About me

Da ragazzo, guardando il mare aperto, vedevo le vele bianche, lontane: mi affascinavano, mi davano la sensazione di libertà di un gabbiano Sognavo di essere lì, ma come tutti i sogni pensavo fosse irrealizzabile. Invece dopo pochi anni, ecco la mia prima barchetta: 4 metri!!!! MI sembrò di aver superato un limite, potevo solcare il mare spinto soltanto dalla forza del vento. Fu la nascita di una passione che non mi ha più abbandonato. In seguito comprai un piccolo cabinato da crociera, provai di nuovo la sensazione di aver superato un limite. Scorrazzai per un paio di anni lungo le coste della Toscana e della Liguria. Ma io volevo "volare" di più, attraversare il mare Riuscii così a comprare una splendida barca progettata da Sparkman&Stephens, nata bella, veloce, sicura. E' ancora mia, ho navigato in lungo e in largo, soprattutto in Corsica e Sardegna. Non ho ancora navigato tutti i mari del mondo, ma è bello sapere di poterlo fare, avere la possibilità di “volare” sempre più lontano

My experience

Sono appassionato di vela da sempre. Ho iniziato con le “derive”, prima un Flying Junior, poi un 470, in seguito con i cabinati da crociera. Ho navigato in lungo e in largo nel Mediterraneo, ma soprattutto in Arcipelago Toscano, Liguria, Corsica e Sardegna di cui conosco dettagliatamente ogni tratto di costa. Ho anche partecipato come timoniere e skipper ad un'infinità di regate con piazzamenti importanti, sia con la mia che con altre barche. Da quasi 20 anni sono istruttore di vela della UISP di cui sono anche formatore, nel 2016 ho conseguito il brevetto di istruttore di 1° livello Altura della Federazione Italiana Vela. Trascorro in barca quasi 180 giorni l'anno, una parte considerevole della mia vita.

Sailing from Livorno between Capraia and northern Corsica. Beautiful experience. Great company. Mauro is a very prepared and passionate skipper who gives you a lot of tranquility and safety at sea. Very nice beaches and roadsteads. Recommended :)! The boat would need a little more maintenance and care.

Sailing in the Cetacean Sanctuary. Capraia and Northern Corsica

Excellent travel experience (Livorno, Capraia, Corsica) in every sense, Mauro is more than a skipper: a master, he introduced us to sailing by giving us responsibility in the tasks to be carried out and awareness of what sailing is. Highly experienced, he was able to predict the risk of an imminent storm well in advance, changing course, putting all the crew and the boat in safety conditions without sacrificing the days at sea. Excellent person, engaging and helpful, you can have nice chats and always makes you feel at ease.

Nice experience with the skipper Mauro who allowed us to make the most of the holiday by satisfying our requests for a visit between sea and land, managing the various stages as a sailor navigated depending on the variable weather situation. I learned a lot about driving the boat, mooring at anchor and reading the weather forecast.

If in certain situations you may not feel comfortable in the middle of the sea, just look at Mauro's tranquility on his boat, and everything changes perspective. Skipper who transmits preparation, competence but above all passion, teachings as much as possible, technical, theoretical and practical notions! Skipper and holiday recommended!
