This experience, in a nutshell

A weekend of sailing, relaxation and fun!

We are waiting for you on board one of our three boats in use for the Barcolana for the cruise-regatta, setting sail from Caorle en route to the beautiful Gulf of Trieste.

An excellent opportunity to enjoy the sea by perfecting your sailing knowledge or approaching the world of offshore sailing for the first time.

Trieste will welcome us in all its splendor embellished by hundreds of boats ready to challenge each other in the most participated regatta in the world, the Barcolana.

A spectacle at sea that will leave you breathless and that you can experience sailing on the edge of the race course. We will not take part in the regatta, but we will be in a privileged position to watch this spectacle!

Excellent compromise between the pleasure of a holiday in enchanting places and the learning of the basic rudiments. A special appreciation to Lara and Gianluca for their passion and patience in teaching.

It was our first family experience and we had a great time. Gianluca made us feel immediately at ease. We had a very good time with both the crew of our [hidden] and the rest of the flotilla. Excellent explanations on the use of sails and the overall management of the boat

A regenerating, fun and rewarding experience, with super-trained skippers who put passion into what they do. Recommended with any type of nautical expertise, if you want to safely experience the sailboat for the first time or refine and improve your knowledge of the sea. The only negative aspect is the nostalgia you feel at the end of this beautiful adventure!!!
