Brief description of the holiday

We will sail in the inland sea between the Lefkas coast, Ithaca , Kastos and Kalamos , Meganisi kefalonia, in an area that will allow us to explore bays, islands and landscapes without facing long navigations and with the certainty of always finding our place where to spend the days of sea or a tavern for dinner or a bay to spend the night.

The cyclades43.4 boat has 4 double cabins and the dinette will not be used as a bed, more comfort for everyone ;).
In addition, each cabin is equipped with 220 current for cell and pc recharging.

I am a federal instructor so whoever wants to support me in navigation and increase his skills will be more than welcome !!
In addition to the excellent tender for landings and embarkations at anchor, a sup for coastal excursions and an assortment of masks and fins will be available!

NB: For large groups we have the possibility to combine two boats and sail in a flotilla with Giuseppe P. - click here to see his profile

First sailing experience and it was perfect!! Francesco is very prepared and allows you to make an authentic experience also recommending the best taverns to eat. Thank you Francesco for this unforgettable trip and full of beautiful memories????

Beautiful week aboard Saketa. Francesco is an extraordinary captain, a man who has the sea and sailing in his heart who dispenses excellent advice on taverns and places to enjoy the sunset. Available and attentive at sea, he has excellent musical tastes! We discovered wonderful places and colors, the Ionian Islands are really beautiful and perfect for those who love a holiday of natural beauty and crystal clear waters.

Super sailing holiday! Francesco is an excellent skipper: nice, expert in navigation, knows the Greek islands very well and not least, he is waiting for safety. The boat is very comfortable, spacious and does not lack any kind of comfort. All this together with the travel companions known on board and the landscapes of Greece have made the holiday really relaxing and pleasant! To be repeated for sure :)

Fantastic holiday. The Saketa is a really cozy boat. And Francis a great one! I spent seven really nice days in which I just pulled the plug. I thank my travel companions (known only at the time of leaving) and the skipper, quiet, helpful and professional at all times. I recommend this holiday and I hope to be able to repeat it as soon as possible.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sailing holiday made last September in the Ionian Islands. Francesco is a true professional, he always has the situation under control I immediately felt safe on board. The boat is kept very clean and nothing is missing. The cabins are spacious and comfortable. Francesco is a great host and welcomed me and the other cruise participants with extreme sympathy and made us feel comfortable. In a few minutes I felt at home and in the holiday mood. The incredible feeling was to feel in the company of a group of friends even though we were seeing each other for the first time¹ . The sea the sun the beauty of the places did the rest. My experience has been from 10 ... and I can't wait to repeat the experience. Thanks Francesco .

Stop here and book this holiday! Beautiful experience, you will visit amazing places and bathe in beautiful waters! Francesco is a real sea wolf, very safe in navigation and also always available with everyone! The boat is very comfortable! Grande France' !!

Francesco is worth the trip! He is not only a skipper of great experience, reliable and passionate about sailing and sea, but also a great travel companion available, fun and friendly! With him, in complete safety, you have the opportunity to discover islands, coves, fantastic fjords and incredible sea, have a party at sunset, visit picturesque villages and taste the local cuisine. Accomplice also an exceptional group was an unforgettable holiday! Super recommended!

We left in 4 and it was the first boat experience for us. The skipper Franco allowed us to experience the boat trip in a very balanced way: fun, exploration and relaxation were never lacking. He was always available to accommodate our requests and suggestions as well as extremely flexible. We also had a great time with the other people on board, kind and cooperative. Surely thanks to Francesco we have discovered a wonderful way to travel and we will repeat the experience. I hope to return soon to travel with Franco! Thank you Captain!

Visiting Greece through the eyes of Francis means enjoying every little secret and detail that the whole of the islands covers. his availability and experience makes his houseboat, welcoming from every point of view. I had already had other experiences on the boat, but surely he remains the TOP of the captains in many respects. This week as a whole has certainly enriched my heart.

Our family of four (2 adults and two children aged 8 and 10) have just finished an amazing 14-day sailing trip with Francesco. We visited so many beautiful islands, coves and ports including Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Ithica, Lefkada, Kalamos, and Kastos. Francesco was a brilliant captain and we feel so grateful to have selected him. He was wonderful with our children, very relaxed whilst being extremely conscious of safety, and went out of his way to ensure that we had a well-balanced holiday that included sleeping in secluded bays, visiting charming fishing villages, eating in some wonderful tavernas and relaxing as a family. We would highly recommend Francesco for your Greek sailing adventure!

