WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN GREECE
Sun and wind are guaranteed all summer. Only the Aegean Sea guarantees fantastic weather conditions and deserted beaches that will give you the perennial feeling of visiting unexplored places. A perfect mix of nature and worldliness in which you will enjoy the luxury of diving into a crystal clear and pristine sea in mid-August, dine in typical restaurants and see the sunrise after a night of barefoot dancing.

During the cruise you will have the opportunity to visit beautiful bays, innumerable local and suggestive coasts. We are sure you will not want to get off your boat anymore and you will not want to leave your crew anymore because ABSOLUTE EASY can not be described and can not be forgotten.

One of the most beautiful holidays of my life. Amazing location, brand new catamaran, fantastic crew, captain prepared and present.
I suggest everyone to do this experience (Catamaran to the Caribbean) at least once in a lifetime.. then let's see who can stop ????
Super holiday above expectations! It was my first boat holiday and I must say that everything was perfect. Skipper absolutely prepared, harmony with the crew right away, crazy places, lots of fun and relaxation! Maybe the first navigation a bit long, but it was worth it and was rewarded by the rest of the holiday. What can I say, to be repeated on other destinations!
Top holiday!
Balanced itinerary with a few days of longer navigation but most are short trips that allow you to see different landscapes and live in full Caribbean style.
The skipper as well as flotilla leader super prepared and attentive in the management of the crew and the fleet.
The crew was nice and fun from the beginning.
Immediately close-knit, practically like a family.
Highly recommend to everyone!
Paradise!
Great choice the trip was very nice the company that was a pleasant holiday The only note a bit 'negative the trips quite long, for the rest it was all a pleasant discovery
Giammy at the helm is a guarantee of safety and even in this wonderful holiday he was the perfect Captain: prepared, fun, available, ready to satisfy our desires always respecting the safety of all. On the top, I recognize the great merit of having put together a crew that immediately was close-knit and in perfect harmony. During a holiday of this type the boat becomes your world and having like-minded people around makes the difference.
Excellent organization, nice itinerary and atmosphere. My luck a crew of wonderful people with whom I would also blame tomorrow, but only and only if ... captained by our Francesco Passalacqua, skipper of great experience who accompanied us on a journey of friendship and fun to which I give 10 as a vote ... with the heart.
MICHELA ASCIONE
I must congratulate Andrea, because he managed every single situation to the fullest, he pampered every single person of the crew, worrying about the state of these same, not missing for even a moment the serenity and smile, which in my opinion, are fundamental for such an experience.
Experience in navigation, nothing to say, in addition to the undoubted experience, has transmitted a security that, especially for those like me who are at the first experience, is fundamental.
Congratulations.
Of course you'll have to put up with me next time too!
First experience in Flotillas.
Dynamic and fun environment, perfect for enjoying sea, sailing and new friends.
Spectacular crew and skipper (Francesco Passalacqua) mythical.
Experience to be repeated absolutely.
Absolutely fantastic holiday. Great organization, perfect mix of sea, navigation and fun! Skippers all very competent and focused on making the experience unforgettable for everyone. You made it happen!!! Thank you.
Fantastic holiday, definitely to be repeated! Great organization, lots of fun and super competent skipper! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to disconnect from the daily routine to live an unforgettable experience between sea, nature and top company! You are number one!
A holiday born without thinking about it, with a great desire for carefreeness, the result was above expectations. Female crew very complicit among them, a spectacular skipper, they allowed laughter and emotions that I will remember over time!! Good wind
For me it was the first experience in the cabin and I can only say: AMAZING! saltiness on 24 hours a day, only smiles, new friendships, great and well-prepared skippers who gave me a great sense of team, crystal clear waters, beach parties at sunset, very detailed organization to ensure pure fun, wild nature, exciting departures at dawn. In short, absolutely to be redone, keep it up, you are mythical!
First experience in flotilla.. Superb! Wonderful itinerary, wonderful travel companions and the number one skipper, Francesco Passalacqua!! He allowed us to visit pristine coves, to sail during the crossings and he always made himself very reliable and responsible in the management of the boat. With him we always felt safe! His sympathy and his great desire to entertain us was the setting for an unforgettable holiday! Special thanks to my wonderful crewmates, Michela, Paolo, Silvia, Dino, Valentina, Lorenzo, Luigi, to all the wonderful boys and girls of the whole flotilla, really beautiful, and of course to our unique and irreplaceable Francesco!
Everything perfect, an unforgettable holiday by the sea, joy and beautiful people. Highly recommended for those who love the sea and want to have fun. Definitely to be redone.
If you've never had a boat vacation you do not have to worry. No experience is required and the navigation we have planned is also suitable for inexperienced people: if you wish the skippers on board will be happy to teach you all the tricks of the trade to make you confident in any situation. If, on the other hand, you have no secrets for you, you can show your value during sailing.
