This experience, in a nutshell

Don't you want to say goodbye to summer and still want a holiday?
Spend a weekend of relaxation and fun as you discover the Pontine Islands in a flotilla of multiple sailing boats.
Sail in the pristine sea, meet new people, party and dive into the most beautiful bays of Ponza and Palmarola: Cala Brigantina or Lucia Rosa's Faraglioni.

On Saturday we will sail towards Ponza to moor in the port for the night, so we can have an aperitif on the beautiful terrace of the Ki Bar in Chiaia di Luna to admire the suggestive sunset over Palmarola with its breathtaking view. We can then continue the evening between one club and another having the convenience of being independent to return to your boat moored in the port. On Sunday the skipper will leave early to make you wake up in the beautiful Cala Francese di Palmarola, where we can immerse ourselves in its splendid crystal clear water and whoever wants to can explore the practically uninhabited island. We will leave for Neptune around 2:00 pm to disembark by 6:00 pm.

Do you like the idea? Get on board and spend a fun weekend on a sailing boat with us!



Friday
Boarding from 5 pm at the Nettuno marina. After getting to know each other and arranging the galley (shopping) and luggage on board, if the crew arrives by 20:00, we will leave for an enchanting night sailing under the stars. Alternatively we will sleep in Nettuno and the skipper will set sail at dawn. After 5 hours of navigation we will anchor in one of the beautiful bays of Palmarola, where we will sleep or wake up in the absolute peace that this fascinating practically uninhabited island can offer us.

Saturday
We will wake up calmly and we will be able to take the first bath in the beautiful blue and crystalline sea even before breakfast. Once the boat has been arranged, we will set sail and sail - learning those who wish to carry out the various maneuvers on a sailing boat - towards one of the beautiful bays of Ponza, where you can relax, snorkel and even excursions with the tender. Before or after lunch we will definitely go to another of the beautiful beaches of the island, and then head to the port of Ponza where we will spend the night. Going ashore, we will have the opportunity to go for an aperitif at the Ki Bar, a very trendy and characteristic place where you can admire the sunset over Palmarola.

Sunday
We will head back to Palmarola to go for an excursion with the tender to the fantastic Faraglioni di Mezzogiorno, to Cala Francese or to the Cathedrals and finally we will leave for Nettuno, immediately after lunch between 13 and 14.

Disembarkation is scheduled in Nettuno by 6pm.

Overall, I liked the experience, but I would have preferred more attention and care in the organization of travel, group moments and, above all, moments dedicated to the sea. Unfortunately, due to some organizational shortcomings on the part of the Different Sailing staff, I feel that it was not possible to fully enjoy the experience. The boat was also delivered to us late and in less than optimal condition: it was not particularly clean and in the following days we had to take care of the cleaning ourselves. As for the holiday itself, however, it was a lot of fun, especially thanks to our crew, made up of wonderful people who helped make the experience much better. However, it should also be noted that, initially, a maximum of 10 people per boat was expected, while in the end we found ourselves in 13, without having been adequately informed of the change. In my opinion, 13 people were a bit too many for the available space and this inevitably affected the comfort on board. Ultimately, I can't say that the experience was totally negative, because the group and the people I met made the holiday enjoyable. However, considering the organizational aspects and the condition of the boat, we will probably choose another company rather than Different Sailing in the future.

Overall nice experience, but mainly due to the people who participated and the beauty of the places visited. From a human point of view, my skipper and co-skipper are two wonderful and super pleasant people. The organization should be reviewed on some things and there is certainly room for improvement: - in 7 days practically no boat has almost never sailed (I can understand that the wind cannot be controlled, but even when there is sufficient minimum it has not even opened the sails a little just enough to let the crew enjoy the experience, but the impression of many was that there was no desire to unfurl the sails because it was more convenient to travel by motor); - lack of clarity on the program to follow (very often improvised); - confusion about the galley (practically all the boats received an expense that did not fully correspond to the agreed list. If it had been the crew's task to verify, we were not told, perhaps we could have at least pointed out to pay attention since many were at their first experience); - insufficient moments of celebration and socialization (few times we packed with the boats, most of the time they were all "mismatched" and even when the music was played, maybe just 2 evenings, it was turned off quite early. Many of us did not feel the typical spirit of the flotilla); - selection of the crew (some elements proved to be disturbing even before the start, already when booking the holiday, and it was the common idea of many crew members that these elements should not have had the opportunity to participate); - little involvement from the skippers and co-skippers (there was no initial presentation of the various components and between the various crews, which normally happens in other holidays of the same type, but even throughout the holiday it was noticed that they were doing a lot of their business; - inadequate explanation of the main safety rules (we have been extensively explained how to use the toilet, how to arrange personal and galley things, but not what to do or not to do on the boat for our safety and that of others).
