This experience, in a nutshell

New Year's Eve in Ventotene!

Come by boat with us for the feast of Santa Candida and discover the beauty of Palmarola, Ponza, Ventotene and Santo Stefano immersed in the festive atmosphere.


The traditional hot air balloon race is truly an unforgettable experience, immersed in the unique atmosphere of a beautiful island.


Five days and four nights by boat and sea  is what we all need.

As always, we will offer you relaxation, contact with nature and fun.

We will see fantastic and exclusive bays and roadsteads, reachable only by boat; the Faraglioni and the Cathedrals of Palmarola, Chiaia di Luna and the Natural Arch of Ponza, Parata Grande and the Scoglio della Nave in Ventotene.

We will wake up in the silence of bays with crystal clear waters , in which we will dive immediately, ready for a new day to discover our wonderful islands.


You will be able to double your fun by participating in the activities and manoeuvres on board with the teachings of a skipper/instructor with many years of experience.


PLEASE NOTE: The program is indicative and may be subject to changes, even radical, due to adverse weather conditions in place/forecast or needs/choices of the crew. The experience is organized by the sports club of which I am a member in the form of an educational cruise, you will be sent a contract (as per law, to protect everyone).
