2 weeks on Mamma Mia islands (the Sporades) on a brand new Bali 4.0 Catamaran

We had a great time on EdenJ. It was very comfortable and a great experience. Daniele and Elli were great host, skippers and above all friends with whom we could have great conversations. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for everything! Florian, Sandra, Julia and Benedikt

A wonderful experience lived in the company of a couple of lifelong friends and Daniele and Elli, always perfect and welcoming on board, prepared, attentive to safety and ready to respond to everyone's curiosity. Their boat is beautiful, performing, welcoming and with the highest level of equipment. We were enraptured by the beauty of Ithaca from the perspective of the sea and the ability of Daniele and Elli to plan the stages with great zeal helped us to experience the most beautiful places.

Wonderful holiday in the waves of the Ionian sea to discover the most hidden and unspoiled coves of Kefalonia and Ithaca not giving up the excellent local cuisine enjoyed in the characteristic taverns encountered along the way ... what to say everything perfect from the friendly welcome of Daniele and Elly excellent hosts, to the careful and competent management of the instrumentation and the itinerary, to the Hi tech boat very clean and functional. Of course, a high degree of complicity, collaboration and if possible sharing of consumption management is required for the good of all, better if you are already familiar with life on board, especially on the high seas but in my opinion to be repeated!

High level boat kept impeccably by the owner (only note the water pump too noisy). We sailed to discover enchanting bays between Kefalonia and Ithaca. Compared to what was advertised I would delete the reference to air conditioning, never used even in extreme conditions; I would also recommend using the desalination plant fluently so that you can have a more frendly relationship with the water on board. Last note, given the gap between the two cabins, a price differentiation would perhaps be appropriate. SKIPPER ANSWER I am glad that Arnaldo also appreciated the high quality of our catamaran and the wonderful holiday spent in search of the most beautiful bays and coves, even if I find some comments not shareable. As for the desalinator (which most boats do not have, thus forcing deviations of the route to recharge the tanks in port once the reserve is over, or washing at sea instead of comfortable showers on the boat, as in our case), it has in fact been regularly used to recharge the tanks, thus ensuring at all times the availability of fresh, hot and cold water, without any solution of continuity, as well as without any effort or problems to procure it; However, as has also been mentioned on board, those who go by boat normally know that water on board remains a precious commodity, even when you are lucky, as in our case, to have a desalinator on the boat; In other words, water is a commodity to be used, but not to be wasted... Yes, yes, all the water you need to feel good (as it was in our case), but without the need to open the taps "throttle", as you can possibly do at home ... Also with regard to the use of air conditioning (also generally rare on other boats), as in all charter contracts, even in our contract (which Arnaldo also signed, I do not know why he did not take it into account in his comment) it is expected that the same can be used (and without limits) in the presence of an electrical connection in port, because otherwise the high power of the system would completely discharge the on-board batteries in a few hours. Since in the ports in Greece there is not always enough voltage to power an air conditioning system (it depends on the place where you are), the use of air conditioning does not depend on the Skipper, but on the characteristics of the port or marina available from time to time. All this was also explained on board, and Arnaldo seemed to have understood, without adding any comment or request at the time; I am therefore surprised by this posthumous observation, as well as being unfounded in its content. In any case, despite the climatic situation in mid-July was, as known, exceptionally hot throughout Europe, thanks to the excellent natural ventilation of the boat (the cabin used by Arnaldo has, for example, two large ceiling walkways, which is quite rare in the nautical panorama), and the excellent fans supplied, even when it was not possible to use the air conditioning for the reasons explained above, On board we slept well, however. Finally, as far as the cabins are concerned, they are both of a very high standard and very comfortable, all with private bathroom and shower. One of the two cabins is larger and with ensuite bathroom, although smaller, the other cabin has a larger bathroom, although not ensuite and a larger bed. Everything is also clearly shown in the video attached to our ads. Each cabin therefore has its strengths and guests in general appreciate both cabins indifferently, without distinction. Finally, I regret that, beyond these comments, which I find precisely not acceptable, Arnaldo has not instead reported, among the various things he has been able to experience on board, the courtesy and assistance constantly received to maximize his experience, including, as a mere example, the pharmacological assistance we provide spontaneously - without even receiving a request and thanks to the rich equipment that we keep on board for the safety and comfort of our guests - thanks to which Arnaldo has solved a specific health problem of his partner, thus avoiding having to walk remotely to a pharmacy and during the hottest hours of the day.

Me and my wife spent 1 week sailing with Daniele and Elli on the Ionian Greek Islands. Has been just amazing as well as the skippers, really professionals and always there to help you to enjoy as much as possible the experience on board. Elli is super kind always welcoming you with a big smile and Daniele is there to share with you his nautical culture explaining and giving tips about how to sail. We had really a great moment together! Highly reccomended trip!

Thanks to Danielle and Il Gatto ;-) For their knowledge and their great professionalism as well as the great care they take on their catamarans. We were able to enjoy seeing for our first how life and maneuvers are on such a boat.

