Francesco was replaced by Michele, it will be for too much wind and the conditions of the sea but the holiday was a bed and breakfast anchored in Anguilla: no beach of st Marteen view and not even of Anguilla.I had to organize holidays on land and snorkelling in the beaches (alone) with extra costs for cars and pasta on the beaches. Public shower on the ground at Sandy Ground... Back in St Marteen I discover that the most beautiful bays were teeming with sailboats and catamarans!!! So if there are extra costs for anchoring in Anguilla and stMarteen ok just specify it or increase the cost, but staying to float like a cap without moving is not a sailing holiday (I had specified that my only request was snorkelling) DO NOT BOOK IF IT IS NOT INDICATED THE ITINERARY even if only theoretical. I'm sorry because Michele is kind and cooks well, but the travel companion has catalyzed him a bit (and I don't know how reliable as a skipper help)It remains my worst holiday

Michele skippered this wonderful week of sailing the west coast of Martinique and I couldn't rate him highly enough. Each day started with the best coffee imaginable and then we sailed all day to suit the conditions. Michele is an expert in wind judgement and trimming the sails to suit. Every place we dropped anchor each evening had been considered and he was an expert at the best places to visit and have that essential end of the day beer! An excellent skipper and a charming boat - PERFETTO

Wonderful week! Unique places!! The skipper, such a Michele, was really professional and helpful, an exceptional person! Efficient and punctual, he lightly transmitted to us his passion for sailing! Recommended for everyone!! Francis and Agnes

SUPER FANTASTIC !!! Great Skipper with a great boat. Totally relax and exploring the island as best. Do not hesitate to enjoy this experience. THANKS.

Idyllic sailing trip! From relaxing with a book on the deck of this charming blue boat with a soft breeze blowing, to swimming in the clear turquoise blue tropical water and visiting the enchanting small villages and beaches. With captain Michele, we sailed along a group of dolphins, enjoyed many snorkling adventures (especially at the amazing ´la plage acquarium´, Anse d´Arlet') and saw numereous giant turtles and flying fishes. We explored scenic walking routes in the North with tropical forest and amazing colorful flowers in Saint Pierre and in the South, with the coastal path from St Anne to Les Salines alongside beaches and mangroves. Every sunset was magical, with a cold drink served!

Great sailing week. Michele was a great skipper and although there was no much wind he made everything possible to use the engine as little as possible. He was very easy going and made that week very enjoyable: wonderful beaches, unforgettable sunsets, amazing landscapes, nice villages and pleasant company.

A nightmare. The skipper was not the one expected, but such Michele, one who had taken the boat license only 3 years before, with very little experience. After splitting my nose in a panic situation, he could not foresee or face a strong storm: the boat almost overturned and the sail was destroyed. Me and the other person on board had to leave the cruise 3 days before the end, for total lack of safety on board. Before writing this negative feedback I received threats of complaint for "defamation" by the skipper Francesco. Think carefully before leaving. - - - RESPONSE OF THE SKIPPER - - - This girl together with her friend immediately behaved in a disrespectful and rude way. Thinking they were on a ClubMed they didn't even provide for the galley and the extra fuel costs. Indeed they decided, at the slightest fright due to a storm to leave the boat prematurely alluding to shortcomings of the skipper; falsehoods such as "destroyed sail" and others. Person in bad faith! She was also subsequently offered a free holiday to make up for the days lost from bad weather. This kind of people are better off not setting foot on the boat anymore because in addition to ruining the team spirit by pretending to have the comforts of a luxury hotel they have no idea what it means to sail, especially in the ocean.

Grandee Fra! Wonderful holiday!

I could not have imagined a holiday with a better skipper than the one I had: Francesco. Very good, one of the best in the environment, with the maximum experience in question of navigation (he crossed the Atlantic 2 times!). I felt safe at sea, even and especially when the weather conditions were adverse! If we add to safety and skill a delightful and nice person, I would say that a better holiday on a sailing boat I could not have expected. Thanks Fra!

110elode!!!! Countless boat holidays but this was the best, seriousness precision and professionalism and a great complicity! I recommend to everyone this holiday that made me feel like a guest and not a tourist!

Nice guy, he takes care of everything. A free soul. A real&serious skipper. Recommended! No frills with Hidra, but wonderful sailing!!

Serious, kind, reliable. A guarantee

Very professional skipper ready to adjust itinerary and attitude following guest exigences and mood. Safety and security at first, we spend a wonderful week on board with Francesco and Quina: present or discrete in an excellent balance. thanks!

Unforgettable week..... nice people, nice places, friends for life...

Francesco it's a dedicated, passionate and experienced skipper. He always tries to fulfill all your expectations, changing the itinerary on the way if it's necessary. His boat is safe and comfortable.

Professional skipper in every situation. It was a pleasure to cross a piece of the Atlantic with Francesco. He has always transmitted to the crew safety and his passion for the sea!

With Francesco we crossed a beautiful piece of the Mediterranean, sailing safely, with some unforgettable moments and taking advantage of the (little) wind as much as possible. Francesco welcomed us on board his home as a kind, genuine and caring host. The boat is comfortable and super equipped. And so we earthlings also felt like real navigators for a while! Beautiful experience.
