This experience, in a nutshell

"An island that has been able to remain an island. A microcosm unto itself. Ponza is grumpy and beautiful. Reckless, distrustful and never predictable. Among prickly pears, bougainvillea and explosions of broom, I lose myself in the beauty of its sunsets and find my paradise in the bays".



Described in this way by the greatest poets, Ponza is the main island of the Pontine archipelago.


On this island there are rocky and sandy beaches, coves, stacks and its pristine crystal clear sea.



A little further east stands its non-twin sister Ventotene, here you will not miss walks in the Roman port carved into the rock with its load of history and tradition of the seafaring art of our sea.



To the west of Ponza there is the small, beautiful and wild island of Palmarola. An uninhabited island that, thanks to its bays, will give our eyes a spectacle of colors and scents of nature.




Between fun, sailing and relaxation, you will experience a holiday full of amazement with a friendly boat ready to welcome you with maximum comfort to let us enjoy this corner of paradise of our sea.

Magical Aeolian Islands!

Because not much was written for Francesco’s itinerary compared to other trips, I was nervous about what we’d do. There was no need, since we did everything listed on other trips. Rooms are small but having a private bathroom was sooo nice and there is plenty of room on the rest of the boat to find a comfortable place to be. Francesco keeps the boat in meticulous condition, is an awesome captain, low key, funny (I wish I understood Italian since I definitely missed some jokes), knowledgeable about best places to swim or explore, and was very aware and accommodating of each persons needs. The boat is filled with supplies before leaving the dock, just let Francesco know what you prefer for meals. We had most meals on the boat, either made by him or other guests. If people chose to go out more, I’m sure he would have accommodated them. The cost of supplies is split amongst the group. We loved spending time with the group we were with. Such an awesome experience- thanks Francesco!

Francesco è innanzitutto molto simpatico, estremamente professionale e gran conoscitore del mare. Claudia (la sua barca) è sempre pulita, ordinata e accogliente. Nella settimana alle Eolie trascorsa su "Claudia" si è creato un bellissimo gruppo che ha condiviso tutti i momenti fantastici che la navigazione (appena possibile a vela) ci ha regalato in questo angolo di paradiso: magnifici tramonti, notti e albe in rada, lunghi bagni nell'acqua cristallina e cene e pranzi preparati e consumati insieme. Magica la serata di fronte alla sciara del fuoco di Stromboli! insomma consigliatissimo e tornerò sicuramente a navigare con Francesco !

La rifarei mille altre mille volte! Le Eolie non hanno bisogno di presentazioni e grazie a Francesco tutto è risultato perfetto. Come lo chiamo io il grande gigante gentile del mare. È un ragazzo appassionato e soprattutto esperto. La sua barca è tenuta in ottime condizioni e non manca nulla. Sembra proprio di stare in una casa galleggiante. Inoltre, francesco

Superconsiglio! (anche per chi è alla prima esperienza con una barca a vela). Francesco è un capitano esperto che trasmette la sua passione per il mare e le Eolie sono sempre bellissime (:
