About me

Chi è Riccardo? Un giornalista che ha il mare nel suo dna, che ama viaggiare e che ha viaggiato molto con la sua barca a vela nel Mediterraneo e con altre in oceano. Ha molti interessi e le sue proposte di vacanza sono originali: un viaggio a vela suddiviso in settimane per scoprire quasi ogni giorno una baia, un'isola, una località diverse. Perché il mare è grande e non lo si conosce mai fino in fondo, ma vale la pena provarci. Ogni settimana di vacanza è diversa e per questo il porto di imbarco raramente coincide con quello di arrivo. La parola d'ordine sulla sua barca è: partecipazione. E lo scopo della partecipazione è quello di vivere davvero e appieno l'esperienza della vela, della navigazione e della scoperta di rotte e posti nuovi. Perciò sulla sua barca si partecipa alle manovre di vela, agli ormeggi, alla cucina, a tutta la vita di bordo secondo le proprie capacità, attitudini, preferenze. Si nuota, si fa snorkelling, si prende il sole, si visitano villaggi e ci si diverte.

My experience

Ex giornalista, navigo da molto tempo passando ogni anno alcuni mesi in barca, Nato sul mare, senza vedere le onde ed i riflessi sull'acqua non potrei vivere. Una passione che cerco di trasmettere a chi naviga con me. Dopo un periodo di "gavetta", dal 1999 sono armatore di un cabinato . In questi anni ho navigato in: Grecia (isole Ioniche, Peloponneso, Atene, isole del golfo di Saronico, Cicladi, Dodecaneso), Uruguay, Brasile, Argentina, Tunisia, Albania, Croazia (più volte), Montenegro, Slovenia, Corsica e Sardegna (tutto il giro più volte comprese le Bocche di Bonifacio), Sicilia (giro completo, Eolie, Egadi e Ustica più volte). Della costa tirrenica conosco: Giglio, Elba, Capraia. Isole Pontine, golfo di Napoli, Liguria. Francia: Calanques, Costa Azzurra, Porquerolles, Port Cros, Île du Levant, Ile de Lerins. Ho sempre navigato con la formula del "viaggio a vela" che consente di esplorare ogni giorno una baia, una località, un'isola diversi conoscendo luoghi, mari e persone nuove.

Preveza, Antipaxos, Paxos and Corfu: between extraordinary landscapes and sea

Riccardo and "[hidden]" are a lord and a lady of the seas. Many years of experience and many miles have created a symbiosis. Boat well equipped with a complete set of sails and, when there are competent guests, available to use them. 3 cabins and two bathrooms, are more than enough, the comfort of modern boats is not to be pargoned but here you sail and explore every bay, and that type of cockpit is more than comfortable. Nice companions and open to new friendships. Coskipper of the highest level!! Marinella ..... and we are all covered and aligned. Greece never disappoints even in mid-August.

Sailing from the magnificent Peloponnese to beautiful Zakynthos and Kefalonia

More than a sailing holiday we experienced a week (minus one day as we got off earlier) of continuous transfers, from 6 to 14 hours a day, sailing only the first two days, then due to jib problems only with the engine. Riccardo has to approach Catania for the winter storage of the boat and by selling the seats he has decided to earn money and get paid for the expenses. Old and uncomfortable boat (cockpit without cushions and also without supports for cell phones or glasses). Skipper's photo needs to be updated. Avoid.

Riccardo is a good person but the boat was not prepared to welcome guests, particularly in terms of cleanliness and order. Some episodes, which by an expert person should and could have been predicted and dealt with calmly, generated unnecessary anxiety (lack of fuel in the tender, staysail rigged at the last minute in critical circumstances, disorderly mooring and unmooring maneuvers, instructions to the crew not given sufficiently in advance and clarity, etc.). A general perception of approximation has generated a feeling of insecurity and discomfort which has unfortunately negatively affected the serenity and enjoyment of the holiday.
