This experience, in a nutshell

We offer an unforgettable experience to discover the Pontine, enchanting islands set in a crystal clear sea with breathtaking seabeds.

We will visit the wild and uninhabited Palmarola and the splendid and worldly Ponza, also frequented by the international jet set.

Everyone who sees these islands for the first time is amazed by their beauty that always exceeds expectations!

We know them very well and we will let you discover them by taking you to the most beautiful and evocative places.

This holiday is full of sea, nature, relaxation, sunbathing , fun and new friendships.

We will visit beaches and coves that can only be reached by sea, where you can swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters, have fun with sup boards or sunbathe while listening to good music.

In the evening we will enjoy unforgettable sunsets savoring inevitable aperitifs and at night we will admire the incredibly starry sky away from light sources.

In the evening you will have the opportunity to go ashore to walk through the narrow streets of the picturesque village of Ponza and discover its worldliness and nightlife.

Your holiday will be even more pleasant on board our boat: elegant, comfortable and safe with large spaces both above and below deck that guarantee comfort and privacy.

The program may vary depending on weather conditions or your preferences.

The Boat

The "Jeanneau 53" is part of Jeanneau's top of the range "Yacht" line, which differs from the traditional "Sun Odyssey" line. It is a splendid boat, 16 metres long and 4.80 metres wide, with 15 tonnes of weight, 5 of which are located in the bulb, with a generous sail plan and clean water lines. These characteristics give her marine qualities that also translate into comfort when sailing and stability when in the roadstead. The powerful 110 hp engine makes it possible to shorten travel times while the generous sail plan allows you to grind out miles without realising it. The Jeanneau 53 falls into the Blue Water Cruiser category, i.e. those boats suitable for long-distance sailing around the world. Ours is the version with five cabins (one of which is reserved for the crew) and three bathrooms. The first thing that strikes you as you step aboard is the size of the cockpit: very long, welcoming, with cushions everywhere, ideal for relaxing between one swim and the next and for sharing moments of conviviality (we have also added a removable table to guarantee a total of 10 comfortable seats for meals). Moving forward along the teak deck, one is astonished by the enormous space available for sunbathing. Going below deck, one appreciates the ample size of the saloon with its elegant opposing sofas, the table, the large C-shaped galley with a three-burner hob and espresso machine, lots of drawers and storage space: so much space that guarantees comfort and privacy. The cabins are distributed: two forward, with en-suite bathrooms, two larger, aft cabins and one with bunk beds. The third bathroom, larger than those in the bow, is located on the port side of the saloon. The water tanks have a capacity of a thousand litres, allowing "relaxed" water consumption during normal cruising. On board we also have Wi-Fi, a powerful soundbar and the inevitable coffee pod machine! The tender, essential equipment for enjoying your holiday, is a Highfield 310 with an aluminium hull and outboard motor. Two stand-up puddle boards complete the equipment available to guests. Air conditioning, available when in port.

Leg 1

Monday

Boarding is scheduled in the early afternoon from the tourist port of Nettuno.

After stowing the galley and taking possession of the cabins we will cast off the moorings and just outside the port we will hoist the sails and head for Palmarola.

During the journey you can relax listening to good music and appreciate the pleasure of sailing.

With a little luck we will meet dolphins , often present in this stretch of sea.

The sunset over the sea accompanied by an inevitable toast will be another exciting moment.

Even the approach to the coast and the first anchorage always generate intense sensations and looking around you will realize that you have arrived in a magical place.

Those who wish can take the first bath of the holiday before the aperitif under an incredibly starry sky with the only company of the singing of the diomedee!

Leg 2

Tuesday

As soon as you wake up you will be enchanted by the beauty of the landscape and the incredible transparency of the water that will invite you to take your first swim of the day and you will begin to appreciate the unparalleled advantages of the boat holiday.

The scent of hot croissants will bring you back on board!

After breakfast we will move to the most beautiful spots on the island such as Cala Tramontana, Cala del French, Faraglioni di Mezzogiorno and Cala Brigantina: they are all places of rare beauty, with evocative landscapes, sequences of caves and spectacular passages between rocks and stacks and small beaches.

The day will flow between excursions with the tender, water games, snorkeling and sunbathing.

