This experience, in a nutshell

Ora che il sole sorge presto e non tramonta mai e' il momento per gli amanti della luce e del mare.
Una settimana all'insegna della Vela, del sole, del mare di indimenticabili aperitivi al tramonto e di un'ottima cucina a bordo.

Senza tralasciare la movida elbana degli affascinanti vicoli dei piu' noti borghi marinari e non dell'isola, dove assaporare un bianco locale, mentre scorgiamo tra la folla qualche personaggio del jet set internazionale, per poi tornare alla quiete di una magica notte in rada passata a chiacchierare in pozzetto e sorseggiando un buon rum invecchiato.
Insomma tutto cio' che io mi aspetterei da una crociera all'Elba.

Desideriamo farvi vivere una crociera dedicata alla condivisione della barca, degli elementi e delle conoscenze ed esperienze personali , un viaggio mirato all'osservazione della bellezza dei luoghi filtrandone l'essenza tramite la passione per la vela e per il mare.

Vi attendiamo la sera per l'aperitivo e per condividere la cena a bordo, avremo così l'occasione di conoscerci e per me di comprendere le vostre attitudini e capacità individuali, così da poter gestire al meglio l'equipaggio, che il mattino seguente, dopo un'abbondante colazione, sarà pronto a salpare.

Dopo un briefing sul come comportarsi a bordo, e poi via: molliamo gli ormeggi e facciamo rotta verso l'Elba.

Impossibile stilare un programma; mai più indicato che su una barca a vela è il vecchio adagio "Vai dove ti porta il vento" . Interpretando d'esperienza cielo e mare e con un aiutino dal bollettino meteo ci dirigiamo verso la splendida Elba, che raggiungeremo verso il mezzogiorno. Lì, dopo aver dato fonda all'ancora avrete modo di godere a pieno del mare cristallino dell'isola.

Nel frattempo io ed Angela appronteremo il pranzo, sempre fresco e diverso e adatto alla stagione estiva. Nel pomeriggio salpiamo nuovamente questa volta dirigendoci verso un ridosso sicuro dove trascorrere la notte in rada o in una delle accoglienti marine delle più note località dell'Elba. Avremmo quindi l'opportunità di visitare Portoferraio, Porto Azzurro, Marciana Marina e Capoliveri.

Con la nostra pluriennale esperienza io ed Angela faremo di tutto per rendervi la permanenza a bordo la più emozionante e divertente possibile.

È sempre particolarmente gradito l'interesse e la partecipazione alla navigazione velica, alla quale abbiamo dedicato la nostra storia, e che continua a rendere magica ogni nostra nuova esperienza!

The experience did not live up to expectations. Some basic equipment (a bathroom, tender and SUP) were not available for the entire holiday, creating several inconveniences. Cleaning and meals were also handled in a very basic and repetitive way. The management of the return was particularly problematic: we were told that it was not possible to sail, but the conditions were good and we were forced to return by land, with children and a lot of luggage, at our expense. I believe that there is room for greater professionalism and transparency: the holiday could have been much more pleasant with clearer communication and better organization.

Skipper and hostess service disappointing from all points of view: boat safety management in adverse weather conditions and not, galley and kitchen management, itinerary planning, and above all berths, lack of availability and listening to guests, discrepancy between what is the promotion of the stay and what is really offered (excellent cuisine, hostess service, three cabins and three bathrooms, etc.). Vacation saved thanks to beautiful friendship with other guests

Sorry to have to confirm the negative reviews of Samantha and Lorenza. Girls (met on a boat), tough, nice and without the stench under their noses, with other experiences of sailing holidays and spartan trips. The third "girl" is my wife Marie and she is also equally unhappy. Surely the bad weather has negatively influenced the judgment of all of us, but those who go to sea know that with a good galley, good management of the landings and ... of good wine everything is compensated. Unfortunately none of this! If we then add the 3 bathrooms out of order, the punctured tender (...) and no info on safety management, things get complicated and the tension increases. The cost for the galley (NOT agreed) was disproportionate to the quality and quantity offered. It is true that if you find the shopping already done by skipper and hostess, avoid a good fuss ... but how sad !! Furthermore, If you also pay for a Hostess, you expect something more... When they offer you a tour of Elba, it is normal that some port has been booked where you can spend a nice evening on land, have a pleasant breakfast and ... to defuse tensions. Even more so if the weather is bad. Then if due to weather conditions or the crew's desire the program changes, it is canceled and peace. What is certain is that in Elba, you cannot book the day before (but not even a week before) in the middle of August with adverse weather. So in the harbor of Porto Ferraio we caught the storm of wind and rain on August 20th. Crazy gusts and another boat came at us. Most of all, the condition of panic that was generated in part of the crew in seeing how the emergency was handled by the skipper and hostess was bad. The situation was particular but I have seen worse. We were at anchor, without a wave. If only we had had fenders and some more preventive info, everything would have been resolved in a more peaceful way. Finally, I found it strange that we were asked to pay the port for the night after disembarkation, that is the 7^ night, when the holiday was 5 days and 6 nights. Well ! John and Marie

I felt like an unwanted guest; advertised boat with three bathrooms and three cabins while instead the cabins available for guests are 2 and the actual bathrooms only 1 because the other two are former closets in which a toilet and a sink to be extracted like a drawer have been installed; moreover, both 'toilets' not working from day one; We then used the only bathroom in 6, except for the last day when it too no longer worked. For the galley, made by the skipper and his partner, the indications received were not taken into account (I do not eat meat and they did not provide any alternative, if not remedied at the last moment), despite the amount paid, the food was poor both in quality and quantity as well as lacking preparation (boiling potatoes or pasta is not cooking, much less season it by opening 2 cans of tuna and a tablespoon of capers). Fabio and Angela are also good people but they are not suitable to host on their boat.
