an experience that far exceeded expectations!! the skipper, Nico Pente, proved to be really good, helpful, easy-going, nice and able to bring a neophyte closer to sailing, the WWF guide Joelle Montesano was very good!! super prepared, passionate, engaging, enthusiastic!! And then the group, 6 people who in 4 days and 4 nights have been able to create a close-knit group capable of creating and sharing special moments, moments of light fun and deep reflections, laughter and confidences! I wished it would never end!

Unfortunately, this experience was decidedly negative and far below expectations. Due to bad weather, which was already expected in the days before departure, we were forced to interrupt navigation after about three and a half days, compared to the six days of navigation scheduled in the program. We fully understand the need to change the itinerary for safety reasons, but we have found that, in such a situation, there is no real alternative program: once back in port, the remaining days were left without organized activities. Furthermore, the management of security is particularly serious. During our entire stay on board, we were never given a briefing on emergency procedures, nor were we explained the position and methods of use of life jackets. This was particularly worrying when we faced a storm on the open sea on the second day of sailing. Even the equipment for research and observation activities is not standardized between the different vessels. In our case, we only had a camera and binoculars at our disposal, while other boats in the program had additional instrumentation. This obviously involves very different experiences depending on the boat assigned. In addition, despite the fact that in some moments the weather conditions allowed it, we never had the opportunity to sail, since the co-skipper gave up participation the evening before departure and, as we were told, his absence made this activity impossible. Finally, I also found the skipper's attitude towards the participants inadequate: on several occasions the manners were rough and not very courteous, not up to par, in my opinion, with a professionally organized experience aimed at paying customers. Overall, it is an experience whose success is intimately linked to luck, and not to the preparation of the organizers, even if emblazoned such as Sailsquare and WWF.

Positive experience for the nice group of people and for the atmosphere created on board. With reference to the scientific and cetacean observation part, due to the adverse weather the original program has been modified and in the routes we have made the sightings have been practically zero unfortunately

Beautiful experience, I can only recommend it for those who want to experience the sailboat and experience the thrill of sightings as well as life on board. Andrea was very helpful and explained to us in an exhaustive way the life of cetaceans and the reason for this experience. Experienced skipper and help on sightings. The boat needs to be reviewed in general as maintenance and undersized for the number of crew on board, the only flaw (unfortunately)
