I copy and paste Alberto F.'s review of August 2020. As for me, I can do the same, precise, identical review. in addition I add that I did the week on the boat with Roberto in August 2019 and 1000 characters are not enough to describe all the negative aspects of the holiday! Luckily the rest of the crew were our friends otherwise it would have been a nightmare! I just make a summary to be concise and clear. I think that to offer a service to unknown customers (of any age, any need, any expectations with respect to the sailing holiday) you must have some characteristics that Roberto and Patrizia DO NOT HAVE AT ALL: you must first be friendly, nice, proactive, correct, consistent, capable, and in the particular case of skipper on a sailboat (owned) you must be HOSPITABLE. Taking a holiday with Roberto and Patrizia means throwing away a lot of money, consuming your holidays and getting

I think that one of the most complicated aspects in the life of a skipper, as well as the guide at the helm under the sun, the wind and the rain (and unfortunately we have taken a lot of rain!), is above all the ability to manage the relationship with the crew and I must say that Roberto and Patrizia were professional and, in my opinion extraordinary, in ENDURING, always keeping calm and kindness, a crew composed of some people who in several situations have turned out to be uneducated and rude. As for my experience I consider Roberto and Patrizia two very pleasant, discreet and kind people, (Patrizia then is a super cook!) The boat is beautiful, clean and well cared for both inside and outside. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to make a holiday of relaxation and the discovery of natural and unspoiled landscapes, for those who are looking for a completely different type of holiday I suggest to orient themselves rather on islands like Pag!

I did not like the obligation of full board from € 45 dropped to € 35 (€ 235 per person € 1175 of galley excluding drinking to eat pork fillet, lasagna and parmigiana seem really excessive to me) of course, the service of washing the dishes and setting I would have recognized but so it is really too much. 10€ per person for the exaggerated sheets, 50€ per week the sheets had to be new. The moorings, at our expense, rightly, were always chosen by the skipper and I never understood why always above the wind, even if reported several times. In the evening it was impossible to play cards. To embark wine and spirits was immediately a struggle, what could we do in the evening if not drink?!? And never anyone drunk. The rowing tender?!? We were forced to row even against the wind because you could not move the boat to the buoy closer to land or moor it at the pier. At 9 pm low music because we were annoying... We were on vacation to have fun but it was not!

Experience only 60% successful. Roberto skipper experienced but not inclined to meet the basic needs of 5 guests in their thirties. Good cuisine at times studied but not enough to justify the cost of extras, which turned out to be far higher than previously indicated. Poor attention to the basic hygiene rules, compatibly with the natural "constraints" of a boat holiday. Inattention aggravated by the covid-period. HEAVY NEGATIVE NOTE: the tender, initially declared to have an engine, did not have any. So, in a meteorologically not exciting week, we had to give up several trips and expose ourselves in spite of ourselves to emergency situations that have caused the morale of all the guests to collapse several times, basically abandoned to ourselves, being able to count only on our strength as rowers. Therefore, in such conditions experience not suitable for guests under 30 but not even for over 50. -------------------------------------------- SKIPPER ANSWER ------------------------------- Filippo, among your various arguments without any feedback, stands out the one on the lack of the tender engine, being clearly written that among the equipment of the boat the same is an optional to be requested and paid separately. But I agree on one thing: I am not and will never be a skipper suitable for managing companies of any age, whose only reason for vacation is to consume alcohol and spirits from early morning until late at night. For me, sailing is something else, sport and discovery of a dimension that I can't find in any happy hour.