Nice ride, nice sea, nice boat, good Francesco. The captain loves the sea and shares his passion and experience with others. Together with him you will decide the itinerary, whether to sail wind permitting, sleep in the harbor or in the port, eat on a boat or in the tavern. in any case he will advise you for the best. Thank you Francesco for the nice holiday.

Beautiful week of unspoiled nature, navigation and relaxation, as scheduled. Nights at anchor, baths at dawn ..... what more could you want? Thanks Francesco!

Francesco is a very professionnal skipper, serious, discret but with great sense of humour, and carefull about the security of the passengers. We had a great time and enjoyed a lot every places he made us discover. He’s enthousiastic about teaching us sailing, and we learned a lot. He knows also every good tavernas of the region, we spent great days with him. Don’t hesitate, go go go!

Francesco is a fantastic captain and a truly wonderful person. He made us feel at home on the boat, took care of the safety elements with precision and good judgment and made sure there was always an inclusive environment to decide on destinations and activities each day. He has expert knowledge of the local areas and is a local celebrity at the best tavernas! He really has a skill at creating a relaxing and fun environment - always ready to share some humour and great music as well. We saw the best of the Greek islands - incredibly beautiful places and really enjoyed learning to sail a bit too under his expert instruction. Would highly highly recommend and we will certainly be back.

everything was perfect, Francesco is an experienced skipper, I will definitely return

Wonderful week between sparkling bays, isolated bays, taverns reachable only by boat, marinas at sunset. Francesco knows the Ionian islands, checks the weather punctually, knows where to moor safely in every situation, the first fundamental characteristic of a skipper. We felt at home, despite being guests: Francesco is kind, welcoming, in a good mood, and seeks mediation between the different desires of the crew, even among "perfect strangers"... What a nostalgia for aperitifs with Venetian Prosecco, nuclear physics and Apulian taralli!! Even the pace of boat trips counts: with Francesco the mood is very relaxed, but you do not miss a single opportunity to visit at least two / three spots a day, different, but close to each other, another super advantage of this archipelago. There was no lack of sports sailing, upwind and transverse. Comfortable and spacious boat, ideal in 6+ skipper. Word of one who is on her 10th charter: to be repeated absolutely!

It was a wonderful experience the skipper is competent, attentive to the needs of the crew, deep connoisseur of the areas where the cruise took place. We managed to see coves bays and lovely villages. We anchored in spectacular bays and dived upon waking up in clear and pristine waters where we could swim with mask and fins and observe the seabed and fish. The boat is definitely in excellent condition and the skipper leads it safely trying to involve the crew in the maneuvers. When the wind allows it, the mainsail is straightened, the jib is and sailing with great satisfaction of the sailors on board. Even among fellow cruisers we amalgamated and adapted and a collaborative and nice group was created, a great lover of prosecco.

Skipper of considerable experience. Safety, crystal clear sea, enchanted villages, dream bays... these were the keywords of our holiday! The skipper Francesco knows this sea, its winds and is always patient in every situation, even in providing explanations on navigation as well as a bit of history on the magnificent landscapes in which he took us! The boat is well maintained, comfortable and spacious, sheets included and there are fins and masks for everyone! Francesco depending on the wind opens the sails very willingly involving the crew who want it in sailing maneuvers, beautiful sailing at 6/7 knots with the engine off! I recommend Francesco to those who want to see pristine places, unique bays and crystal clear sea always in complete safety! I appreciated the knowledge of beautiful bays where to sleep, as well as fabulous villages reachable only by boat where mass tourism has not yet arrived! Thanks Francesco, we will see you soon!

Francesco is a skipper of enormous experience who will make you sail in complete safety, knows every inch of the Ionian islands and will make you live authentic experiences that are not at all obvious. His beautiful boat is in perfect condition equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and fun holiday, really nothing is missing.

This was an unforgettable holiday for me! Francesco gave my heart, beautiful and hidden bays, sunsets of fire and cozy marinas, and then again shooting stars and silences made of waves and wind. Sailing with Francesco, makes you feel safe even in the open sea! I recommend two weeks to those who really want to go home with the sea inside!! And with lots more laughs! Thanks Francesco! Good Wind !
