This experience, in a nutshell

Discovering 4 magical islands: Giglio, Giannutri, Palmarola and Ponza


Giglio is a gem, a

delightful village is home to a small, lively port surrounded by enchanting bays, cliffs, breathtaking views and a crystal clear sea. Giannutri, sculpted by waves and wind, wild, pure and almost uninhabited, is the ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in a still intact nature. Similar to an atoll, it has an amazing bay inside. At the end of a beautiful sail we will arrive in Palmarola, the northernmost and wildest of the Pontine Islands. Sculpted by waves and wind, it has spectacular coves and cliffs. Its cave-houses have been inhabited since prehistoric times. From there to Ponza, another fairytale destination, the distance is short. Its picturesque village is perched around the semicircular port, the summer residence of the ancient Roman patricians. Even today you can admire the tanks created thousands of years ago for fish farming. The bays, starting with Chiaia di Luna and Cala d'Inferno, are spectacular

I really enjoyed the cruise with Riccardo. He is an experienced sailor and I trusted him, which is very important, especially if you have make a long crossing between islands, as we did. Riccardo took us to a lot of pretty places, and the trip was filled with beautiful moments like eating dinner together with the entire crew while enjoying the sunset in a lovely bay at anchor, or swimming in the sea during the day to cool yourself down. La dolce vita. The boat is well-equipped and comfortable, and the captain goes out of his way to make everyone comfortable. Obviously there were also some misunderstandings, but honestly, that is to be expected in a group of people traveling and living together for a week, and I think all quarrels which arose were handled properly in the end. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Riccardo!

Uno skipper che usa quasi sempre la vela! Cosa non scontata. Pur essendo una barca datata, è leggera e bilanciata, così da navigare bene anche con poco vento. Riccardo, è, infine, una persona gentile e paziente. Esperienza positiva: consigliato per persone spartane e che amano veleggiare.
