We had a fantastic weekend on a sailing boat with Fabio! The boat was beautiful: comfortable, clean and perfect for six people. But what really made this experience special was the presence of Fabio: always available, kind and ready to share his passion for sailing with great patience. He didn't just take us around, but actively involved us by explaining how the boat works and, at our request, letting us try some maneuvers. It was fun, interesting and engaging. He took us to beautiful places and the night at anchor was simply wonderful: silent, starry, unforgettable. An experience that we really hope to be able to repeat soon!

They were two very nice days, we had a lot of fun. Fabio was kind and nice. We don't leave 5 stars just because we were a bit unlucky with the weather and we spent Sunday closed in the boat under the flood. It doesn't depend on anyone but it didn't make the experience top! Thank you!

Abbiamo trascorso un weekend indimenticabile a bordo della barca di Fabio. Lo skipper è stato eccezionale: estremamente gentile e sempre attento alle nostre richieste ed esigenze. Nonostante il meteo non fosse fin da subito favorevole, è riuscito a farci divertire e a portarci in luoghi meravigliosi. Ci ha anche insegnato i principi base della vela, permettendoci di metterci alla prova e divertirci in prima persona. Un’esperienza che consigliamo tantissimo a chiunque voglia vivere il mare in modo unico e coinvolgente!!

Il weekend in barca a vela è stato bellissimo e ci siamo divertiti tanto. La barca è comoda per sei persone, pulita e organizzata. Fabio è stato discreto ma di grande compagnia, il giro che ha pensato di farci fare è stato molto bello, ci ha insegnato le basi della vela e ci ha consigliato diverse cose che hanno arricchito il weekend. La notte in rada è stata bellissima e andare a vela è stata un'esperienza meravigliosa, peccato solo per il poco vento.
