We completely agree with Aude. We would like to add that Vittorio did not give us any introduction to the places where we anchored the boat. Landings on land were made directly into the water, even when it would have been possible to do so from a pontoon or from a pontoon.

Vittorio is an excellent sailor, an excellent cook and his boat is very large, very clean, spacious and comfortable. However, communication is not his strong suit and we learned that the hard way. We would have worked out some details before the departure because we were very surprised to learn that he refused to do any night sailing. And this includes the longest crossings such as the one that consists of going around Guadeloupe or the one between Guadeloupe and Antigua. We barely did half of the planned itinerary: only Antigua and Barbuda when we had to go to St Kitts then Nevis and Montserrat (over 10 days it was supposed to be doable. This change of program led to a rather bad atmosphere within the group of customers who were all the more disappointed as on board there was not only another crew member but among the customers there were also people to ensure the 1/4 night ...

Christian is an anomalous skipper, Initially he appears a bit cold and detached, in reality he is only extremely professional and respectful of his guests, and then it takes little to integrate and become part of the group. At that point he takes you to the discovery of beaches and wonderful views that his experience in those areas has allowed him to find and know. Let Yourself be guided by Christian and you will not regret it. Also ask him for a good pizza that he can do very well.

We had 10 days of beautiful weather, ideal wind between 15 and 18 knots so perfect for the beautiful sailings we enjoyed! The skipper was good at taking advantage of the various wind directions and then deciding on the fastest route, always safely. From a technical/sailing point of view Riccardo is very prepared. He is also an excellent fisherman and cook! In addition, very importantly, he knows well the accesses to the ports and to the potential bays where to make anchorages for the night. On the information on ports and customs (timetables / costs, moorings / buoys, etc.) could instead improve. The catamaran is very comfortable, spacious, well equipped and well maintained; it allowed us a cruising comfort much superior to monohulls. I found myself very well with the other girl on board, an excellent adventure companion, despite the age difference. Overall I am very satisfied with how the cruise went! Happy Wind to all! ????
