Welcome to the dock! Ready to get on board? The week on the boat,
now a cult of these years. We will go to the discovery of the
Aeolian Islands, a pearl of the Mediterranean. Will we sail?
Certainly! Will we see wonderful ports? Insured! Weather and crew
permitting, the nights will be spent at anchor, with all the
adventurous part of this way of life. The lunches they will almost
always be consumed on board while for dinners and apritives we
should always be within reach of a tender from a small village in
order to have maximum freedom in the management of the holiday. I
always remember (also given the feedback you will read from 2020)
that the sailing holiday is not subject to weather problems
manageable by us crew members! Think about it before book. we are
good, but we are not God! ;) And now, you can get on board! The
week before a whatsapp group will be created among all crew members
in order to give the missing info, organize the galley and every
other aspect.
Check out the crew!

Very good! Wonderful! Good!
I met Gianpaolo on this occasion. I had some doubts because the holiday organized and described in this way seemed "too good to be true"!
It is subjective what they like or dislike, it is not easy to bring together people's tastes. The fact remains that PROFESSIONALISM IS INDISPUTABLE!
Gianpaolo has been able to leave the space and maximum freedom to be able to manage every situation with the best of fun and maximum safety.
Great experience, enormous professionalism, incredible commitment to the maximum possible!
The tour was amazing, fun, exciting!
Diana is an amazing chef and skipper! Very good, she surprised us on every occasion, incredible what she can do with what she finds in the galley!
All requests have been met, I do not want to write everything to leave a minimum of surprise to those who will discover after us the incredible skills of this entrepreneur, commander, songwriter.
:-)
Professional, always attentive to safety trying to always make yourself available. Very good and nice, the addition of having a support for galley and lunches / dinners was a plus not a little. As a lover of sailing it is the first time I can sail as soon as the conditions have allowed it (much appreciated). Definitely a nice holiday . to be repeated
This was my first sailing experience and I couldn't have asked for better. Giampaolo is a very prepared skipper who loves the sea and his work and made us visit some beautiful places. Comfortable and clean boat and great company. Absolutely to be repeated!
unfortunately we were penalized by the weather not exceptional but Giampaolo still made us visit some wonderful places.
just a note: on arrival I expected an aperitif in the middle of the sea (the departure was between 18 and 22 ).. at 18.10 we were all present but we did not leave before 22 with lunch on board arriving at our destination at about 2 am ...
Ps. I speak only for myself .. that I do not suffer the boat .. a couple of people unfortunately were not well and we almost always stayed on land and anchored at the port
Boat captain and free man .. apart from myself, exaggeratedly unforgettable company. Holiday as a tiring journey, towards ports and destinations, full of charm and happiness! Allow me, cribbio ...
Despite the adverse weather conditions, Gianpaolo was able to manage the weekend impeccably both from a professional and entertainment point of view!
Nice group, we will definitely be back!
BEAUTIFUL RELAXING HOLIDAY WITH FANTASTIC COLORS. THE SKIPPER PREPARED WITH A FEW CLEAR BUT DIRECT WORDS. EXPERIENCE TO BE REDONE BY CHANGING COURSE. I RECOMMEND THESE HOLIDAYS TO THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE COMPLETELY ON A BOAT LEARNING TO JUGGLE WITH THE SPACES AND THE GALLEY. THANKS GIANPAOLO
Beautiful weekend in the company: skipper very prepared and quiet, excellent company and beautiful resorts of the Levante coast. I relaxed like not before this summer! To be repeated as soon as possible... therefore, see you next time and thanks for the tender driving course ;-).
Skipper prepared . We had a wonderful weekend. Few rules but clear as it is right on the boat ! Mixed crew, in the sense that many of us met on the boat and this made the experience even more fun.
Bravo Giampaolo, experience to be repeated.
The advice
Beautiful weekend on a sailing boat. I have already done many other boat holidays so I already knew what to expect, Gianpaolo was however prepared and competent in instructing us adequately before departure.
Gianpaolo is a good and prepared skipper, always ready to listen and meet the needs of guests. He is a pleasant and helpful person. Clean and comfortable boat.
Experience stra recommended and absolutely to be repeated!
