review about Grenadines on a sailing boat with Skipper and Hostess among the pearls of the Caribbean - SUPER LAST MINUTE DISCOUNT January 2020
Sail fast, Live slow!
53 feet boat well updated with new sails and modern equipment without loosing the cachet of a vintage boat with tek-dek, etc. Designed to feel like home, all comforts on board, even TV and AC if it's what you're into and according to your budget. My bed was comfortable. If a couple, I would ask the master bedroom. With real shower and space that I never seen before in a sailing boat. We got an average of 8/9 knots of speed on the first day with picks of 12 knots!
Great destinations. Beautiful spots. Clear waters full of fish and turtles. He delivers according whatever you are into and fixes whatever missing on board. Good host, Italian flair, recently reconverted in the Caribbeans, passionated, helpful and basic cooking. Does the best barracuda ceviche! Ask him to saber the Champagne ;)
Check prices and what services are incl or not before booking, as with different languages, miscommunications happen. Also about moorings prices w service.
Arrivée á bon port!

review about CARIBBEAN MARTINIQUE - On a sailing boat with a private skipper ... what a splendor! November 2019
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.

review about Learning and relaxation in the Grenadines! January 2019
Semaine paradisiaque dans les Grenadines. Ce voilier est un bateau très performant qui permet de combiner plaisir de navigation et apprentissage. Hervé prend le temps d'expliquer chaque manoeuvre et répond à toutes les questions. Il est également bon cuisinier ! Il y avait une très bonne entente entre les différents équipiers, ambiance joviale sur le bord et mouillages exceptionnels.

review about What have you plan for New Year Eve? Get on board and enjoy the Caribbean December 2018
J’ai passé une superbe semaine à bord du Proteo pour débuter cette nouvelle année.
L’accueil et l’hospitalité combinés de Anna et Alfonso sont très appréciables
Une semaine de tranquillité à profiter de la vie à bord animée par Anna, de la vie sur la mer et à tous vents skippé par Alfonso, avec la découverte de l’environnement terrestre des îles et de leurs habitants.
En résumé prêt à repartir sur Proteo
Buen vento e ci vediamo presto

review about Welcome to Paradise! New Year's Eve in Catamaran in the Grenadines December 2018
Che dire, semplicemente fantastico! Personaggio stravagante, forse la puntualità e la precisione non sono proprio il suo forte, ma l'energia e la passione per il suo lavoro sono davvero strabilianti. I suoi occhi s'illuminano quando ti spiega qualche dettaglio tecnico o t'insegna qualche manovra. E gli piace festeggiare, dunque via libera a serate in compagnia a base di rum e tante risate! Molto preparato sia nel campo velico che doganale, buon conoscitore delle isole, è anche un buon cuoco e balla la salsa. Per i maschietti: fategli delle domande tecniche e lui sarà felice! Per le femminucce: fategli un pasito de salsa e lui perderà la testa! Bravo Rick, alla prossima!

review about New Year's Eve 2017: Caribbean mood on! December 2016
I can't believe I didn't write a review after my amazing time with Riccardo and Guilia in the Caribbean. It was perfect and I quickly felt relaxed and like I was on an adventure with old established friends. The food was amazing and although Guilia may not have the many years of experience at sea like Riccardo, she does great judgement, skill and confidence. We laughed and talked and decided on all the small route decisions together. I felt very welcome and cared for and of course the backdrop of the Grenadines was spectacular too.

review about Dreamy holiday at the Caribbean February 2018
..sono queste le vacanze che preferisco... alla scoperta di luoghi incantati e persone... se poi al timone vi e’ Una persona che sa infondere sicurezza e tranquillità ed anche nelle situazioni più ‘movimentate’ sa mantenere sangue freddo, la vacanza diventa un’esperienza incancellabile....
Veleggiare assaporando i silenzi che ti scavano dentro, mossi dalle onde e dal rumore del vento sono esperienze che puoi condividere con poche persone, perché solo a pochissimi permette di scoprire il tuo ed il il suo mondo ... grazie, davvero....
a parte la balena, skipper hai mantenuto tutte le promesse (baie da cartolina, tartarughe, etc ????) ... connubio skipper&hostess da 10+ !!!!
Alle prossime esperienze .... belle come le onde del mare

