LAST MINUTE TO THE DISCOVERY OF DALMATIA

I think that one of the most complicated aspects in the life of a skipper, as well as the guide at the helm under the sun, the wind and the rain (and unfortunately we have taken a lot of rain!), is above all the ability to manage the relationship with the crew and I must say that Roberto and Patrizia were professional and, in my opinion extraordinary, in ENDURING, always keeping calm and kindness, a crew composed of some people who in several situations have turned out to be uneducated and rude. As for my experience I consider Roberto and Patrizia two very pleasant, discreet and kind people, (Patrizia then is a super cook!) The boat is beautiful, clean and well cared for both inside and outside. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to make a holiday of relaxation and the discovery of natural and unspoiled landscapes, for those who are looking for a completely different type of holiday I suggest to orient themselves rather on islands like Pag!

I did not like the obligation of full board from € 45 dropped to € 35 (€ 235 per person € 1175 of galley excluding drinking to eat pork fillet, lasagna and parmigiana seem really excessive to me) of course, the service of washing the dishes and setting I would have recognized but so it is really too much. 10€ per person for the exaggerated sheets, 50€ per week the sheets had to be new. The moorings, at our expense, rightly, were always chosen by the skipper and I never understood why always above the wind, even if reported several times. In the evening it was impossible to play cards. To embark wine and spirits was immediately a struggle, what could we do in the evening if not drink?!? And never anyone drunk. The rowing tender?!? We were forced to row even against the wind because you could not move the boat to the buoy closer to land or moor it at the pier. At 9 pm low music because we were annoying... We were on vacation to have fun but it was not!

Experience only 60% successful. Roberto skipper experienced but not inclined to meet the basic needs of 5 guests in their thirties. Good cuisine at times studied but not enough to justify the cost of extras, which turned out to be far higher than previously indicated. Poor attention to the basic hygiene rules, compatibly with the natural "constraints" of a boat holiday. Inattention aggravated by the covid-period. HEAVY NEGATIVE NOTE: the tender, initially declared to have an engine, did not have any. So, in a meteorologically not exciting week, we had to give up several trips and expose ourselves in spite of ourselves to emergency situations that have caused the morale of all the guests to collapse several times, basically abandoned to ourselves, being able to count only on our strength as rowers. Therefore, in such conditions experience not suitable for guests under 30 but not even for over 50. -------------------------------------------- SKIPPER ANSWER ------------------------------- Filippo, among your various arguments without any feedback, stands out the one on the lack of the tender engine, being clearly written that among the equipment of the boat the same is an optional to be requested and paid separately. But I agree on one thing: I am not and will never be a skipper suitable for managing companies of any age, whose only reason for vacation is to consume alcohol and spirits from early morning until late at night. For me, sailing is something else, sport and discovery of a dimension that I can't find in any happy hour.

Beautiful holiday in beautiful places, accompanied by Roberto skipper expert and great connoisseur of the most beautiful islands in the area. Hospitality and friendliness on board complete the picture of this experience to be recommended.

Well done Roberto! Expert in the sea and very pleasant company, he made us discover beautiful places and worked hard to make us feel really good. Unfortunately this week there was no wife who seems to be a superfine cook. We'll do it again next time!

Hospitality lavishly proposed with personal reservations and prohibitions on everything; more than paying guests, on board (he also lacked paying for the air shortly), it seemed like the personal holiday of the skipper and his wife; I would urge you to correctly indicate the route that is taken so that we do not then find ourselves touching a single stage instead of the three proposed and sold as a package. Moreover, it is inconceivable that at 9 am on Sunday morning in addition to not being ready even a coffee there was neither the skipper nor the one who is proposed as a hostess who, quietly had taken the only token x access to the bagli of the Marina; finally it is absurd that in a we a sails you leave the marina at the beauty of 11.28 is inconceivable!!! as well as stay three hours on Saturday morning, just outside the river stopped. The skipper is advised to comply with the program stipulated upstream, to sail touching the most panoramic points and to be more careful to be able to swim ------------------------ REPLICA OF THE SKIPPER -------------------------- Barbara we thank you for the comments published, which I believe serve to give even greater credibility and validity to all the feedback received to date. On the other hand, we are aware that not all people can be suitable for coexistence on board a boat and for sea life, accepting joys but also limitations. And the idea of associating a sailing cruise with a holiday "package" like Costa Cruises is really interesting.

Beautiful weekend in the Gulf of Trieste, despite the little wind Roberto and Patrizia with their hospitality and sympathy led us to discover the wonders of the Barcolana and the mare nostrum. Availability, organization and excellent delicacies on board Falcon! A 5-star weekend

Roberto is a very good, experienced and professional skipper. The boat is spacious, with attention to detail, and is kept with love by the owners. An extra star for Patrizia, who in addition to collaborating in the maneuvers provides with sympathy and skill to the kitchen, with truly surprising quality. Absolutely recommended

Beautiful holiday! in the name of simplicity, safety and true contact with the sea and nature! Wonderful as Roberto and Patrizia know how to guide the crew to experience the pleasure and beauty of life at sea. Gorgeous sailing and we saw dolphins! Experience to be repeated!!! Thank you all.

