This experience, in a nutshell

We will discover the islands of Palmarola and Ponza, stopping in the most beautiful and evocative bays; We will learn a bit of sailing, but we will also swim, sunbathe, relax, sunsets, etc., making the holiday unforgettable. We will eat and sleep on board. During the crossings and while sailing we will learn to steer, adjust the sails and tie knots. We will go ashore in Ponza to appreciate this wonderful island in local life as well.


The boat, a 12-meter Beneteau with 3 cabins and bathroom, is perfectly maintained, updated, and in compliance with all safety equipment in full compliance with current legislation.


The skipper, a lover of the sea and sailing, has the pleasure of welcoming both boys and girls and adults or families with children on board.


The spirit of adaptability, the desire to have fun while learning, respect for nature and the desire to have a group experience, are the right ingredients to make this holiday unrepeatable. I look forward to seeing you !


ATTENTION: for the date of July 18, the captain on board will be my long-time partner Silvio. If you have any questions about his experience, please contact me via the message area.

Amazing weekend in the Pontine Islands

The skipper Carlo proved to be competent, attentive and always available: he guided us with safety and passion to discover a wonderful corner of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The boat was comfortable, well maintained and perfect for sailing between the islands. Ponza remains a pearl of the Mediterranean, but it is Palmarola that really leaves you breathless: wild, silent, simply magical. Highly recommended!

Amazing Pontine Islands in 4 days

Three wonderful days sailing among the Pontine islands. Silvio, an experienced skipper, was always able to guide us safely with his sweetness and, above all, with a smile. Great Silvio, I hope to float with you again! The boat is a well-rigged Beneteau 40.7 feet with a few gems for the more technical: carbon rudder (very pleasant, especially with waves), rod shrouds, "German-style" mainsheet. Comfort is not the best with just one bathroom, but for a few days it can go, especially if there is a good crew (personally I had a great time). The only real negative point was the fridge: it gave off a smell that was difficult to manage and describe. I recommend a deep cleaning before the next cruises.

Impeccably competent, extremely professional, very discreet and elegant, excellent listener. A perfect weekend at the Pontine. My 13-year-old son also said, "He didn't treat us like tourists." Thank you from me and Federico..

Amazing Pontine Islands!

Veramente una vacanza strepitosa! Lo skipper Carlo ha fatto godere al meglio le bellezze delle isole pontine. Oltre a scendere a Ventotene e Ponza, ci ha fatto sostare in tutte le più belle cale e vedere da vicino, accompagnandoci con il tender, le meravigliose grotte delle isole.