review about Martinique, Le Grenadines, Tobago cays and return. January to the heat January 2018
Alessandro lo skipper ideale per una vacanza in barca .
La sua professionalità nel gestire la barca mi ha dato sicurezza. Le sue decisioni sono sempre state ponderate e discusse dal gruppo. Una persona divertente allegra e un grande cuoco.. durante la navigazione ha pescato diversi pesci (tonno, barracuda, ecc )cucinandoli con l aiuto di una simpatica hostess Priscilla hanno reso le nostre giornate in barca piacevoli spensierate e con scenari di baie e spiagge indimenticabili. Rendeva ogni giorno diverso dall'altro.
Un aspetto negativo ? si c è .. nonostante soffro di mal di mare ed è stata la mia prima esperienza in barca non potrò fare a meno di scegliere una altra vacanza in catamarano ... inoltre per chi ha voglia di vedere tante isole e di tuffarsi in tante acque dal blu inteso al celeste acquamarina con spiagge da sabbia nera a bianca incontrando tartarughe marine pesci colorati e vegetazione intensa con abitanti pronti a darti aragoste e frutta ....CARAIBIIII

review about Caribbean Cruise: Feel the Scent of Freedom! December 2017
Nonostante il ritardo della barca, impegnata nella traversata atlantica, e la compagnia solo maschile, è stata un'esperienza mitica. Christian è uno skipper esperto, disponibile e dotato di rara gentilezza. Ha il pregio di sorridere sempre e di riuscire a rendere leggeri i momenti in cui ci sono delle piccole problematiche. Conosce bene i posti in cui si reca e spesso anche le persone del luogo. Oltre a visitare luoghi e spiagge meravigliose, un pomeriggio ci siamo avventurati nella ricerca di noci di cocco, abbiamo creato dal nulla degli strumenti con ciò che si trovava sulla spiaggia, è stato molto divertente. Consiglio a tutti una vacanza in barca con lui! :)

review about New Year's Eve in the Caribbean: sailboat between luxury and comfort December 2016
Ci siamo trovati immediatamente a nostro agio con Orio, traversata atlantica alle spalle e un'esperienza quadriennale ai Caraibi, e con la sua compagna Daniela, entrambi molto preparati e appassionati del mare. Imbarcazione molto confortevole,pulitissima,la navigazione è stata veloce e sicura. Generatore eolico e solare non ci hanno mai fatto mancare i servizi di bordo, frigo sempre al massimo.La maggior parte della navigazione si è svolta a vela, giacché il vento non mancava mai. Bellissime le isole visitate. Orio ha organizzato anche splendide gite all'interno, alle cascate, alle acque e fanghi termali, ai mercatini locali.
Abbiamo pernottato in diverse rade, sia alla boa, sia all'ancora e talvolta nei marina.
Abbiamo quasi sempre pranzato a bordo, ottima la cucina casalinga di Daniela, fantasiosa cuoca, e di Orio, espertissimo nella preparazione del pesce appena pescato da lui in gustosissime tartare e grigliate sul barbecue di bordo. Un'esperienza indimenticabile che ripeteremo.

review about New Year's eve Flottilla in the Caribbean...on a catamaran! - 2 December 2015
Quarta vacanza con Alessandro, quarto successo. Oltre che un grande skipper, un grande organizzatore di vacanze per mare. Doppio capodanno, doppio spumante, doppio bagno! Una esperienza bellissima anche grazie a tutto l'equipaggio spassosissimo. Di più non posso dire perchè... quel che accade in barca, rimane in barca.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) is a paradisiacal archipelago of nine islands. The Grenadines are located in the south of the Caribbean Sea. The islands combine a warm climate with turquoise waters and a rich natural environment. Each of the Grenadines islands have a unique identity.

Kingstown is the capital city of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The town plays home to one of the oldest Botanical Gardens in the world and from the town’s Fort Charlotte brilliant panoramic views can be seen. St. Vincent is a lush volcanic, with a mountainous landscape dotted with valleys and creaks. The shoreline of the east coast is rugged and rocky, whilst the shoreline to the west is home to breathtaking black sand beaches. To the north, the volcano of La Soufrière sits at 1219 meters above sea level. The second largest island of Bequia is a bright spark of atmosphere and warmth. Its maritime history is ever present, with most of the islands inhabitants in some way working as or with the fishermen or boating in some capacity. Here, there are a number of stunning beaches, however, arguably some of the most stunning seabeds. Diving and snorkeling is recommended along Elizabeth Harbor and off Princess Margaret Beach. Together with Cape Town and Tobago Cays, Bequia is a must stop are for keen divers, snorkelers or any general admirers of nature!
