review about Marmaglia Flotilla Sun & Fun Maddalena and Southern Corsica August 2019

10 / 10
Ho navigato tanto con Arturo e vi posso dire che non vi potrebbe capitare di meglio! È un lupo di mare, competente e disponibile verso l'equipaggio e gli altri skipper, non perde occasione per condividere la sua passione ed esperienza con leggerezza e simpatia rendendo la permanenza a bordo piacevole. Sei sempre sicuro di poter contare su un amico, un compagno di avventure. È uno skipper che sposa appieno la filosofia "mi casa es tu casa", cosa volere di più? Ciao comandante, alla prossima avventura!!

review about Flotilla 10-24 August Dodecanese August 2019

10 / 10
Andrea è stato molto gentile e professionale già in fase di descrizione della vacanza settimane prima di partire, aiutandomi a capire come sarebbe stata la mia prima vacanza in barca a vela. Per tutta la vacanza mi ha addirittura spiegato tante nozioni sulla vela e sulla navigazione. Sicuramente uno skipper validissimo. Lo consiglio!

Girvano non è semplicemente un ottimo skipper; Girvano è un maestro di navigazione, di windsurf, di sup, di cucina e....di vita! Grazie alla sua sapiente guida ho fatto il pieno di nuove esperienze e passato una settimana divertente e super emozionante!

review about Flotilla on the routes of Ulysses in Ionian Greece - 2nd week August 2019

10 / 10
Con la sua sigaretta rollata a mano...il suo guantino da velista imbruttito...un amore per il mare che trasuda da ogni poro...l’attenzione del perfezionista Un vero velista ma con animo gentile, pronto ad ascoltare i bisogni di tutti e a farsi in 4 per assecondarli; palesemente padrone della sua barca in ogni condizione; ad majora comandante

review about Flotilla Sardegna 2019, new encounters and fun - 5 boats August 2019

10 / 10
Vacanza indimenticabile. Assolutamente da rifare ... simpatia , divertimento, sicurezza. Purtroppo i 40 nodi di maestrale ci hanno costretto a cambiare rotta abbandonando l’idea della Corsica ma Abbiamo comunque visitato calette e spiagge meravigliose con acque turchesi e tranquille. Assolutamente consigliata !

review about Egadi Islands: sun and relaxation in the Mediterranean August 2019

10 / 10
Francesco è un uomo di esperienza, non solo in mare. Velista, chef, massaggiatore, maestro di kitesurf, viaggiatore e potrei continuare.... É in grado di mettere l'equipaggio a proprio agio e di leggere le esigenze del gruppo. Inoltre prova ad esaudire i desideri di tutti, sfruttando tutte le sue doti e le sue conoscenze sul posto. È una persona fantastica! Grazie Ciccio!

review about In the Pontine flotilla August 2019

10 / 10
Prima vacanza in barca a vela per me, e devo dire che mi sono trovata molto bene! Luca è uno skipper molto professionale, ci ha messo subito in grado di capire come è possibile godere della massima libertà in piena sicurezza! Ottimo cuoco, ci ha deliziato coi suoi manicaretti, ha sempre cercato di soddisfare le esigenze degli ospiti e ci ha insegnato anche qualche rudimento di vela. Grande!

5 reasons to choose a flotilla experience for your next holiday:

  • Flotillas are perfect for both those who travel alone and in groups: meet new people, share new experiences
  • The perfect atmosphere for a party - several boats moored together, a little music, perhaps a guitar, the sunset hitting the sea, everything needed for a beautiful evening.
  • Much more than a group holiday: during a flotilla holiday, water tribes are formed, made up of people who love the sea, and the beautiful life on a sailboat.
  • There is room for everyone: those who simply want to relax on a sailboat, those who like to cook, those who want to learn to sail - a flotilla experience allows everyone to find their place.
  • Your skipper is responsible for the organisation and safety, so that you can relax and have piece of mind about your holiday!