In the late afternoon we will head for Ponza to experience the worldliness of the lively village not before having had the classic aperitif on the boat.

Leg 3

Wednesday

Day dedicated to the west side of the island.

We will start from the famous Chiaia di Luna and the caves of Capo Bianco, to continue with the bay of Lucia Rosa and its Faraglioni and finally Cala Feola with the famous natural pools. In each bay we will stop to swim, have fun with the sup board and discover the most hidden corners with the tender or simply to look at the landscape while lying comfortably on the boat.

At Cala Feola we will be able to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in Ponza while enjoying the inevitable aperitif and then go ashore to dine in the characteristic La Marina restaurant or stay for dinner on the boat.

Alternatively, you can return to the other side of the island to go ashore again in Ponza.

Leg 4

Thursday

The morning will be dedicated to the last baths and to the discovery of the spots not yet seen such as the hidden Cala Fonte or Cala Felci with emerald water and saffron-colored rock, or Cala del Core and the splendid Emerald Grotto.

In the middle of the day we will have to reluctantly leave the islands to return to Nettuno where we are scheduled to land at about 5 pm.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Pontine Islands aboard a splendid 16-meter sailboat

Four unforgettable days in the Pontine Islands, a simply fantastic holiday! An experience for me definitely to be repeated, and, above all, to recommend to those who love the sea to live at least once in their life to savor a type of journey made mainly of sharing with others and connection with nature! A round of applause to Leonardo, our skipper/captain, and to his wife Elena, second in command, the icing on the cake, who with great competence, professionalism and availability made us explore a small corner of paradise at sea! Together, with the rest of the hilarious crew, to whom my thanks also go to them, we shared everything, endless laughter, dinners on board and on land, in short, indelible memories! See you soon, fair winds, Paola 🥰🤩😍

First time on a sailboat, first time in Ponza, they were 4 days that I will remember and they will have a special place in my heart. Thanks to Leonardo and Elena for the perfect organization, and availability.. The navigation was perfect, despite the rough sea, I never had any doubts about the skipper's skills who showed confidence and experience. The destination and the surrounding areas that we visited with the tender are magnificent,.. I highly recommend this experience , the boat is very nice, clean and comfortable. We shared our holiday with unknown people but with the same desire to spend unforgettable days. Thank you all 🥰

It was my first experience on a sailing boat, I was inspired to be able to travel by sea from cove to cove, but I was full of doubts, I was afraid of being sick. And instead I was practically always fine. I arrived at the port and the departure was unfortunately with very rough seas. Instead, I discovered that with the necessary precautions, i.e. the classic pill, I could feel good and enjoy the sea and navigation! We immediately sailed for five hours, the wind was blowing very strongly, the black waves pushed us and we arrived in Ponza at sunset fiery red. This was just the beginning, I then saw wonders, one after the other coves, rock cathedrals, natural arches, emerald green sea, I do not deny that I was unexpectedly moved by such a wonder .. I was lucky with the group that was bubbly and close-knit. I really appreciated Leonardo's ability to steer the boat with seriousness and palpable experience, he also took us with the tender everywhere, it was an exploration that I appreciated very much. During the day we also had fins, masks and sups available. Elena the wife was always present, very friendly and attentive with all of us. I also loved being able to cook for everyone, I wished I could have done so much more to be honest 😅 I was lucky to do my first sailing with them and I will certainly repeat a new experience shortly. Thanks for everything. 💙

I put myself to the test because for me, it was my first experience on a sailing boat. Leonardo is a Captain who has been able, with his experience, to guide the whole group on this beautiful holiday, he has made us discover places of extraordinary beauty, willing to comply with our requests. Elena entertains the bench, helps her husband and takes care of all the guests. I feel lucky to have chosen this route and these people. The boat is beautiful, kept in impeccable condition, my cabin was delightful. On a boat there are many rules: you have to understand and respect them! This experience is for you if you're open, ready to share fun moments with a group of strangers. keyword: SHARING! A varied and bubbly group, I immediately empathized with most of them. I relaxed, tanned, explored with Sup, snorkeled etc. Beautiful location, the surreal sea! Things I didn't like: the sailor's 😅 shower and the rough sea, for the rest: I can't wait to do it again!!
