I 2 giorni a bordo della barca di Andrea sono stati meravigliosi sia per me che per i miei 7 colleghi norvegesi. Grande conoscitore delle Eolie, aveva sempre pronte un paio di opzioni da proporci, a seconda delle condizioni meteo e dei nostri interessi. Non ci ha mai imposto niente, assecondando le nostre richieste, e dandoci comunque suggerimenti preziosi sui migliori ristoranti o su dove trovare la migliore granita dell'arcipelago. A bordo e' sempre stato gentile, disponibile, chiacchierone e pronto a dare spiegazioni se qualcosa non era chiaro. Ci ha preparato il caffe' a colazione e anche cucinato il pesce al bbq! In 2 parole, Andrea e' stato fondamentale x la felice riuscita del nostro weekend!
Gianni è stato il nostro quinto compagno di viaggio. Siamo stati fortunati con il tempo e abbiamo trascorso quattro splendide giornate: bagni in acque cristalline, aperitivi, giri in gommone e tante chiacchiere e risate. Una menzione particolare per la barca: spaziosa e unica nel suo genere. Ciao Gianni, fai il bravo e non ti perdere gli occhiali! :) A presto, Paola, Marco, Sara e il Fratellone.
Prima volta in barca a vela ed esperienza più che positiva. Stefano e Carolina super disponibili e attenti alle nostre esigenze. Abbiamo trascorso un week end a bordo, ma le dimensioni della barca consentono tranquillamente di passarvi più giorni. Promossi a pieni voti!
Abbiamo trascorso 6 gg su questa fantastica barca " ecologica" , in compagnia di Francesco e di suo figlio Alejandro, piacevoli compagni di viaggio.
Stare su questa barca è un viaggio nel viaggio, ti riporta alla consapevolezza del mondo in cui viviamo e come lo viviamo: consiglio a tutti di provare l' esperienza con mente e cuori aperti.
Buon viaggio!
The vacation was simply amazing! We had an amazing time with Ettore sailing around north Sardinia all the way to Corsica. My girlfriend and I decided to sail with Ettore around La Maddalena archipelago, and we slept over at different spots for 4 nights. Nothing compares to waking up in isolated crystal blue water all for yourself. Very well organized, and clean boat. Ettore has over 30 years of experience and he knows every single spot around (including some secluded beaches). Ettore is a very fun and easy going person who takes care of his guests very well.
La vacanza e stata bellissima. Ettore si e rivelato essere uno skipper di grande esperienza, una persona simpatica e divertente. Consigliatissimo!!
We had a fantastic time with Dominikus on his beautiful vessel! We were involved in the trip planning & Jessica lovely has taken care of us. As being a sailing enthusiast by myself Dominikus has given me many tipps how to handle a ship of this size & I learned a lot. All around we had a lot of fun, especially our daughter fell in love with ‚Adolf‘ the dog and played with him nonstop. From sailing fun, over to anchoring in beautiful bays, snorkeling, SUP paddling, cooking together and laughing...those were the perfect days...we had a wonderful time ! <3 We‘ll be back soon! Greetings & hugs of the LL family

Week-end meraviglioso! Alessandro uno skipper gentile e attento. Accoglienza super! Anche il suo secondo davvero bravo. La barca accogliente, spaziosa e ben tenuta. Una breve vacanza piacevole e di volta in volta concordata. Consigliamo vivamente!!!
Gianpaolo è un ottimo skipper, navigare con lui dà sicurezza. Fa rispettare le regole , ma con gentilezza. Riesce a essere presente, ma mai invadente. È di compagnia, chiacchiera volentieri , e ci ha portato in posti molto belli. Bella e spaziosa la barca,
Insomma. Se cercate uno skipper in gamba , e una vacanza divertente e/o tranquilla , Gianpaolo fa al caso vostro.
Semaine inoubliable avec toute la famille sur le voilier de Charles très bien équipé, une vraie découverte pour nos enfants âgés de 14 à 23, le tout dans un cadre magnifique. Skipper très pro, avec beaucoup de sérénité et agréable à vivre, très expérimenté, toujours prêt à écouter nos souhaits et à nous dénicher de belles criques ! Chacun ayant le choix de participer ou non aux manoeuvres, voire même de prendre la barre, nous avons pu savourer des vacances très nature, chacun à son rythme, et gardons tous de très beaux moments en tête.
Che dire! Bellissima esperienza di vela alla scoperta del mare incontaminato dell'Isola di Capraia! Claudio e Nori sono persone che non si incontrano facilmente nella vita: solari, disponibili,ti mettono subito a tuo agio e ti fanno sentire dei veri "pirati"...alla conquista del mare! Week end perfetto ( Eolo poteva fare di più ma non ci lamentiamo)...siamo rimasti colpiti anche dalla bravura dello Chef Claudio, che ci ha coccolato con deliziose specialità! Tutto perfetto...peccato che il week end vola via! Grazie ...speriamo a presto! Buon Vento!
Giuseppe e Teresa sono stati molto simpatici e disponibili. Hanno organizzato la gita secondo le nostre richieste. La barca è comoda, pulita e tenuta molto bene. Da consigliare!
Siamo da poco ritornati da questo splendido viaggio e abbiamo ancora nel cuore e negli occhi i bellissimi luoghi che abbiamo visitato.
Un grazie enorme allo skipper Alessandro che ci ha condotti con maestria, simpatia e tanta pazienza nelle "perigliose" acque caraibiche, infestate da barracuda (purtroppo niente lampughe nè tonni). Se ci vorrai ancora a bordo con te, noi ci saremo!
Un grazie anche al co-skipper "zen", il pizzaiolo "in pectore", Carlo e alla sua compagna Mala che ci ha rallegrato con il suo stratripante buonumore e i suoi piatti luculliani.
Un grazie anche ai compagni di viaggio: Antonella, Carmen, Luisa, Renata, Danilo e Nerino, con cui abbiamo condiviso nel buonumore la vacanza.
Alla prossima. Valentina e Norberto