Beautiful weekend on a sailing boat!
Absolutely positive experience and that I would like to repeat. It was my first sailing holiday so before I left, I didn't know what to expect specifically. I found: quiet navigation, beautiful destinations, great company and comfortable boat. The skipper, Gianpaolo, is competent, a pleasant and very helpful person. He was able to advise me in the best way before departure and managed in the best way a situation of seasickness. I highly recommend leaving with Gianpaolo and his boat!
Do not get on this boat, I have warned you. I will not dwell on it, because everything has already been written in the other reviews of August 2020. Almost everything, but I'll spare you the rest. Trust and move on.
Beautiful trip, I expected it just like that, on a sailboat with wonderful and nice companions just as the skippers Giorgio and Gianpaolo always available to our needs and as a side dish the crazy sea of Sardinia!!! To be repeated!!!
A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS - I took part in the holiday organized by Giampaolo Sapore di Sale 2020 and unfortunately I must say that it was not the holiday I expected thanks to the bad weather and some incidendi who presented themselves to our sister boat, I can not hide that the gramparte of the week was characterized by a general discontent.
At the end of the week I can say that the success of these holidays is based on 3 main pivots: the company, the boat and the skipper.
THE COMPANY passes with the highest marks the group has cohesive itself immediately and has represented the best positive note
THE BOAT (her) also an excellent travel companion, tidy, clean and versatile in space
THE SKIPPER - GIAMPAOLO is certainly a competent and passionate person you can only reproach him for some logistical and organizational imperfections accomplices perhaps the weather and the enlarged fleet, I hope he can improve.
I will definitely try again
Holiday under expectations, Gianpaolo good and nice but a management of the unexpected a bit 'lacking with consequent loss of time for us ...
definitely inclement weather but something more could be done ...
Sorry, it was my first experience
We are not there. If I had to express an opinion on the holiday would be negative, but having to talk about Gianpaolo I wanted to take a few days to make a review "cold" and shake off the frustration related to this unfortunate experience. Gianpaolo is certainly a capable sailor and an excellent navigator, able to manage the boat even in difficult situations, but unfortunately from a skipper who decides to sell a holiday to a vast and varied public, and who in any case is influenced by sea and weather, I would have expected a greater ability to manage unexpected events, look for alternative solutions taking into account who you have on board and involve guests totally in the life of the boat and in the decisions on itinerary, expectations and times. Unfortunately this difficult week has caught Gianpaolo unprepared and from this he will be able to learn a lot, as far as we holidaymakers are concerned, we returned home with a bitter taste in our mouths and a week of vacation almost wasted. A great pity.
Mediocre holiday.
Premise: first time on a sailing boat and bad wind and very rough sea from the first day
NO Points:
1.I book a holiday with Gianpaolo in a boat with 6 seats (4occupati by me and 3friends) and a few days after booking comes upgrade from single boat to flotilla on sailsquare
2.La Solitarie II had problems that also affected the times of Her (where I was)
3.seen sea and wind, I expected to have been prepared a plan B alternative to Sardinia
4.the impossibility of leaving the port was communicated to us only after arriving in Civitavecchia and shopping for galley (no info before)
4.The actual sailing times were much longer than stated and this led us to full days of navigation and few stops for baths (3 in 7 days)
I appreciated having tried to save the salvageable and the "family" climate, but professionalism, transparency and empathy are to be improved.
Giampaolo I did not live, because although I had chosen him with a crew already concluded, for a bug of the site according to him, a second boat appeared 15 days after my booking. The skipper selected by Giampaolo I do not think does this job, in fact the boat has presented several maintenance problems, such as breaking the mainsail (blaming the fact on the sailor) forcing us to return to Civitavecchia, wait for the repair, and leave only on Wednesday afternoon. Later other pieces broke (the bow cricket twice) thus preventing us from using the boat for its purpose. Difficulty on the part of the second skipper, to carry out the anchoring and mooring maneuvers, leaving too much responsibility to the crew and making us lose about 2 or 3 hours every day to carry out these maneuvers. I think too many aspects have been underestimated and this superficiality has affected the satisfaction and success of the holiday.
