This experience, in a nutshell

We will sail between the Pontine Islands: Ponza, Palmarola, Ventotene , choosing together the best route every week.

We have a watermaker, solar panels, two fridges, 4 double cabins, 2 bathrooms (electric) and many outdoor spaces. BUT FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT WE PREFER TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF GUESTS TO SIX PEOPLE.

We will sail as much as possible using the engine only when necessary.

We will sleep in the beautiful bays of the Pontine archipelago but sometimes we will moor in the port to admire the villages and taste their flavors.

On board we have tenders with electric motor and SUP included in the price. We like music and good food, but we also like to bring out that spirituality typical of simple life on a sailboat.

We are looking for travel companions who participate in life on board and who enrich the journey with their photos and stories.

We will ask you to read our way of "experiencing a boat cruise".

Our itinerary

6 islands: Gavi, Zannone, Palmarola, Ventotene, Santo Stefano and the largest, Ponza, from which the archipelago takes its name. Magnificent islets, where the turquoise and transparent sea alternates with the immense granite peaks, the stacks and the caves make the Pontine archipelago one of the most surprising areas in Italy.

It was a fantastic experience and exceeded my expectations in all respects! Pietro has a great human and professional depth: in addition to being a person with a strong personality and empathy, he was a competent skipper and attentive to all our needs. With his enthusiasm, he transmitted to us his immense passion for the sea; He taught us the basics of sailing, allowing us to actively participate in navigation. Thank you very much, Peter! See you soon on board! :)

For me the first ever experience on a sailing boat. The week in which I participated there was not Pietro but Alessandro, who was very kind, very attentive to the safety and well-being of the crew. Together with Cleide, the assistant skipper, they made us feel always at ease. We could not get to Corsica because there were headwinds. I learned that traveling by sailboat and sea also means this: the program is not set in stone and can be subject to variations. Accepting these unknowns is important to understand how to experience the sea. There was just the right mix of semi-long and short sails. It was an educational week: they explained to us when and how to explain the sails, the direction of the winds, the knots. They left us autonomous in defining and making galley. On board we divided the tasks between cooking and washing dishes. We always slept in the harbor. I experienced the sea from a completely different perspective. It was a great experience.

Pietro was a fantastic skipper! Not only did we find a person with great experience, attentive to safety and with a boundless love for the sea, thanks to his welcome and friendliness we spent a wonderful holiday in a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. My partner and I are passionate about sailing and Pietro and Patrizia have been patient and helpful teachers, always ready to answer our thousand questions and to let us practice the maneuvers. We spent a wonderful week of cruising, always sleeping at anchor, fully enjoying both navigation and relaxation. Thanks Peter, we can't wait to get back on board!
