Andrea è stato perfetto a 360’: ottimo coordinatore, ottimo accompagnatore, bellissima persona. Sempre attenta ma mai invadente, sempre presente, capace di ascoltare le esigenze di ognuno e mediare. La professionalità e l’entusiasmo sono sicuramente due doti che gli appartengono. Grande Andrea!

Prima volta in flottiglia....vacanza superlativa, gruppo superlativo, skipper più che superlativo! Certo i ritmi sono molto intensi, si dorme poco, pochi bagni perché essendo in molte barche i tempi di attracco sono spesso lunghi....ma una volta nella vita va fatta! 14 giorni di sapone marino, costumi e aperitivi come se non ci fosse un domani.

La vacanza mi è piaciuta moltissimo! Specifico però che il mio skipper non era Andrea ma Maurizio, comunque ho avuto modo di vedere Andrea al lavoro e mi ha dato un'ottima impressione, al pari del resto dello staff, anche nella gestione delle variazioni del programma causa moto ondoso troppo forte. È stata la mia prima vacanza in barca a vela e credo proprio che ne seguiranno altre! :-)
