review about From Rhodes to Kos. The fantastic South Dodecanese August 2022

10 / 10

The holiday with Alessandro was fantastic. He is a very quiet skipper in the management of the boat, super prepared, he knows very well the south of the Dodecanese and in general the Aegean Sea that has been sailing for more than 7 years. This meant that we enjoyed the islands to the fullest despite the changes in program, for our safety, due to an incoming thunderstorm. With his joy he was able to transmit passion and advice, accompanying us around even by land and taking us to characteristic taverns (balcony in Nisyros overlooking the crater) where it was possible to taste excellent dishes. He gave us wise knowledge on the use of the pressure cooker and excellent risotto with rosemary and pepper. His passion for sailing reigned on board and thanks to stories of his experience, sailing and explanations to every little curiosity, he made everything more magical. Thank you Captain Ale!!

review about From Rhodes to Kos. The fantastic South Dodecanese August 2022

10 / 10

Alessandro is an experienced and attentive skipper. It instills confidence and is available to evaluate the itineraries together. If this is not possible, he is available to argue the reason for the choices or variations of the itinerary that are necessary according to the conditions, for the best success of the holiday. And then... finally a sailboat where the sails have really hoisted! Few frills, Alessandro is direct, jovial and honest. In my case, and I think I can say that for the rest of the crew, Alessandro did more than expected. This is on board, showing himself very collaborative (for example in the kitchen) and explaining / showing us with patience various things of the management of the boat, and on land giving us tips (always right) on what it was possible to see in the time available. In short, just a nice holiday that perhaps an extra roadstead, if it had been possible, would have made perfect. Thank you very much Alessandro, good wind!

It was an exciting experience to visit the south of the Dodecanese with Alexander. He was a great chef, a fantastic skipper and a great travel companion. He knew how to best consider all our requests (from specific islands and bays to wild bays) and knew how to be flexible and caring with the itinerary when we ran into thunderstorms and bad weather. Thank you Alessandro for your simple but delicious rosemary risotto, for your stories, for using sailing, for getting help in the ports and during the trip, for giving us advice and making us fall in love with Nisyros. We felt like we were in the family. We hope to see you again in other marine adventures!

review about From Aegina to the fantastic islands of Argolic, Methana and Hydra May 2022

10 / 10

Alessandro is a competent skipper pleasant jovial and safe, he knows how to put people at ease and does not hesitate to share his favorite area which is the sea and navigation. We had a great stay with him and highly recommend him. In addition, he perfectly masters Italian cuisine and does not hesitate to share his recipes. A single black spot..... he doesn't like Greek hummus..... Laughing out loud

review about From Kos to Paros, the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades July 2021

10 / 10

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!

review about Milos, Kimolos, Poliegos, Sifnos and Folegandros the perfect Cyclades ..... August 2020

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!

review about  Milos, Kimolos, Poliegos, Sifnos and Folegandros the perfect Cyclades ..... September 2019

10 / 10

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!

review about From Paros to Milos, the best of Cycladic Greece August 2019

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!

review about From Kos to Rhodes, the most beautiful islands in the South Dodecanese August 2019

10 / 10

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!

review about From Martinique to the Grenadines and Tobago Cays. a warm winter January 2019

10 / 10

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
