choosing the most suitable place to stop based on sea and weather conditions and safely. It also gave us the opportunity to deepen our knowledge and ability to steer the boat leaving us plenty of space and making us make beautiful sails. The boat is very comfortable, clean and well maintained. Unfortunately due to the weather our holiday lasted about 2 days less than expected, we could not reach Ventotene and we only made a touch in Palmarola. We must also consider that the crossing from Ostia to the Pontine (and vice versa) is quite demanding (about 9 hours), especially if the sea conditions are not optimal. Perhaps it sins a bit in communication, sometimes taking some things for granted, especially at an organizational level or for those who have no experience on the boat.

Recommended experience!! Unforgettable holiday!! Luigi great captain, skipper and sailing instructor, managed all situations safely, despite the wave and strong wind. He transmits the passion for the sea and the world of sailing, available in all explanations, knows the islands and its secrets. Excellent cook engages you with his wonderful tales. The boat is lived,cozy and clean. The trip was wonderful also for the presence of the second skipper super Giangio. The exceptional adventure companions, many emotions experienced together... Thank you all!! See you soon!!

I can only speak well of the skipper and his deputy Giandrea, friendly and helpful people but above all lovers of the sea. Luigi continuously dispenses sailing lessons and transmits calm even when the weather is not the best! Finally I can say that I did a full immersion of sailing, we really used the engine only when essential, moreover Luigi knows the area well and gave us many tips. I will definitely repeat the experience with them, everything was made unforgettable by a wonderful crew. Alexander