Fantastic holiday. In summary: THE BOAT: brand new, comfortable, elegant and really cared for. Nothing was missing. THE SKIPPERS: prepared, prudent and helpful. Lovers of boat life and eager to share their adventure with guests on board. The ITINERARY carefully planned to enjoy the best of the various beaches and coves with particular regard to the safety of weather conditions but without giving up the thrill of sailing exploration. An unforgettable holiday

We harnessed ourselves on August 6th in Samos and disembarked on the 21st in Leros. Spectacular holiday . Katapliktiko! Exceptional professionalism of the skippers Daniele and Elline, in all the roles they have covered. Great technical preparation and maximum commitment to the choice of the most beautiful and significant places ... nothing left to chance , even with alternative options! Every day new places, carefully selected. Challenging sailing without reservations, special people for a special and unforgettable holiday, very technical fast cat, with spacious cabins. Thanks Daniele and Elline 10 laude

Great seriousness, preparation and reliability. Daniele and Ellina gave us a great sense of safety in navigation, as well as a nice, fun and pleasant company. Never stop, always looking for the next breathtaking beach! Very nice also the young Nicolò who has perfectly adapted to our crew really "strange and extravagant"... :-) Wonderful holiday!

Two intense weeks with a Captain and his companion tireless and impeccable in search of the most beautiful bays and the Greek wind. Serene, quiet with a prepared guide, a comfortable boat and a varied crew! You can't want anything better. Fantastic experience! Thanks Daniele and Ellina. Good wind!

Vote 5 because more you can't. A great fan of sailboat, precise and reliable. It was my second boat experience and there are no words to describe it, I can only say WONDERFUL! Great also Elkins, Daniele's second, agile as a cat and tireless. Good guys and thank you for the wonderful and unforgettable holiday!!! And

5 dots just because you can not give more. Pure passion for sailing, I never pay in discovering new coves. Reliable. Prepared. And Ellina her second skipper super athletic patient and tireless. If you really want to appreciate the sea you have to choose them with skipper. Thanks to them it was a perfect holiday. Or.

A memorable holiday. In fifteen days three hundred miles sailing between a beach with crystal clear water and the other thanks to our Skipper Daniele and his partner Ellina and their perfect planning of the trip. See you soon Angela

A wonderful holiday in good company among the Cyclades islands, always accompanied by a sustained Meltemi, but quiet for the safe and prompt governance of the boat by Daniele and his partner Ellina. Thank you, see you soon! :)

Great holiday thanks to the organization of Daniele and Ellina, prepared in detail. We managed to see practically everything possible of Saint Marteen, Anguilla and Saint Barth, despite the few days available. Time has helped the success of these serene days in which we have been able to enjoy these places from the point of view of sailing, sea and food and wine. Crew and guests up to the situation, the courtesy, reliability and availability demonstrated by Daniele and Ellina allowed us to have fun and at the same time appreciate and discover these beautiful places. We will bring with us a great memory of this holiday. Alice and Daniele SKIPPER'S ANSWER: Alice and Daniele turned out to be great travel companions. Not only competent and collaborative, as indeed the rest of the excellent crew that we were lucky enough to have, but true fans of discovering new places and life at sea. For them every place is better seen from the sea than from the ground, and this has led them to many boat holidays in beautiful and exotic places, of which it was a real pleasure to appreciate the photos and stories in the many moments of relaxation of our holiday together. Great cooks, open and willing to share. What more can I say... we hope to have them back on board with us!

The holiday was very nice. The couple of skippers had amply prepared themselves before to make the most of the time available and prepared a navigation route that allowed us to see all the places where it was possible to drop anchor. The chosen boat was adequate for the holiday. Unfortunately it was changed by the charter a few days before departure for an older version with some annoying flaws discovered along the way: a bathroom that leaked, winch still too little powerful, gps only in dinette. To the couple of skippers, however, I recommend further practice before bringing other guests on board. Despite the undeniable enthusiasm and energy, the lack of practical experience (despite the CV) often translated into a lot of anxiety, instructions shouted with agitation especially in maneuvers in restricted waters. This tension and some small but alarming mistakes have somewhat tarnished the holiday that remains in any case a beautiful experience to remember. Faith and Fra SKIPPER RESPONSE: Francis turned out to be a competent person; with sailing experience and ready to drive a boat independently. These skills, however, accompanied by a more limited participation in the spirit of the holiday compared to the rest of the crew, have translated, instead of a relaxed and tourist approach, into an experience focused on the comparison on most of the technical choices made, with dissatisfaction with those points that were not realized according to his sensibilities. Although we tried to support them (for example, often leaving the rudder in the different sail edges, which Francesco likes very much), evidently we have not always succeeded. We sincerely regret that. According to Francis, for example, the bow/stern communications between me and Ellina in maneuver were "screamed", and in fact they sometimes took place aloud. But with 20 knots of trade winds almost always present in the ears and on our catamaran, the frequent anchor blocks (especially of the winch engine, but also of the chain links) that we had to manage in the middle of the maneuvers, the knobs of the engines that had difficulty engaging the crowd (and they did it in different positions between right and left ...), as well as the same noise of the anchor winch of a different and older boat than the one we had booked... (the result of the replacement decided by the charterer), raising the volume of communications was a necessity to be sure of understanding and completing the anchoring maneuvers to the fullest, as it happened. We tend to a pinch of caution more than one less, especially in the given conditions and with guests on board ... Beyond the different opinions, which we respect, we are still happy that Francesco also appreciated the beautiful holiday, as indeed confirmed by himself, and we hope to have him still on board with us, perhaps this time on a newer boat, like the one we had booked (and that was not given to us as it crashed the previous week), and therefore with still regularly functioning, engine controls in place and GPS available to rudders, instead of a few meters away in the dinette, so as to make life on board easier for everyone.
