This experience, in a nutshell

The course aims to provide notions and experience to deal with offshore navigation, boat and crew management in long navigation conditions.


The theoretical teaching (which will be tackled in navigation) will mainly concern the tracing of routes, the analysis of critical points, the analysis of weather conditions; The practice is represented by 3 days of navigation on the high seas with management of the command, the crew, rest times, feeding and everything related to a navigation that takes up the whole day (and beyond)


TARGET AUDIENCE OF THE COURSE:

Those with fair sailing knowledge, owners and/or licensees who want to hone their skills

STRUCTURE AND LOGISTICS:

The course is divided into 2 days (generally Saturday and Sunday) with several hours of navigation: the nights can be the port of destination, at anchor or at sea

The course begins on Friday evening with the embarkation and preparation of the galley and ends on Sunday at about 17:00 after the return to the port of departure and the accommodation of the boat.

Overnight stay and meals are on board the boat (unless the crew decides to dine in some restaurant in the ports of call). Participation subject to the possession of the annual ASD Acquaria AV card


At the end of the course, a certificate of participation will be issued

Unforgettable and fun experience, very prepared skipper who tamed a sea that was not exactly docile. The fishing competition is beautiful and suggestive.

Paolo, our captain is a nice and prepared person, a travel companion that everyone would like by their side and the boat has all the accessories to travel in comfort. We recommend this type of experience to everyone!! A hug to the skipper from Livorno/Pisa

Negative experience, the weather conditions forced us to return to the port in Piombino for 3 nights. The heavy rain created inconvenience for us because the water entered the cabins, wetting the mattresses. We have some doubts about the behavior of Captain Paolo starting from the lack of assistance in making galleys to retracing the same stretch of coast of the island of Elba 2 times and spending 3 nights at anchor in Porto Azzurro. On the last day we sailed only for a stretch returning to Piombino. More than a sailing holiday, it was motorized. We hope to be luckier in the future.
