A more than positive experience. Antonio is an experienced skipper who led us through the beautiful bridges despite difficult days due to too much wind. He is also a very good cook, which is not a given. Above all, it is not obvious that the skipper cooks as well, and this is undoubtedly an added value since it leaves you even more time to enjoy the sea. The boat is all made of wood, old style and this is its beauty; certainly small improvements can be made but at the end of the season I think it is more than understandable; The spaces are sufficient and essential as they must be on a sailboat. We were also lucky enough to catch a tuna and meet a dolphin along the way, what else could we wish for? For all of us it went very well. Thank you for everything, Antonio!

7 days and 7 nights not really. Appointment at the port of Nettuno at 5 pm on August 22nd, short planning for the management and purchase of food (which we had to take care of the crew) and preparation of dinner on the boat and night in port, I would not consider it the first day of vacation on a sailing boat. The last day ended on August 28 due to force majeure, that is, to avoid the last night on a boat in the port of Nettuno, now exhausted from spending sleepless nights. Unfortunately, the experience on a sailboat or rather with that type of sailboat not suitable for accommodating 7 people in a sufficiently comfortable way, was not positive. The narrow cabins, the sweltering heat, the very limited space, contributed to the discomfort we had to face on this sailing holiday. The worst thing is the impossibility of sleeping comfortably enough in one's accommodations, I no longer have the age of a kid, 67 years old, I was assigned the narrowest cabin of the boat positioned aft next to the engine, it resembled a real niche where I had to lie down to enter it, while another larger and more "welcoming" central cabin was free, but it was preferred for warehouse use. Skipper Antonio is a good person, an expert in the sea with a lot of experience and we have established, right from the start, a good captain/crew relationship. I got on very well with the crew, made up mainly of 4 underage girls, and 2 adults, all fantastic, caring to make me feel at ease and above all with a smile, thank you. If there had been a crew contrary to what I have mentioned above, it would have been a nightmare holiday. Fortunately everything went well, snorkeling, diving and short freediving in a spectacular landscape contributed to the success of the holiday. This was my first experience - this is the most appropriate term to describe the holiday - and it certainly teaches that before accepting and buying a sailing holiday package, you need to delve into every technical/logistical aspect to avoid incurring experiences that leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

It is challenging to describe an experience, especially when only a few days have passed since its end. I left with my 11-year-old daughter, blindly trusting sailsquare because I had already spent a weekend in the Pontine with the skipper Leonardo and his wife and I was fully satisfied. The Pontine are extraordinary islands from a landscape point of view, for me it is the most interesting sea ever explored with snorkeling, both for the beauty of the marine fauna and for the majesty and variety of the seabed. The company was fundamental, we found true friends, not just travel companions and for this I am grateful. I cannot fail to point out the less pleasant things of the holiday for honesty towards those who organize and those who will use this service in the future. The skipper Antonio is a person of heart, a remarkable cook and an experienced sailor, but his boat is not up to par. It does not have comfortable areas to spend the hours of rest; it is full of details (of no small importance) to be fixed including the limping ladder, the floor that gives way under your feet in some places, the dirt penetrated deeply, the ants. We suffered from the abnormal heat of this period and for this reason we tried to sleep outside (there were 7 of us + the skipper), but alas there were not enough and adequate spaces to find a few hours of peace and rest, to face beautiful but challenging days. In fact, back in port on Friday evening we all disembarked prematurely because we were exhausted by the sleepless nights and exasperated by the discomfort of the external and internal environments. I would not change this adventure, but I would like to leave my sincere comment hoping that it will be interpreted as an incentive to improve by those who have chosen to do this complex and noble job to offer a spartan, but enjoyable stay. In this regard, I would like the boat that has its beauty to be restored, repainted and set up with plenty of cushions (maybe even some backrests where possible would not be bad) so that we can welcome guests as they deserve; the awning is too low on the sides and does not allow you to enjoy the panoramic view and rather than shelter it suffocates; blankets and pads to be used outside should be washed and disinfected every departure, because they give off an unpleasant smell; The engine of the tender should give the guarantee of working, so that the trips are not only beautiful and interesting but also safe. Antonio I know that you care, that the sea is your life and that you know it deeply, so I would like you to welcome my suggestions as an incentive to fill the gaps that penalize your undoubted experience and preparation. I have esteem for you and your wife and I hope that you always have the wind in your sails.

We are a group of 8 people, two families with 4 teenagers in tow! We spent the week of Ferragosto on Antonio's boat. The proposed itinerary is truly enchanting: you touch beautiful bays, lapped by crystal clear water. The captain is a special person, passionate, very prepared, reliable, with decades of experience, very nice and sunny: he made us feel at ease right away, he involved us in the maneuvers, he told anecdotes and curiosities about the places we visited, he was patient and empathetic with everyone. Antonio is also an extraordinary cook: he delighted us with original and truly delicious dishes! Among other things, the weather put us to the test with storms, gusts of wind and even the possibility of tornadoes, but we never felt in danger thanks to the experience of the captain, who was able to cope with every problem with determination. The Dumas sailing ship, completely made of wood, vintage and original, has a somewhat limited surface area for 9/10 guests. But on a boat you still live outdoors and in the water: the rooms are secondary... Thank you Antonio for the nice holiday: your person really makes the difference ❤️
