We have been from a good that can not be explained! Beautiful ride, fantastic crew and Massimo was super! Kind, helpful, really nice, a pleasant companion for many chats and a skilled chef! Massimo, our Cap that we hope to meet again soon, has everything perfect! Hello Cap and hello Crew, to the next adventure!

Wonderful experience! Massimo was very welcoming and friendly. Nothing to report, just many thanks to him and my fellow adventurers!

Top! When we say MAN OF THE SEA, here.

I was lucky to have Massimo as skipper, he made everything seem easy, very competent (even in the kitchen) and being Bolognese like me helped me feel comfortable in my first time on a sailboat. I was also lucky for the group I found myself in and I agree with Annarita x negative notes

It was my first experience on a sailboat and the fact that I will want to do it again says it all. I was lucky: the group was fantastic and the skipper Massimo, a great sailing expert, led the boat with skill especially in adverse weather conditions. There were also negative notes, the only one that I would like to bring to attention concerns the presentation of the trip on the site: it is not explained that that is a rough program, or rather, it is specified that the itinerary could vary depending on the weather conditions and not that the skipper could decide to reduce the itinerary, because the tour would be too long in a week. The weather conditions to go to Corsica were adverse and this was a fact, however I believe that the presentation of the holiday should be more real . Also the day of Friday, is not very clear .... you could have returned even later than 17.30 and do another half day at sea ????

Massimo turned out to be a very experienced skipper, prepared and helpful. He was able to question himself in the first person to overcome various navigation inconveniences (first of all cleaning the boat on our arrival). A rough and frank sea wolf but I certainly can only keep his name in note for future navigations.

Massimo seemed to me a very prepared skipper, experienced, who tried to meet everyone's needs. So I can only give a great review!

Marco is really the top. He welcomed us with kindness and courtesy, he was able to advise us on the best solutions according to our needs. Technically very prepared, he knew how to make the most of the weather and sea conditions to make our experience comfortable and above all fun! Marco has also been able to involve us with historical explanations of the island's monuments enriched with details and curiosities. We also got to appreciate his culinary skills worthy of a real chef!! A special thanks also to Carlotta (the owner) who proved to be serious and very helpful.

I think Alessandro was very good, he knew how to manage emergencies without problems. I just think that the boat needs more maintenance to make Alessandro do his job without also being a worker, maintainer and mechanic!

Alessandro is a capable and experienced sailor. I recommend it especially for those who, like me, want to practice sailing. Patient, prepared and very exhaustive in explanations.

I would not like to express a judgment on Alessandro, who I believe has passed the examination of the crew albeit with the necessary observations, but rather on the cruise program which, in my opinion, should be modified in this way: - taking into account that between one cruise and another the boat must necessarily be clean, I consider the evening boarding at 6 pm to be meaningless, given that it is necessary to provide for the galley before the closure of the shops; - the arrival at the port of departure in the late afternoon, in fact constitutes the end of the cruise; the further useless night on board, in fact, prevents the cleaning of the boat and any maintenance; - boarding in the late morning would allow cleaning, thinking about the galley and departure in the early afternoon or half a day of extra navigation, rather than spending the first night in port; - in this way you would take away a night to the duration of the cruise, with a reduction in the cost of the same.-----------------------------------RESPONDING OF THE SKIPPER--------------------------------Ciao Lorenzo, if you had doubts about the time of embarkation or disembarkation it would have been better that you externalize them before buying the holiday. We have done nothing but respect the proposed programme which is, in our opinion, the best solution that has emerged from a decade of experience in this area.

