Four-day cruise to Elba or Capraia - Hostess on board

The holiday with Giulia and Vittorio was excellent from every point of view; We spent carefree and fun days, thanks also to the other guests with whom a nice bond was immediately created. Goyave is convenient and comfortable, perfect for discovering the wonders of the island of Elba. During the navigation Vittorio is always available, attentive to the comfort and safety of the crew. Giulia takes care of the guests with her attention and impeccable preparations (Silvia and I still dream of the lunches and dinners prepared by Giulia). In short, together they are a great energetic and close-knit couple. I warn you... Leaving the boat will be the hardest time! Thank you Giulia and Vittorio. If the wind wants it, we will meet again by sea or mountains. See you soon!

Four-day cruise to Elba or Capraia - Hostess on board

Perfect and beyond expectations. For me the last of many experiences on a sailing boat, for my 12-year-old son the first. Large, beautiful boat, in perfect condition and clean and perfectly tidy in all its maneuvers and structures, including the motor tender. Comfortable cabins each with private bathroom. It should be considered that by choice the skipper does not embark more than three couples even if he could embark 4. As for the skipper, what can I say: very nice, experienced, attentive to safety in every aspect (deep connoisseur of marine and non-marine weather) and always available to help you in all your needs. Giulia, the companion and hostess of the crew is the extra gear of the experience on the Goyave. She is not only the cook, but a figure of reference. On the destination, the Island of Elba, there is nothing more to say than what is already known, while as far as the sailing experience is concerned, we experienced the right mix of motor navigation and sailing (obviously always depending on wind and weather) and stops in the various coves for swimming etc etc. Perfect evenings in the roadstead lulled by the waves of the sea. In conclusion: too bad it didn't last long but, if possible in the future, we will do it again, always trying to return to Goyave with its extraordinary crew. THANKS TO GIULIA AND VITTORIO FOR EVERYTHING.

I had a wonderful boat holiday of 4 days and 4 nights, from Tuesday to Saturday, and it was a truly unique experience. To guide us there was Vittorio, our skipper, who with great professionalism and sympathy made us discover the Island of Elba from the sea. Giulia was also on board, who delighted us with exquisite dishes and small delicacies, making every moment at the table a pleasure. The holiday was varied and never monotonous: between baths, explorations, moments of relaxation and new friendships, time flew by. The company of the other guests, of different ages, also contributed to creating an authentic and pleasant atmosphere, making the trip even more special. An experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to experience the sea in a different, fun and unforgettable way.
