This experience, in a nutshell

The balloon of a hot air balloon, in addition to being immersed in the air, is also filled with air!


In other words, a hot air balloon is similar to a ship sunk at 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 the 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 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!

Weekend of sea and colors between Ischia, Procida and Vivara

FEDERICA L.

Really great sailing weekend! In addition to the beauty of the experience and the places visited, I had the opportunity to learn many things about the world of sailing. A special thanks to Emiliano, who with great competence and passion explained the operation of the boat, actively involving us and letting us try out different activities on board. It was a beautiful way to experience the sea not only as a passenger. Experience that I absolutely recommend to those who want to combine fun, adventure and learning!

This was my first boat adventure and what an adventure, starting from the boat which is much more spacious than I expected, passing to Emiliano, the skipper, who with his professionalism and sympathy explained the rudiments of navigation and finally the location, Ischia and Procida, which are a spectacle of Campania.

I left for a weekend with "Spasso a vela" and it was an unforgettable experience. The boat is very comfortable, equipped with all possible amenities, it is very spacious, the cabins are comfortable and the 3 bathrooms on board are more than enough to feel comfortable. During our weekend we encountered slightly rough seas and a bit of wind but despite this thanks to the skipper's navigation experience, both in managing the navigation and in finding strategic points to dock, the weather conditions that were not entirely favorable did not weigh on us at all, so we fully enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and the sea. It was also super interesting to participate actively in life on board, the skipper taught us a lot of notions and involved us in the maneuvers. It is an experience that I recommend and that I will definitely return to do with "Spasso a vela".
