Really fantastic week. We managed to stick to the program Fortunately thanks to the weather and I must say combined both the visit to beautiful bays and beaches and really lovely villages. Not knowing the areas, Francesco carefully guided us in the choice of destinations, given his in-depth knowledge of the area. Furthermore, although overall we did not find much wind, it was guaranteed that the sail would ALWAYS be open in search of the right "thrust", which is rare during the other weeks on a sailing boat. So highly recommend if you like sailing

The weather was not the best for the duration of the trip to Corsica (12-26 July 2025), to the point that we returned to Liguria two days earlier. On this aspect, certainly not foreseeable, nothing to say, apart from the displeasure for the objectively unfavorable situation. For the rest, also in light of the different experiences on the boat in the past, I was disappointed and honestly I would not recommend the experience. The crew (skipper and sailor), in my opinion, did not behave professionally: - the knowledge of the coasts was very approximate (for example, during one of the rare days of calm, we passed, by motor navigation, very close to the scenic cliffs of Porto, a Unesco site, without even knowing of their existence and therefore we did not see them); - sailing, when possible, was always a matter that "makes a struggle" (cit.)(it was more the sailor who sometimes managed to overcome the resistance of the skipper), not to mention the use of the tender (the engine was never mounted, used by oars only in Girolata by necessity); - many stretches of navigation, moreover motorized, were so far from the coasts that we could have been anywhere (and other sailboats sailed near the coasts, and not catamarans); - last to get up in the morning, without a shared organization at least for the current day; - the "beer" was the real and only priority... liters and liters of wine and beer left (and between the three guests, practically two of us did not drink, do the math ...); - collaboration nothing in any kind of matter (never seen the sailor, for example, wash his cup of coffee, while he occupied the sofas lying down hours and hours of both navigation and rest time, so much so that I thought that he could write an excellent review...). I could add other examples but I'll stop here. Probably the absence of the owner on board conditioned the behavior, leading them to a laxity that, honestly, I was very sorry about, also given the costs. For the purposes of these (which have risen much more than expected in the description of the cruise) and of the owner, do the math well first with everything that is included, excluded, that is on board, that you leave, that you bring back, because the final moment of the counts is another bad memory of this experience. Too bad because the sea, sailing and sharing beautiful moments in harmony, are and remain my only priorities.

I state that my partner and I could not leave because I had a mother in the hospital at the end of her life; I sent an email 4 days before departure to communicate the difficulty; in leaving; Unfortunately I found a lot of rigidity on the part of the Salisquare assistance service. I asked if they could kindly put the two places back up for sale and if anything get back only a share, they replied that it was not their sales policy and that they could not .. I specify that We had booked the holiday in February, we had not taken out insurance, but in any case just trying to meet us would not have been so difficult for them. Me He is very sorry. NOT to feel that they wanted to help me (mom is mom) we didn't feel like leaving.
