Un po’ al di sotto delle aspettative. Luca è molto gentile e disponibile, nonchè uno skipper esperto e ottimo cuoco. Tuttavia, per alcuni aspetti sono rimasta delusa, in particolare in considerazione del fatto che l’esperienza viene presentata come opzione un po’ più lussuosa e comoda (con consequente costo di partecipazione più alto della media). Le cabine sono particolarmente piccole (il [hidden] è una barca da regata riadattata). Inoltre mentre 3 cabine hanno il loro bagno privato, altre 5 persone condividono un unico bagno adiacente a una delle cabine. La hostess Sabina si è rivelata poco professionale e a tratti sgarbata nei confronti dei partecipanti. L’atmosfera si è distesa quando è andata via al terzo giorno della vacanza. Luca è stato bravissimo a sopperire la sua assenza, ma in ogni caso il servizio hostess che viene pagato nella quota non è stato coperto. Purtroppo non siamo potuti andare a vela a causa di un pezzo di sicurezza mancante. Per quanto sono cose che possono capitare, mi domando se la barca fosse stata soggetta alla necessaria manutenzione e controlli prima della partenza. Infine, le condizioni di pulizia della barca non erano ottimali. Già alla partenza, l’esterno era piuttosto sporco. Inoltre abbiamo avuto un problema di formiche a bordo per il quale non è stato fatto niente nonostante le varie lamentele e suggerimenti di acquistare un prodotto apposito.

The magic and beauty of the Pontine islands; Luke's competence; Sabina's efficiency and the pleasant discovery of a group of close-knit travel companions. What more could you ask for? A wonderful experience to be repeated for sure

I bring with me beautiful memories of my first experience on a sailing boat, an experience shared with a friend and with other nice people met on board the beautiful and comfortable boat that hosted us. The skipper Luca immediately gave me security and confidence thanks to his experience and skills, understandable even by a neophyte like me, and also delighted us with tasty meals consumed overlooking the wonderful views of the Pontine islands. Experience to do and repeat.

Very nice holiday. The boat is large with large and comfortable outdoor spaces. We sailed in the Pontine archipelago and admired and enjoyed truly wonderful places, with clear waters of a thousand colors and breathtaking views. Palmarola in particular is an enchantment. Luca was the added value of this cruise, skilled and capable Skipper always master of the situation, who instills security, kind caring, patient and magnificent cook. We ate really well. Excellent meals prepared with care and mainly fish. I did several cabin charter cruises, 3 with Sailsquare, without taking anything away from the others this was certainly the best. A heartfelt thanks to Luca and also to my wonderful travel companions.
