Top holiday!! My girlfriend and I had a really nice and relaxing week. Paolo, our captain is a nice and prepared person, a travel companion that everyone would like by their side and the boat has all the accessories to travel in comfort. We recommend this type of experience to everyone!! A hug to the skipper from Livorno/Pisa

Negative experience, the weather conditions forced us to return to the port in Piombino for 3 nights. The heavy rain created inconvenience for us because the water entered the cabins, wetting the mattresses. We have some doubts about the behavior of Captain Paolo starting from the lack of assistance in making galleys to retracing the same stretch of coast of the island of Elba 2 times and spending 3 nights at anchor in Porto Azzurro. On the last day we sailed only for a stretch returning to Piombino. More than a sailing holiday, it was motorized. We hope to be luckier in the future.

Beautiful places, experienced skipper, clean and fairly equipped boat, too bad that the navigation was done almost exclusively by motor, although there were conditions for sailing. I love sailing and in many years of cruising, with both experienced and non-experienced crews, it is the first time that I have not been able to fully enjoy the holiday. Too bad!

Beautiful holiday, even if only a week we took a lot off. Life on a boat is different, you have to adapt a little, a little camping style but I love it. Paolo is a very competent skipper, at first glance a bit gruff, but he is a very good person, good and super company, it is a pleasure to listen to his thousand stories and knowledge of the sea and life. I would suggest explaining a little better how to shop for the galley.
