This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing between Ponza and Palmarola is an experience that enchants the senses and fills the heart with wonder. Starting from Neptune, you cross a sea that slowly turns turquoise, revealing the Pontine archipelago.


We will arrive in Palmarola, it is a real 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 welcoming island 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 little corner of paradise where time seems to stand still, ideal for a refreshing swim.


Sailing between these islands is a unique experience: the spectacular sunsets that tinge the sky orange and pink. Every day you live in close contact with nature, enjoying views that take your breath away.

Sailing cruise to the Pontine: wonders a stone's throw from Rome

An Unforgettable Week in the Pontine Islands Just returned from a week of sailing to the Pontine Islands and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the most beautiful holidays of our lives. Every single aspect of this experience was just perfect. Our skipper Antonio turned out to be an exceptional person from every point of view. His technical preparation is indisputable: he guided us through the waters with a confidence and competence that made us feel always calm, even during the roughest sea moments. But what impressed us the most was his ability to make every moment fun and engaging. His sea stories, anecdotes and sense of humor created a fantastic atmosphere on board. His attention to all the crew members was truly remarkable. He always verified that each of us felt at ease, he patiently explained each maneuver to those who wanted to learn, and he showed a particular sensitivity in understanding the needs of each one. Safety has always been his top priority, without ever compromising on fun. The Pontine Islands are a true jewel of the Mediterranean. We sailed between Ponza, Ventotene and Palmarola, discovering breathtaking views and crystal clear waters that seemed to come out of a postcard. The hidden coves of Palmarola, with their tuff cliffs and colors ranging from turquoise to cobalt blue, left us breathless. Ponza has conquered us with its characteristic port with colorful houses. Ventotene, with its fascinating history and seabed rich in marine life, was perfect for snorkeling. Each island has had its own unique charm, always offering something new to discover. A special thanks goes to the family who shared this adventure with us. From day one, an atmosphere of great complicity and friendship was created. Evenings spent together on deck under the stars, swimming in turquoise waters, laughter during mooring maneuvers and shared lunches made this vacation even more special. It is rare to find people with whom you immediately create such a natural harmony. The boat was in excellent condition, well equipped and comfortable. We slept lulled by the gentle movement of the sea. Swimming stops and dinghy explorations of caves and coastal spots not reachable by boat created a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. This week on a sailing boat in the Pontine Islands was much more than just a holiday: it was an experience that we will carry forever in our hearts. The professionalism and humanity of our skipper Antonio, the wild beauty of the islands, and the wonderful company made every moment precious. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience the sea in an authentic way and discover some of the most beautiful places in our country. We can't wait to start again. Thank you Antonio, on behalf of all of us!

I had wanted to have an experience on a sailing boat for a long time and with Antonio I could not have had a better 'baptism': prepared, competent, funny and an excellent entertainer, as well as a very good cook. With his stories he enriched the tour, especially when he took us to the coves with the tender; Stories of the sea, life, migratory birds and myths. Even the group that was formed contributed to the success of the experience that with the spectacular waters of Palmarola and Ponza could only be so. Thank you Antonio and his Vito Dumas.

Antonio made us spend a wonderful holiday: he made us visit the less touristy coves taking us around with the tender to caves and isolated beaches, he prepared for us excellent meals for lunch and dinner, he told us many curious anecdotes about the island and their inhabitants. The boat is comfortable and what I appreciated most traveling by boat for a long time was the very high and long awning that allowed everyone to find refreshment during the day. Bathrooms are also particularly spacious compared to average, and wood paneling provides an authentic warm feel. In addition, but the main element of the holiday, is the human side of Antonio: a highly trained and competent skipper but above all a special person for his empathy and attention to others, with a big heart and enormous sympathy and hospitality! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, dear Antonio!! Until next time!

A beautiful mini holiday! Antonio has proven to be a great captain and a great man. Not only does he have obvious nautical expertise but he also has great interpersonal skills and makes you feel comfortable on his comfortable boat. He dedicated himself to all of us with passion and kindness, taking us with his dinghy to all possible coves and caves. He cooked us excellent dishes and delighted us with many stories about the Pontine islands. His boat is extremely clean and the forward cabin a real palace! In addition, the icing on the cake is its legendary awning, spacious and able to offer ample shade! Thank you Antonio, we would definitely choose you again for a new adventure!
