This experience, in a nutshell

We will leave from Nettuno, embarking in the early afternoon and, weather permitting, we will leave immediately for Palmarola, where we expect to arrive at sunset. We will drop anchor to spend the first night in the moonlight at anchor, enjoying dinner and the night.

You will find the bulk of the galley already on board, to speed up operations, and it will only be completed with your personal preferences.

Sailing between these islands is a unique experience: the spectacular sunsets tinge the sky orange and pink, and every day you live in close contact with nature, enjoying breathtaking views.

We will be able to swim in the beautiful coves of the deserted Palmarola (Cala Brigantina, Cala dei Gabbiani, Cala del French) and then visit the splendid bays of the largest island, Ponza (Chiaia di Luna, Cala Feola called "The natural pools", Il Frontone, Cala del Core) directly from the boat.

In Ponza, we will have other opportunities to swim in beautiful roadsteads, such as Lucia Rosa and Isola Romana, with the last swim at the Cathedral of Palmarola, and then sail towards Neptune.

Everything will be accompanied by excellent music, good company and a lot of friendship.

Our itinerary

Boarding in Nettuno. We will arrive in Palmarola, a true unspoiled treasure. Its white cliffs and hidden caves offer a wild and breathtaking landscape. Cala del Porto and Cala Brigantina are two of the most enchanting bays, with pebble beaches and waters that fade from emerald green to deep blue. Here, the silence is broken only by the sound of the waves gently crashing on the rocks, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

The second stop will be Ponza, the island that welcomes you with its crystal clear waters and secret coves, such as Cala Luna and Cala Fonte. Here the sea is so clear that you can see the seabed even at a depth of several meters, creating a natural spectacle of rare beauty. Cala dell'Acqua is another hidden gem, a small corner of paradise where time seems to stand still, ideal for a refreshing swim.

I had wanted to sail to the Grenadines for a long time. I am overall quite satisfied with the holiday, despite a bit of tension between a crew member and the captain

Canary-Martinique Atlantic crossing. Adventure of a lifetime!

I am sorry to have to point out the serious shortcomings of the skipper in making the crew find a boat in order and safely to face such a long journey. No sail of respect, the bow old and worn, serious leaks of diesel in the bilge resulting in unbearable smell under deck, we finished the gas a week before arrival ... These are just some of the serious shortcomings of the skipper.----------------------SPOWER OF THE SKIPPER----------------------Caro Federico, I read your review and report the following. I did 7 Atlantic crossings, one of which was completely solo: I don't think I have to take sailing lessons. I can't hide from you that the relationships were difficult with the whole crew. What you call "old and worn sail" brought you all a day early to Martinique, so I do not consider your criticisms valid because with the facts I have shown something else. Unfortunately, contrary to what you told me, none of the crew was actually able to stay at the helm and in the only half hour in which the autopilot did not work there were several moments of difficulty. You boarded believing you were taking a regular sailing cruise and not an Atlantic crossing of over 20 days in the middle of the ocean. I can't even forget your behavior when after being sick in the bathroom you didn't bother to clean in the slightest and left the task to me. The only thing I would like to give you, in part, reason for concerns the loss of diesel, caused by a job done badly by the mechanic and then solved.
