This experience, in a nutshell

Boarding on Saturday afternoon in San Vincenzo, galley together and first night in port.

On Sunday morning we leave with Elba, Capraia route and later in the week also puntatine to Giglio and Giannutri.

What do I love to do and offer on board? Definitely stay the night in the harbor: very relaxing and peaceful, fantastic to wake up in the morning away from the chaos of the ports and immersed in the sea.

The Tuscan archipelago is splendid and offers many possibilities of bays to visit and land locations to explore together. I also appreciate finding harmony with the crew that got on board: everyone participates in the maneuvers and navigation according to their possibilities :-)

The places that attract me most: Giannutri, a practically deserted island. Giglio, the castle. Portoferraio, the walls and the citadel of Napoleon. Capraia with its splendid backdrops and a nature reserve. But I am open to proposals and requests!

I can't wait to have you on board! We will sail with my brother Massimo M. carrying a Westerly 36 Conway identical to mine! Look at the photos in the "La Barca" section !.

Sailing week in the Tuscan Archipelago: relaxing bays and beautiful islands!

Skipper Alessandro competent, balanced and up to handle many situations but the boat is poorly equipped, lacking numerous basic equipment such as fridge, oven, light and cockpit table, anchor winch engine and tender, sink of the 2nd bathroom and kitchen pots. However, the holiday was wonderful thanks to the skill and collaboration of the skipper Alessandro.

Unfortunately, I can only confirm what was written by the other crew members. Alessandro's sympathy and competence are not discussed, but the boat is really very tanned. Without wanting to go into details (already listed in previous reviews), my particular regret is that the initial program has been totally overturned. I had chosen this opportunity to sail for the Tuscan Archipelago; instead, due to the bad organization and the problems of the boat, we limited ourselves to the usual tour of the island of Elba ... I also believe that Sailsquare should supervise the boats it proposes on its portal

On a human level, our skipper Massimo (brother of Alessandro, with whom we did a flotilla) proved to be capable, nice, helpful and integrated into the group. Whenever possible he also let us go sailing. Therefore the vote for the skipper itself is positive. Unfortunately ruined by the boat, which instead had many flaws, as well as having only 2 cabins for 7 people (but this was written in the ad): small and rowing tender (= very low possibility of using it), no table in the cockpit (instead occupied by the rudder), very little space to lie down. But above all there was always something that broke, from the water pump to the ladder to go down on deck, to the genoa... in short, a small, old and poorly maintained boat. Organization a little too "day-to-day", given the high season and the full ports. It is also a pity that of the entire tour of 4 islands planned, only Elba was made. The holiday was still very pleasant thanks to the group!

Unfortunately and reluctantly I can only confirm what was written in the previous reviews. Alessandro is a good person as well as a good skipper; Maneuvers and knowledge of the sea are not discussed. Unfortunately, the boat has serious problems (I avoid listing them out of pity) such as to make an acceptable "guesting" service impossible. The tour was reduced to a part of Elba, I would have liked to see more...
