About me

Massimo è un giovane skipper appassionato di vela, in particolare delle navigazioni d’altura e con un sogno: quello di effettuare il giro del mondo in solitario su un mini 6,50. Iscritto nei registri della Gente di Mare presso la Capitaneria di Porto di Bari con la qualifica di Allievo Ufficiale di Coperta ha frequentato vari corsi tra cui: GMDSS, STCW95, sopravvivenza e salvataggio, antincendio base ed avanzato, cinematica radar. Le acque scelte per le sue odierne navigazioni sono quelle che circondano le affascinanti isole greche e durante i suoi trasferimenti settimanali, si diverte, talvolta, a suo piacimento, a dare sfogo alla sua seconda arte nascosta ovvero quella della cucina della sua terra d'origine: la Puglia. Fin da bambino, quando i suoi genitori lo iscrissero alla sezione velica della Lega Navale, pratica la vela su piccole derive partecipando e vincendo alcune regate regionali ma è all’età di 16 anni, quando si iscrive al terzo anno del corso Capitani che conosce il

Dopo il conseguimento del diploma all'Istituto Tecnico Nautico con la qualifica di Aspirante Capitano di Lungo Corso, la sua attività velica prosegue anche durante il corso Allievi Ufficiali di Complemento della Marina Militare Italiana a Livorno e quando termina il servizio di leva, congedandosi col grado di Guardiamarina ogni anno si imbarcava nei mesi estivi su grandi yachts privati per offrire un rapporto di collaborazione alla pari; per diversi anni, solcando il Mediterraneo tutto e L'Atlantico un paio di volte, la sua esperienza, aveva modo di accrescere sempre più. Matura così, un po' alla volta, la scelta di trasformare la sua passione per la navigazione, per il mare e per la vela nella sua professione; e dopo aver appreso una trentennale esperienza marinara ed essendo stato, nel corso degli anni, al comando di prestigiosi yachts a vela e a motore nasce il progetto "Voglia di...".

Massimo is a great skipper. Prepared and attentive, it instills safety in the crew members in every situation and condition of navigation. A great connoisseur of the sea, he has as his strong point a deep and sincere passion for what he does. passion that inevitably transfers to the crew members making sure that the holiday goes far beyond navigation. With Massimo you can appreciate the wonders of the sailboat lulled by the waves and pushed by the wind. When it comes to eating and having fun, Massimo is able to meet everyone's needs by offering typical cuisine on board, aperitifs at sunset, dinners in typical restaurants or more mundane evenings. Thank you very much Massimo, I hope we will sail together again.

The holiday far exceeded our expectations. Massimo is an excellent skipper, always attentive to the conditions of the sea and the safety of navigation, an expert sailor and always ready to let his guests experience the sensations of sailing. The boat is in perfect condition and the skipper is always attentive to cleanliness and attention to every detail. It was wonderful to discover with Massimo the enchanting places of the Aeolian Islands, both by sea and by land, and enjoy, thanks to his advice, the food and wine secrets of the area. Massimo is a companion and tries in every way to create and maintain a convivial and relaxed atmosphere on the boat. And, as if that were not enough, he also turned out to be an excellent cook, expert in chops! :) "Doctor, where did I take you!" Fantastic!

Hemos pasado una semana fantástica con Massimo. Es un capitán con mucha experiencia, que sabe anticipar y tiene un gran conocimiento de estas islas. Nos ha hecho descubrir calas maravillosas, restaurantes, chiringuitos y la mejor granita del mundo! Además es muy buen cocinero. Es una persona interesante, con muchas pasiones y mucha curiosidad. Mantiene su barco con amor, orden y limpieza. Grazie Capitano!
