This experience, in a nutshell

Lampedusa, Linosa and Lampione are islands that we have known for many years and in which we have been sailing since 2004. We appreciate the exciting variety of land and sea landscapes, the spirit and modus vivendi of the inhabitants. The week on a sailing boat is an opportunity for us to share the experience of being in the Pelagie Islands, in the heart of the Mediterranean, halfway between Europe and Africa, respecting the rhythms of nature and slowing down those of everyday life.

In Lampedusa, a strip of African land, we will drop anchor in coves where the water has Caribbean hues and transparencies, such as the Tabaccara. On the north side we will stop under imposing cliffs and blue backdrops. Swimming with the mask, we will easily see rays, groupers, owl fish, parrots, octopuses and other varieties of fish. We will see the Queen's falcons nesting on the cliffs. Even in the middle of the tourist season, we will have the opportunity to spend the dayfall and the starry nights in semi-deserted roadsteads.

Not only the sea but also walks on land that in the hottest period we propose to do at sunrise.

Aperitifs in crowded places with deafening music and sunset views from souvenir photos are not for us. In Lampedusa we offer an aperitif - included in the fee - in Porto M, which works on the recovery of Sicilian musical and cultural traditions (including the puppet theater) and through a small museum space offers a reflection on the themes of migration. We will meet the Agricola Mpidusa association, whose products feed the galley on board.

If the weather permits, we will go to Lampione, an uninhabited islet with a seabed rich in fish.

The route between Lampedusa and Linosa, about 5 hours, will be an opportunity to participate in navigation and maneuvers, experience the feeling of being on the high seas and if we are lucky we will spot dolphins and loggerhead turtles.

In Linosa, a small and unspoiled volcanic island, with a simple walk we will walk to the craters (extinct for 600,000 years) from which to admire the island from above, the green and black cliffs and the blue sea that surrounds you. With the mask we will admire basaltic seabeds, arches and caves. It is also possible – with local boats – to watch a unique spectacle at sunset, the return of thousands of shearwaters to their nests. One evening we will be having dinner at the I Germogli association, which supports health and educational projects in Uganda. The proceeds of the dinner, included in the fee, will go to support the projects

We do the initial shopping and cook gladly, those who want can participate in the kitchen, everyone will help tidy up and wash the dishes. We don't want you to waste time on the first day of your holiday for supermarkets but the spirit is collaborative, we like to say with a smile "this boat is not a hotel!". The galley is based on fresh fish, local products (vegetables, cheeses) and specialties of the excellent local delicatessens and pastry shops. We will be sensitive to intolerances and/or allergies that you communicate to us.

Depending on the organization of the week, the experience can be conducted by Lorenzo and Emanuela together, or by one of the two skippers flanked by a second trusted sailor who will collaborate in the management of navigation and life on board. In any case, you will always find an experienced crew on board, ready to welcome you and make you live an authentic, safe and engaging experience.

Beautiful experience, super experienced skipper! The islands of Lampedusa and Linosa are enchanting and the skipper Lorenzo is 10 out of 10: he has a great deal of experience and knows the place perfectly. It made us experience a beautiful and different holiday than usual, despite the weather was not totally on our side (very hot week and incessant sirocco). The only constructive criticism goes to the [hidden] boat: it is rather dated and the spaces on board are a bit tight. There were 9 of us in total (7 guests + skipper and assistant skipper), perhaps a little too high for the type of boat. Reducing the number of participants would greatly improve comfort. Apart from that, the holiday remains absolutely recommended and promoted with flying colors for the itinerary and management!

Not just a sailing holiday, but an idea of a holiday. Lorenzo is an experienced skipper and above all he knows everyone a bit. More than Lampedusa, I was surprised by Linosa, an island of strong contrasts and less touristy, decidedly beautiful.

Here is the second updated version with the name of the [hidden] boat and without the blank spaces between the paragraphs (immediately wrapping after the dots): Seven dream days on [hidden] with authentic professionals! Wonderful week in Lampedusa and Linusa aboard [hidden] with Lorenzo and Federica. Lorenzo is an excellent owner and sailor, endowed with a true and genuine kindness that makes you feel immediately at home. Federica was a fantastic guide and help skipper. Continuous attention, exquisite seafood cuisine and a total immersion in the local culture thanks to their contacts and their knowledge of the place. Extraordinary value for money for the level of service and experiences offered. Highly recommended!

An exceptional holiday/experience. We had a great time with Emanuela (Manu) and the whole group. We couldn't have asked for more. For those interested in knowing a little more. We traveled with my partner (English) and this is our fourth boat experience with a group of "strangers" (at the beginning). The first with Manu. The boat is spacious and well equipped. We eat very well and help a little (but this was an opportunity for us to make a group and feel useful). You can learn a bit of sailing. The places are beautiful and there are also cultural opportunities and exchanges of ideas, if you feel like it. The atmosphere is as if you were with long-time friends (constructive, fun and absolutely not formal). We would leave tomorrow too...