The boat was in good condition and matching the descriptions. Too bad that at the start we were informed that some navigation tools did not work. This meant that the itinerary of the holiday was completely changed. Alessandro turned out to be a skipper attentive to safety, scrupulous, who tried as much as possible to remedy the problems of the holiday. However the itinerary we followed did not match the one booked and paid. This itinerary in fact appears difficult to achieve as it is proposed, resulting more a mirror for the larks than anything else. The tour of Elba, Capraia and Corsica in just 4 days is in fact almost impossible to do. Absolutely I would not redo the experience with the same owner as he has shown little seriousness and little professionalism, never even bothering to communicate the change of itinerary.--------------------------------RESPOND OF THE SKIPPER---------------------------Ciao Marco, I am sorry to read that your experience has not been positive, but I would like to make some clarifications. The instruments that had suffered a malfunction were, to enter into the merits, the external GPS and the autopilot. Although it is not mandatory, for our particular attention to safety, we decided to equip the boat with a double GPS, one external and one internal; due to a defective plug of the external display (still under warranty!!) this did not work. As soon as I noticed the fault, the competent technician was notified and intervened as soon as your cruise was over. The other tool that didn't work, as a result, was the autopilot. It is also not among the mandatory equipment, but even here we have chosen, exclusively for greater comfort, to mount one on board. Consider that many boats are happily devoid of it. Clearly neither one nor the other have in any way influenced the itinerary of your cruise, there was a working GPS on board, and the boat is governed quietly by being at the helm. I then invite you to reread more carefully the itinerary described: "Wednesday morning we will head to the Capraia that will stun us with its breathtaking colors and its timeless country. Depending on the weather, on Thursday we will then sail towards Macinaggio, a small and placid Corsican port a stone's throw from the "finger", or towards Elba "... In fact, I understand that after Capraia you headed towards Elba ... Although superfluous I find myself forced to emphasize that the sailboat is not a hydrofoil, so it has a cruising speed that prevents, physically, to do "the tour of Elba, Capraia and Corsica", which no one has, in fact, in any case advertised. Equally clear should be to those who choose a holiday of this type that we are not on a train, and that therefore the itinerary indicated, and in any case respected here, depends totally and in an essential way on the weather, and on the evaluation of this by the skipper, who has the skills, and experience, necessary to do so! We are all sailors with many miles and many years of this beautiful work behind us, perhaps you would have enjoyed your holiday more if you had expressed your doubts and perplexities or directly to the owners once the experience was over.

Alessandro was patient and competent, when he could he made us sail and always made us participate in the itinerary of the day justifying the decisions with the weather situation. Of good company and chatty leaves the "living spaces" to the crew, keeps the boat in good efficiency and makes the maneuvers participate giving confidence to the willing. I would gladly leave hoping for a little more ... wind! To remove the embarrassment of the skipper, I would suggest to SailSquare or the owner, to publish clearly, during confirmation, what includes the price and listing the example of extra costs such as ports and time / motor navigation.

Wise skipper. Thank you for the holiday is good wind

We had a very good time, Moreno proved to be very helpful and professional we hope to have the opportunity to sail together again! Thank you

MORENO REVIEW: Holiday overall maginifica, Moreno and Monica were fantastic, professional, kind, helpful and GREAT company! Safety is the main aspect of navigation. :) The holiday was organized by a sports association and NOT by the skipper, who did his job to the fullest. Unfortunately the stereo was broken. ORGANIZATION/SITE RENCENSIONE I found that the site does NOT have some important info for those like me who approach this world for the first time, so inform yourself: 1.The itinerary, for safety reasons, varies both according to the weather and the composition of the crew. 2.Often we sail by MOTOR for valid safety reasons or for the composition of the crew (the sea suffers, children, seniors ...) 3.La duration of the long crossings/speed of the boat allows you to choose the right itinerary 4.Find out about the age of the participants. to verify that you are looking for the same kind of relaxation/adventure experience.

First boat experience for us. Ideal holiday. Navigated in perfect safety with a capable and reliable control. Discreet and professional, but in moments of relaxation an excellent company and always ready and available to teach the seafaring life. A real sea wolf even more wolf if you know how to cook him a pasta with meat sauce ;-) Stephen & Lucy

Very experienced, safe, fun, helpful
