This experience, in a nutshell

A week between sea, villages, sunsets and wine tasting (included!).


A week to live slowly.

It starts from Lavagna and sails along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean: the Gulf of Tigullio and the Cinque Terre.

We will sleep in the roadstead when the sea allows it, we will wake up with a swim before coffee, we will sail without haste and we will stop in the villages reachable from the sea, when they begin to empty of visitors.

The idea is simple: to create a small crew of people, between 25 and 45 years old, who want to share a week of sea, good food, good wine and conversations.

No sailing experience is required.

Those who wish can participate in the maneuvers, learn the basics of navigation and really experience the boat, not as a passenger but as part of the crew.


The itinerary will be adapted to the weather conditions to always sail safely, but the goal will be to explore:

  • Monterosso
  • Vernazza
  • Corniglia seen from the sea
  • Manarola
  • Riomaggiore
  • Portovenere (if conditions permit)

Every day will be different.

Some will be dedicated to sailing and long swims in bays that can only be reached by sea.

Others will end with a dinner in one of the small villages on the coast.


  • Life on board


The days start slowly.

A coffee in the cockpit, a dip as soon as you wake up, breakfast.

During the navigation there will be time to listen to music, learn something about sailing or simply enjoy the silence of the sea.

In the evening we cook together or go ashore for dinner or a drink.

It is an experience designed for those who love authentic relationships.


  • Who is it for?

This experience is designed for travelers between 25 and 45 years old.

Singles, couples or small groups of friends are welcome.

The important thing is to have a spirit of adaptation, curiosity and a desire to share life on board.


  • Why choose this week

Because the Cinque Terre seen from the sea are something else.

Because a sailboat allows you to reach places that can only be imagined from land.

Because in a week you get on board with strangers and often get off with new friends.

And because, after a few days, the rhythm changes.

You get used to the wind, the sunsets over the sea and that pleasant feeling of finally having time.

If that's what you're looking for, I'll be waiting for you on board.

In estrema sintesi: vacanza favolosa ! Giorgio è uno skipper attento e meticoloso ma soprattutto è un gran signore, una persona perbene ed elegante, di altri tempi, che mette a completa disposizione la barca, nuovissima e splendidamente tenuta, facendoti sentire libero e rilassato senza “fissazioni”, con uno spirito dell’ospitalità geneticamente determinato, quello della gente egea e mediterranea. Sa essere di estrema compagnia e piacevolezza ma contemporaneamente lasciarti ai tuoi momenti, senza invadenza. I compagni di viaggio semplicemente meravigliosi. Ciascuno con la propria storia, le proprie vite, i propri silenzi che parlano più di tanti rumori e sono fondamentali in barca per trovare e ritrovare sé stessi, Ie proprie risate rumorose, le proprie esuberanze sempre buone e mai troppe, in una perfetta armonia che ha fatto volare il tempo annullandolo per l’intera vacanza. In conclusione : grazie , rifarei tutto da capo!
