Wonderful holiday Matteo super top and very special company on board .. to be repeated

Wonderful experience, a familiar, goliardic and collaborative environment was created... For me and my daughter it was the first time on a sailing boat but thanks to the captain, the second and yes travel companions we felt welcomed and pampered ... To frame everything wonderful places, swimming at dawn, golden beaches ... Thank you ❤️

My experience on this boat holiday between Tuscany and Corsica was simply superb. From start to finish I enjoyed every moment: Alessio and Giacomo, our skippers, were exceptional, competent, nice and always able to create the right atmosphere on board. The itinerary? A succession of wonders, including postcard bays, transparent waters and glimpses that make you say "ok, I'll save this in my memory forever". And then life on board, with that feeling of freedom that only a boat can give you: waking up every day in a different place, diving into crystal clear waters, toasting the sunset and laughing under the stars. And I confess that, before leaving, I had also read some negative reviews... And now I just have to smile. They complained about the wind, the weather, check-in times: in short, things that are part of the game at sea and that no one can control. It's a bit like booking a ski holiday and getting angry because it has snowed too much: paradoxical. In fact, those reviews tell much more about those who write them than about the holiday itself. For me, however, everything was perfect. I brought home beautiful memories, new friends and a wealth of moments that will continue to make me smile for months. If you love the sea, the right company and a pinch of adventure, this is one of those experiences that is worth every single second. And for the rest, let certain "criticisms" slip away like waves: the real story is told by the smile that remains printed on you when you go ashore.

Never done a week on a boat before. You have to start from the assumption that it is a particular type of holiday and it takes a bit of a spirit of adaptation, but if everything goes smoothly you will not want to do anything else for the rest of your life. Wanting to minimize the risks and build a memorable experience, Matteo, Alessio and Giacomo are a guarantee. So, what could possibly go wrong in a week on a sailboat? I) Weather: unfortunately the ability to control the sea and the winds does not yet belong to us (but it is rumored that Alessio is almost there) so the ability to read situations and make decisions on the fly becomes fundamental. In our case, given the weather, on the same evening of the departure it was decided to reverse the tour and make 10 hours of direct night navigation to Corsica and then touch Capraia and Elba on the way back. This decision has completely turned our holiday around, guaranteeing us a week of sun and good weather with practically no hours of logistics. So, sometimes the weather can get in the way in an insurmountable way, but be sure that if it is possible they will be the first to propose solutions (and save your holiday) 2) Skipper: consider how difficult it can be to get a group of 10+ people to agree if you don't have a very good knowledge of the places (the most beautiful coves, bays where you can sleep, beaches where it makes sense to get off, the time needed, etc.) or on the contrary how frustrating it is to have a captain who goes at a different speed than the group (i.e. continuous movements, little time in the water, etc). Here you will not run the risk, not so much because they know coves, beaches, bays, ports, etc., very well, (which I hope is common among those who often sail these waters, but remember that there is never an end to the worst), but rather for the passion they put into this work. You will find yourself spending time with a crew that enjoys the beauty of these places at least as much as you do, open to dialogue, always ready to have a laugh and with no desire to rush you 3) Fit with the group: let's face it, spending a week in obviously confined spaces with people you don't know involves the risk of not getting along well with someone. To limit the problem, in addition to the obvious natural selection, Matteo always puts his own effort into building groups that from the height of his experience can work together. Does your approach work? I would say yes. In my case, I spent an incredible week with a super heterogeneous group, getting along well with everyone beyond all expectations To sum up, incredible places that only the boat allows you to experience in this way, competent, nice and easy-going skippers, a superlative group with whom I would have gladly done another month at sea. What else? On one thing, however, I find myself in disagreement with Matteo. I've read a couple of sporadic reviews from people complaining about absurd things like the scarce space they had on the boat, rather than the weather or how they risked their lives doing stupid things themselves. Matthew wisely recommends the mountains to them. Here, I would ask you instead of staying at home otherwise I risk meeting you in the mountains! Yours sincerely, G