A truly amazing holiday. How can you think you have more than this? Me, my wife and our 3 daughters on the Falcon, a beautiful, comfortable and elegant sailboat, led by the fantastic Roberto, experienced skipper and excellent company. Sail in relaxation among the enchanting Kornati islands with breathtaking scenery waiting for the next meal prepared with care and imagination by the skilled hands of Patrizia who has made the Falcon also an excellent floating restaurant. Super highly recommended ??????????

I copy and paste Alberto F.'s review of August 2020. As for me, I can do the same, precise, identical review. in addition I add that I did the week on the boat with Roberto in August 2019 and 1000 characters are not enough to describe all the negative aspects of the holiday! Luckily the rest of the crew were our friends otherwise it would have been a nightmare! I just make a summary to be concise and clear. I think that to offer a service to unknown customers (of any age, any need, any expectations with respect to the sailing holiday) you must have some characteristics that Roberto and Patrizia DO NOT HAVE AT ALL: you must first be friendly, nice, proactive, correct, consistent, capable, and in the particular case of skipper on a sailboat (owned) you must be HOSPITABLE. Taking a holiday with Roberto and Patrizia means throwing away a lot of money, consuming your holidays and getting

What about this holiday? Skipper and hostess: superlative couple! Cuisine above all expectations, absolutely recommended! In addition, Roberto was up to the task in every condition, even unexpected and difficult. Our tip: book without hesitation so as not to miss this unique and winning combination. Good :) wind

Fantastic week with the team Patricia and Roberto. A lot of sailing and territory experience with Italian galley.

good energy, organization, professionalism. FALCON is a beautiful and super clean boat and the food served on board is always yummy!!!

Fantastic weekend, everything worked out for the best according to our needs. Roberto and Patrizia are the ideal travel companions for days on the boat! Roberto nice, professional, technical and very prepared. Patrizia very kind, welcoming and excellent cook!! Boat kept perfectly and very functional. During the 3 days on the boat we were always comfortable and had a great time. Absolutely experience to be repeated Thanks to Roberto and Patrizia for everything, but above all for the company Alberto

Fantastic weekend at the barcolana. Very well maintained boat, impeccable organization. Roberto is the skipper we would all like to meet, both for his "professional" skills and for his skills in human relationships. But I know I won't want to if I spend a few more words for Patty, second skipper without equal. Only those who have already had other experiences of this type will be able to understand me: no expenses to do, no pot to wash, no pasta to remedy, no coffee to prepare. Breakfast, lunch and dinner (high level) always prepared and served by her as it should. In short, I don't know about you, but for me it was the first time ever. And I'm not going to tell you what a pleasant surprise it was. This is not only a magnificent boat experience, but also a real holiday. I'll be back for sure

Roberto, the captain, always available and flexible to the needs of his passengers as much as possible, attentive to safety in navigation and weather conditions, his experience makes pleasant even technically difficult moments for many sailors. The boat is truly a jewel, comfortable, spacious and elegant, a rare elegance to be found in charters. The atmosphere is particularly pleasant thanks to the presence of Patrizia, Roberto's wife and skipper, who knows how to create that pleasant feeling of harmony between the crew. If you want to be operational at any time, from collaborating in preparing food to gaining experience in maneuvers you will have the opportunity, otherwise you will be served in everything. What they offer as food is really superb both in quantity and quality, never eaten so well on the boat, great value for money! If you are on their route, do not miss the opportunity to get to know them. Good wind and falchetta in the water and thank you for everything. A hug

Skipper&Marinaio=3+2=Robi&Patti=5, kind helpful and nice!! Positive holiday, at least I understood ke nn are from naked & raw crossing x the whole holiday, but alas from major PitStop x baths / explorations in different coves and "hybrid shores" seafaring .. what is not very feasible x - d 8h / day of navigation (-sail ++ engine) and the inconvenience engine in port 1 day .. In short, m I would have expected 2 different "tram-tram", one more touristy bays / bays countries (ex.koronati), the other more travel x the transfer in ita .. X the rest the boat is equipped with all the technological aids of support x1a comfortable navigation and Roberto knows how to sail very well. In addition, the culinary MASTERY of Patti, so his abundance to serve us table / courses / sparecchio, in spite of the exhausting activity as a sailor (and here -- x the capoccia ;-)) is a real PLUS of OneWayZaRA!! Where to improve: NN have an idea of your engine, NN is comforting.. transparency of the PLUS in pre-booking, NN on wu after booking.

A lot of experience at the service of guests! Roberto is a kind and very discreet person with whom it is a pleasure to face the cruise! The boat is really a jewel of great charm, perhaps too precious to live it with children. Highly recommended experience.

Found on the fly and carried by a good wind then because it was perfect: the skipper, the crew, the boat and the beautiful Dalmatia made this trip rewarding in all senses, including the palate, excellent cuisine.
