This experience, in a nutshell

An experience created to offer a family the opportunity to live in contact with nature, caressed by the wind in total relaxation without thinking about the kitchen and the order of the boat.

We want to give those who get on board the opportunity to fully enjoy the beauty of these non-touristy places by sailing in the most hidden bays and in harmony with nature, enjoying stars, sunrises and sunsets in lightheartedness. To manage the kitchen there will be Estel, who with care and love will offer a simple and tasty menu.

For the little ones, ample leisure and time to play with two active and self-confident 7-year-old travel companions with fishing, diving, and the opportunity to learn how to navigate safely as well as citizen science actions for microplastics monitoring.

Routes and timing that consider children's times.

To allow everything there will be a boat equipped for the needs of the exploration trip. Great autonomy and space to carry out the different activities; 500 liters of water, solar photovoltaic, n°2 toilets.

Esplorare ciò che è nascosto nelle Piccole Cicladi

I didn't do the review before for lack of time and desire given how it went. I don't know how the others managed to write the previous reviews... the fantastic places an infinite peace, but I would have some things to say about it, the boat was old '89 and badly put you could not even shower inside and only cold water outside with shower. (Water run out 2 days before returning due to problems with the tanks according to Gianluca) In addition, the rigging and condition of the boat and sails were at risk (heard in a low voice even from him to the other crew member). The cockpit, small invisible table, you didn't even fit in there for lunch. The skipper was not very sociable, sometimes grumpy, he did not know the areas where we were sailing, so we sailed only during the day, taking time away from all the activities we could do, different places to see. I'm not a pain in the ass, I just have a bit of experience at sea and sailing

Fantastic experience among the Greek islands with an impeccable skipper! We actively participated in the maneuvers and it was a lot of fun to live immersed in nature into the wild. Seen incredible starry skies and made aperitifs with top-notch sunsets. Great Gianlù and great crew! To be redone I would say! ;)

Gianluca was the perfect skipper for our first sailing experience. He has a great passion and respect for the sea. He introduced us to a simple and authentic style of travel, always in contact with nature. The sunsets, the sunrises, the crystal clear bays, the turns and the good times with all the crew we will miss so much!

Gianluca was a great skipper. He solved unforeseen events, he always tried to do his best. He is a person who unites and forms the group, involves and entertains everyone with his sympathy. Maximum mark. Thank you for the nice experience. Andrea Luraghi
