This experience, in a nutshell

A weekend on a sailing boat between Ponza and Palmarola promises an unforgettable experience among crystal clear waters, enchanting coves and breathtaking views.

Our base will be the picturesque port of Neptune, easily accessible by car or train.

In Ponza, the largest island, we can stop in the famous Cala del French, surrounded by high cliffs; Chiaia di Luna, one of the most iconic beaches; Cala Inferno, small and exclusive because it can only be reached by sea.

In Palmarola, we can stop at Cala Brigantina, one of the most picturesque coves; Punta Mezzogiorno with transparent waters, ideal for snorkeling; Grotta dei Briganti, a cave known for its rock formations and crystal clear sea.


During the weekend we will be able to enjoy the pleasure of sailing, taking advantage of the sea breezes and the freedom to explore some of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.

Be sure to bring snorkeling gear and plenty of adventure!

Photonics Experience!! Postcard coves, sea of unexpected beauty and fascinating islands. Captain Enrico is in love with these places and transmits it to all his guests, always making himself available, with courtesy and professionalism. The [hidden] boat was an unexpected surprise in terms of size, comfort, stability and cleanliness but above all: it is beautiful!!! Until next time!

A long weekend of sea and freedom from Argentario to Elba

For the long weekend of May 1, 2025 we were on board [hidden] for a 4-day mini-cruise. The boat is very beautiful, elegant but extremely functional and well-kept, comfortable and with many amenities. The reserved bathrooms in the individual cabins were an important detail for us, as were the large spaces inside. The atmosphere was immediately welcoming and nice thanks to Enrico who proved to be an extraordinary skipper throughout the holiday both for his technical skills and as a person. Tonia, Enrico's partner, completed the wonderful atmosphere breathed on the boat with her sympathy, empathy and welcome. The group therefore blended in a very special way. Favorable weather allowed us to carry out the planned program: Argentario, Giglio Island and Elba Island. Enrico, with his experience, organized the routes safely, considering winds and currents. He was very good at involving us in all phases of navigation, depending on individual levels of knowledge and interest. My wife and I highly recommend an experience with Enrico and Tonia, who with all their stories have left us with a great desire to return to [hidden] and visit many other places.

For the long weekend of May 1, 25, Paola and I were on Enrico's boat for a 4-day mini cruise between Argentario, Elba Island and Giglio Island. It was a very pleasant and fun experience. Enrico is a true sailor with great experience and professionalism, and has always been courteous and helpful. Obviously able to steer the boat in total autonomy, it still involved us in some more basic operations, suitable for us who don't even know how to tie a simple knot! Thanks to the wind that was not lacking we were able to sail a lot. The best way to enjoy the sea, peace and nature. Another note of merit goes to the boat ([hidden]), one of the most comfortable sailboats we have been on so far, with plenty of space everywhere both inside and outside. Very large and comfortable cockpit. Very spacious and equally comfortable dinette. Reserved bathrooms in the individual cabins with electric toilet, a real rarity on a sailing boat. Tonia, Enrico's partner, was an equally pleasant gift: sympathy, courtesy and hospitality at the highest level. An exceptional travel companion. Their welcome and warmth made us feel at home from the first moment. What can I say.. The perfect recipe for an experience of pure relaxation, sea, wind and nature. Anyone who loves the sea should try sailing at least once, and we would like to recommend Enrico and Tonia without any doubt. We hope to see each other again soon to see [hidden], Enrico and Tonia again in some other corner of the sea (Ponza, here we come!).

I spent a fantastic weekend sailing in Ponza and Palmarola with Enrico and Tonia, and it was an unforgettable experience. Enrico is an exceptional skipper, always attentive and competent, who explained various stories and anecdotes about the Pontine Islands during the navigation and chose enchanting coves both in Ponza and Palmarola to stop for a swim. Tonia, his partner, was just as extraordinary: her sympathy and warmth made the experience (first sailing holiday for me) even more enjoyable. In addition, the boat was really beautiful, impeccably maintained and comfortable, making the experience even more enjoyable. The welcome and professionalism of Enrico and Tonia are truly unbeatable. They were incredibly helpful in arranging every detail of the holiday, responding promptly to all my questions and requests. Thanks to them, I experienced moments of relaxation and pure fun that I will hardly forget. Can't wait to come back for another adventure! Naomi
