This experience, in a nutshell

The balloon of a hot air balloon, in addition to being submerged in air, is also filled with air! In other words, a hot air balloon is similar to a ship that has sunk to the bottom of the sea, with the hold invaded by water. How, then, can it float in the air, that is, fly?

The deception is soon solved: the air contained in the balloon of the balloons is hot, and this makes all the difference. In fact, when air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than cold air. In this way, hot air balloons can take advantage of Archimedes' principle and fly, just like balloons inflated with helium, which is a gas that is less dense than air.


And what are you waiting for to set sail with us and experience the thrill of seeing Ventotene in celebration, full of colorful hot air balloons flying in the sky!

4stelle not 5 just to stimulate to always improve. Unforgettable experience excellent the boat wonderful itinerary, all completed in the best management of time and marine conditions, a little disappointing the marine of Istria for the management of public services and services in the port, not dependent on either agency or skipper, great boy Luca, a little immature because of his young age, but already an expert in seafaring practice and super reliable for the choices of roadsteads in perspective, weather conditions and the splendor of day and night landscapes. His management of the crew and the boat was excellent, always ready and efficient to solve the small problems on board that 9adults could have brought. On the boat Gemma there is a piece of mine 💖

Beautiful experience, the Phlegraean and Pontine islands are real favors!! 😍😍😍. A 10 and praise deserves Luca, the skipper, good at everything, in the management of the boat, with the polite, helpful and empathetic crew, all the choices of mooring places, departures, schedules etc .... he has always shared them, also giving choice options to the group (which is absolutely not obvious!)
