This experience, in a nutshell


Spring is a special time to go to sea: the weather turns to beautiful and the tourist destinations are not yet crowded as in the summer season, the time is marked without frenzy revealing the truest and quietest dimension of each place.


On board you will find the welcoming environment of an inhabited boat and a crew ready to take care of every aspect of navigation and the well-being of its guests. Children are welcome; The youngest of the crew, our almost 3-year-old son, will also sail with us. 

We don't like to be in a hurry, the

essence of sailing doesn't include hit and run: we like to stop in places, snorkel and swim, fish, explore every corner of the roadstead with the tender ,   go ashore curious to see and discover but also loiter in the hammock discussing with a sailing companion or entertaining ourselves with a good book in the shade of the awning, peeking here and there out of the corner of your eye at the landscape that surrounds us, different every time.

If you like, you can participate in the manoeuvres and learn the basics of sailing and seafaring culture, or just think about relaxing and enjoying all the little pleasures that going to sea offers us.


It will be possible to devote ourselves to shore or sea excursions and, always based on the weather and sea conditions, we will decide together how to plan the days available. A weekend of relaxation, contact with the elements, good food for the body... and for the soul!


San Vito Lo Capo will welcome you with its beach all tinged with coral pink and its breathtaking landscape guarded to the east by the silhouette of Monte Monaco which then opens the spectacle of the wild coast of the Zingaro Reserve, and to the north by the ancient lighthouse beyond which, turning the bow to the west, the splendid bay of Macari opens up and you can see the silhouettes of the Egadi Islands.


Once we have chosen our destination, we will be ready to cast off the moorings and leave the port of San Vito to discover the wonders of the north-western coast of Sicily: we could sail between the Zingaro Nature Reserve and Monte Cofano. Or, if you want to go a little further, put the bow to the northeast towards Ustica and its crystal clear seabed or towards the Egadi Islands, where history and nature create an extraordinary landscape to be slowly discovered; In both cases, a half-day sail (about 6 hours) will allow us to reach a safe anchorage.

Weekend at the end of May really nice with Antonio and Bianca! Everything was perfect, from their great experience at sea to the kindness and family atmosphere. The boat is a gem, kept with care and love. They are two true lovers of the sea, with a lot of experience. Absolutely recommended 🥰

Sailing to discover north-western Sicily and the Egadi Islands

08/7/2023

Alessia Maria N.

A crew of 5 people have never been on a boat. Antonio and Bianca were always ready to teach us how to best enjoy all the time on board, explaining what were the things to see, what to do and always putting us in a very, very pleasant and safe situation. We visited the Egadi islands and saw the bays of San Vito lo Capo. All the time together was a way to discover new things, from how you are during navigation, to what are the characteristics of this stretch of sea. We were assisted by wonderful weather and saw dolphins, a swordfish, starfish. And above all we learned that traveling is always a way to find what makes us feel good taking into account what is around us "Let's make the plan and then see where to feel better". Thank you Antonio and Bianca for your wonderful hospitality. A journey that will be forever in our hearts.

Antonio and Bianca are two great connoisseurs of the sea and believe in what they do. The boat, being their home is cozy and well maintained, going to sea with them is like entering a friend's house. Antonio and Bianca cooked for us and covered us with attention to make us relax and enjoy the sea to the fullest. We were able to get to know a beautiful part of Sicily that we did not know. Thank you

Antonio and Bianca were extremely helpful and kind to us both in the pre-departure and during our first boat experience. We were pampered and they always found a solution to satisfy our desires, whether they were a destination to reach or a culinary experience. They introduced us to the sea, the traditions of the sailor, taught us how a sailboat works. We had the opportunity to chat like friends, giving us a fun, interesting and relaxing holiday. Being their home the boat was equipped with everything we needed, making us feel at home. We were really excited about the holiday not only for the enchanting places we visited but for the company of two sea lovers like them.
