totally agree with what Simone T. wrote.

Weekend on a sailing boat in the Gulf of La Spezia, departing from Fezzano. Unfortunately, the weather and some organizational aspects limited the experience a bit: the meeting was scheduled in the late afternoon of the first day (4 pm), and Sunday was ruined by rain, so we went out by boat only on Saturday. Communication from the owner and skipper was not very timely (whatsapp group created a few days earlier), and several logistical details were left to the guests, such as the expense for the galley and the management of the sheets. Some practical information, such as bed arrangements or free parking spaces, was not very clear. There were two skippers on board, one of whom was in training. The navigation took place mainly by motor, due to lack of wind and direct indication of the skipper due to difficulty in hoisting the mainsail. The tender was not available, and the fuel tank was filled up on Saturday morning, further postponing the start. The staff proved to be competent from a technical point of view and helpful in answering curiosities about sailing, but less involved in the management of the kitchen. The port is equipped, even if there are no practical solutions to transport food and luggage (there are only wheelbarrows). Traffic in the Gulf of La Spezia is intense, and it takes at least 30 minutes to get out to sea. Overall, neutral experience: some aspects should be improved, but the company on board was the real added value of the weekend!

We enjoyed the experience very much; it was the anniversary gift for our 15 years of marriage and the Skipper very kindly reserved the bow room for us, more comfortable. Dinner, sleeping and waking up in the roadstead was unforgettable. Too bad that due to the absence of wind we did not open the sails ... In any case, experience recommended.

Enjoyable experience
