Absolutely not, Riccardo is an excellent cook who takes care of preparing tasty fresh dishes based on fish, fish couscous, pasta, vegetables, salads etc. He has a predefined weekly menu and on Monday morning he will take care of the galley together with those who want to help him. IF YOU HAVE INTOLERANCES, ALLERGIES OR FOOD NOTES PLEASE WRITE IT DOWN. 

Yes, on the evening of embarkation, please collect the common cash that will be used for the following morning's shopping.

The expenses of EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT must be paid in cash at the end of the holiday.

It is recommended to bring comfortable clothing, a waxed jacket, rubber shoes with possibly light soles, a sleeping bag, sheet bag or sheets depending on the season, pillowcases and towels or bathrobes. Strictly soft suitcases or backpacks, (it is very difficult on a boat to cram a rigid trolley), protective creams, sunglasses and a hat. Masks, fins and recreational paraphernalia are welcome.

The port of Punta Ala must be reached either by car or by bus.

By car: you can enter to unload your luggage (ask the barrier to enter to unload) and then take the car out to the free parking lots near the roundabout above the port or for a fee always nearby.

By bus: check the routes departing from the Follonica railway station as there are not many.

The common fund to cover the expenses of a weekend on a sailing boat varies according to the needs of the crew in terms of food and drinks. Fuel is cheap. The skipper is your guest therefore to be considered as an extra mouth that eats, even if you are pleased to invite him out to dinner with you.

The combination of cabins is arranged whenever possible during the booking process in order to satisfy everyone's needs. However, we ask guests to be prepared to share cabin with strangers.

No, you can also arrive on the morning of early departure if you prefer. Those who stay overnight on the boat will share the costs of the port together with the other participants who have stayed overnight on board, otherwise not.

IS IT THE RIGHT HOLIDAY FOR YOU IF......

If you are an empathetic, cheerful, fun person, looking for new experiences and new friendships, this is the holiday for you. If you like to learn and get involved, this is the right holiday for you. If you are willing to share the cabin, bathroom and spaces with other people it is the right holiday for you. If you are ready to manage an unexpected weather event and trust the skipper's decisions, this is the right holiday for you. If you are open to a holiday full of strong emotions and adventures, this is the right holiday for you. If you are ready to collaborate and help, it's the holiday for you... the skipper Riccardo does everything himself, but he is not the housekeeper and he is very happy if you help him to set and clear and keep the boat in order .... Remember..."We're all in the same boat!!:)"

IT'S NOT THE RIGHT HOLIDAY FOR YOU IF...

If you want to go out for dinner every night, if you want to enter the port every night, if you want to eat out for lunch or with total comfort at all times, if you absolutely need your space, your privacy and your habits.

If you don't feel like you're being taken care of... It's the right holiday for you and I'm waiting for you on board to have fun together!!!
