This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing among the Pontine Islands will be an unforgettable experience thanks to the absolute beauty of the landscapes, and the characteristic town, experiencing the pleasure of a sailing holiday, sun, sea, wind.
 
Socializing with the crew members will be very easy in this fantastic context, we will be able to share unique moments united by the passion for the sea and nature.
 
As a sailing instructor, for those who want it, there is also a mini course on the rudiments of sailing and deep sea fishing.
On board with me will be Katia, who will help me in running the boat. 
 
We will be surrounded by the splendid views of Ponza, with its spectacular beaches, such as Chiaia di Luna, the Frontone, Cala Feola with its typical fishing restaurant on the sea, among the most famous and its characteristic natural pools where you can eat fresh fish.
Then we will stop in Palmarola, the wildest and most beautiful with its coves and stacks where we will enjoy crystal clear water and its stacks, and then a visit to the beautiful and characteristic Ventotene with its marine park and the possibility stopping for a day, in port, to visit, for those who want it, the spectacular island of Santo Stefano with its Bourbon prison. The program may vary according to adverse sea weather conditions
 
I look forward to seeing you on board!

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Nettuno.

Check-in: 10:00 AM

Our trip ends here:

Nettuno.

Check-out: 5:00 PM

Leg 1

Neptune - Palmarola

We embark on Saturday and sail to Palmarola where, depending on the weather and sea conditions, we will anchor and spend the night, usually it is at the Spermaturo rock, clear water and sandy bottom, breakfast and swimming in the morning.

Leg 2

Palmarola - Ponza

On the second day we will visit Palmarola, then a swim in Cala Brigantina, a beautiful south-facing cove with its stacks and caves, spectacular for snorkeling, or alternatively Cala del Porto, another beautiful bay, the only part of the island inhabited in summer by very few people and the only one with a pebble beach. Then we will sail to Ponza to reach Chiaia Di Luna, another beautiful bay with a sandy bottom where we will spend the night, and where with the full moon you will experience an intense spectacle due to the cliff that reflects the moonlight.

Leg 3

Meat Cala

Il terzo giorno si possono visitare le piscine naturale di Cala Feola dove la sera sarà possibile mangiare pesce su un ristorantino propio sul mare, pesce freschissimo , il menu infatti varia a secondo del pescato.

Leg 4

Ventotene

On the morning of the fourth day we sail to Ventotene where we will moor at the Roman Port, which is located in the center of the village of Ventotene, which will then allow us to swim inside the park in the area of the swimming pools that are bordered by buoys that do not allow the approach of boats, in the evening for those who want another feast of grilled fish in the port area where there is a famous restaurant that cooks fresh fish at the Grills chosen by customers, I usually choose it personally.

Leg 5

On the sixth day we will stay in Ponza.

On the fifth day two possibilities either the visit to the island of Santo Stefano where it is possible to admire breathtaking views of the sea and visit the Bourbon prison where President Pertini was imprisoned, or alternatively return to Ponza, stopping at the Scoglio della Botte where I will not be able to drop anchor due to its very deep seabed, but it will be possible for those who want to take a swim immersed in a cobalt blue water where visibility reaches up to the 30 meters and you feel suspended in the blue. In Ponza we will try to moor at the pier to visit the town, alternatively we will stay at anchor. 

Leg 6

Ponza

Il sesto giorno staremo a Ponza.

Leg 7

Nettuno

On the last day, we will sail back to Neptune where we will disembark by 5/6 pm. This program may vary according to marine weather conditions

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.

Sailing among the Pontines

08/6/2023

Francesco F.

Luigi is an excellent skipper with extensive experience in sailing and sailing, as well as knowing the Pontine Islands perfectly, always choosing the most suitable place to stop based on sea and weather conditions and safely. It also gave us the opportunity to deepen our knowledge and ability to steer the boat leaving us plenty of space and making us make beautiful sails. The boat is very comfortable, clean and well maintained. Unfortunately due to the weather our holiday lasted about 2 days less than expected, we could not reach Ventotene and we only made a touch in Palmarola. We must also consider that the crossing from Ostia to the Pontine (and vice versa) is quite demanding (about 9 hours), especially if the sea conditions are not optimal. Perhaps it sins a bit in communication, sometimes taking some things for granted, especially at an organizational level or for those who have no experience on the boat.

Posso solo parlare bene dello skipper e del suo vice Giandrea, persone cordiali e disponibili ma soprattutto amanti del mare. Luigi dispensa continuamente insegnamenti di vela e trasmette calma anche quando il meteo non è dei migliori! Finalmente posso dire di aver fatto una full immersion di barca a vela, il motore lo abbiamo utilizzato veramente solo quando indispensabile, inoltre Luigi conosce bene la zona e ci ha dato molte dritte. Ripeterò sicuramente l'esperienza con loro, il tutto è stato reso indimenticabile da una ciurma stupenda. Alessandro
