We had an amazing experience, one week sailing from Kos to Paros and passing by some beautiful islands of Dodecanese and Cyclades. Alessandro is a great skipper, he is a man of the sea. Even with 30+ knots, we felt safe and we really enjoyed the trip. With Alessandro and the rest of the crew we had a lot of fun, we were so lucky to meet amazing people that made the experience fantastic. Super suggested!
Alessandro is much more than a skipper.. he is a man with a big heart, able to create a solid group with people who do not know each other and who, perhaps, in everyday life would not attend .. attentive to details and everyone's needs, good in the kitchen, great connoisseur of the Greek islands. skilled in making you love the experience of a week on a sailboat, which in my case was the first .. all seasoned with many years of experience in navigation, which is perceptible from day one and that makes you feel inevitably safe .. Thanks Alessandro, as I have already told you ours was not a "goodbye", but only a "goodbye"..
More than a holiday, a real experience.
Alessandro was a wonderful and helpful captain, decisive when needed, very competent and able to instill security in every situation, excellent chef, of great company but also very discreet.
With the children he was kind and patient.
For most of us it was the first boat experience and it was just as we expected: bays and coves to take your breath away, wind and silence when we went sailing, sunsets and aperitifs, dinners under the stars, baths at 7 am, incredible sunrises ... we experienced the sea without limits.
The children (6 and 7 years old) were little sailors always safe and still carry this wonderful experience in their hearts. We close with a sentence that came out during the navigation: "The Perfect Holiday? The one on a Sailing Boat!".
Thanks Alessandro and see you soon!
With Ale you are in very good hands. Having fun is a must on holiday but the forecasts must be kept under constant observation and in this Ale was very good at avoiding a nightmare return with wind at 45-50 knots.
Instead of being outside arguing with the waves, when the anomaly arrived we were already safe with a beer in hand!
From these reasoned choices we can see the true mastery of a skipper.
Thanks Ale!
Premise: exclusive boat for a holiday with children (2 families with 4 children from 5 to 7 years)).
Sandro made adults discover the Greek islands and children the love for sailing.
Experienced skipper, he has always given us safety even with challenging weather conditions, but at the same time of great company, helpful, great cook and super patient with the children ... ;)
Thank you for everything, unforgettable holiday!
I 'm... with full connections I can give worthy review!
The week started uphill due to small communication problems... on arrival in Kos we found out that we were two boats and that our skipper would be Carlo and not Alessandro. All this turned out to be a change that brought endless extra points to the holiday!! The two boats and the two crews sailed together, Alessandro and Carlo are prepared skippers, nice and really helpful! The group was a surprise and Mala, Carlo's girlfriend helped to give a special address to the various refreshments and contributed to the decidedly festive atmosphere thanks to her innate sympathy.
Nice everything. Really. Only flaw.... it's over!
Perfect holiday! Thanks to Alessandro who with lightness availability and joy led the crew to discover beautiful and wild places.
Until next time... this is my life!!!
We have recently returned from this wonderful journey and we still have in our hearts and eyes the beautiful places we have visited.
A huge thank you to the skipper Alessandro who led us with skill, sympathy and a lot of patience in the "perilous" Caribbean waters, infested with barracuda (unfortunately no lampughe or tuna). If you still want us on board with you, we will be there!
Thanks also to the co-skipper "zen", the pizza maker "in pectore", Carlo and his partner Mala who cheered us up with his extravagant good humor and his lucullian dishes.
Thanks also to the travel companions: Antonella, Carmen, Luisa, Renata, Danilo and Nerino, with whom we shared the holiday in a good mood.
Until next time. Valentina and Norberto
I was, out of 9 people present the only French and my trip went very well.
Alessandro made me feel comfortable, we communicated in English, and his good mood did the rest.
fantastic week in the company of an exceptional skipper! Alessandro was very good at putting the whole crew in tune. In addition to being a very competent skipper is a man with a big heart !?
He did everything to please us and make us feel good! I can't wait to redo a holiday with him!!! I would have so many other things to write... that the space nin would be enough!! Thanks for everything Ale!!
Experience beautiful fantastic travel companions and passionate, helpful and knowledgeable skipper. Really beautiful Greek islands. To be repeated. Thanks Alessandro, Pepe excellent cook and crew all
It was my first long experience on the boat and it couldn't be better. Alessandro was a really good commander as well as being a great travel companion. His safety made night sailing a wonderful experience. We sailed a lot and saw incredibly beautiful places. I can only say thank you! Really I have seen few people put so much heart in front of everything with people ceh did not know at all and for a whole week. experience to be repeated for sure!
Alessandro is undoubtedly an excellent skipper, a real sea wolf! He knows his boat and the places where he sails very well and this made us immediately willing to rely on him totally.
It is not easy to decide to spend a week in such a small space with strangers and yet we would do it again immediately!
We learned so much, saw beautiful places and laughed all together!
Thank you Alessandro, Thank you Pepe and Thank you Crew, it was a wonderful experience, we hope to see you again soon!

Alessandro is super competent, professional and attentive to the well-being of all, He knows the islands, coves, landings, bays, archipelagos, unusual corners, alternates marinas and roadsteads, takes care of the journey with balance between the desires of the crew and the need for navigation. Great holiday, nice mood, I would immediately get back on board!
Human and technical skills satisfy the whole crew. To me who love sailing he taught, delegated and allowed the practice, so I pay tribute to him the highest esteem.
Alessandro is an experienced skipper, he knows Greece perfectly and knows exactly how to find small corners of paradise. In addition to this, he always manages to put everyone at ease and infect others with his sympathy and spontaneity. It was a very beautiful experience, full of different emotions and situations, sometimes unexpected but always wonderful. Thanks, then, to Alessandro and the crew!
Alessandro has been able to give us the best of an itinerary already extraordinary by nature, leading us to wonderful places, between solitary coves and beautiful ports. His sympathy is contagious, his great availability and patience have helped to make the holiday even more enjoyable. I am sure that I will travel with him again. Highly recommended!
