Brief description of the holiday

We will spend a relaxing holiday, sailing in the Gulf of Alassio between the Cappelletta and Capo Mele, wind permitting, the sails will open to enjoy the unique emotion that only a sailboat can give. We will stay close to the island until late afternoon to dive into a wonderful sea and savor a fantastic aperitif to end a special day.

Our formula allows you to spend an afternoon on a sailing boat without stress, finding the galley already placed on board upon your arrival and a planning of the day already programmed. The kitchen is managed by Carmen, with simple, light and delicious dishes, suitable for all needs in a Mediterranean style ; there will be dishes of the true Ligurian tradition. We look forward to seeing you on board for a wonderful sailing holiday, immersed in the beauty of the Gulf of Alassio.

We will embark at the Alassio marina, which has a large car park, at 2.30 pm, accommodation on board with a welcome briefing. At 2.40 pm we set sail for Capo Mele, obviously, wind permitting, the sails will be hoisted, those who wish can learn the various maneuvers and try to steer, always with Daniele's super vision. Afterwards, we will set sail for the Gallinara island to visit it and swim in a fantastic sea, those who wish can try to go on the SUP, following the expert advice of the little chief instructor Edoardo, kind but severe with due kindness. Carmen's super aperitif and return to the gates around 7.30pm. Greetings and hugs, which almost always become moving as we become attached to our guests.

Those who wish can request in advance to stay on board one or more nights, make a request and you will be provided with a personalized rate. Don't hesitate to ask if you want it.

A special day! Daniele's passion for sailing, the company of his wife Carmen, the sympathy of his son Edoardo and a super time were the ingredients that made this Sunday really special ... Thank you very much... Carmen's final aperitif was then the perfect conclusion to this beautiful day.

First experience in Sailing. what to say... unforgettable day! wind and high waves were not lacking to make an afternoon exciting. Riccardo, Carmen and little Edoardo made the experience complete. delicious and abundant aperitif with quality products. SUPER RECOMMENDED !!! Ps. John number 1

Fun day, very demanding sea and wind but very safe and comfortable boat. Close-knit crew, we sailed for hours between very high waves. Thanks to Daniele who never questioned the exit despite the weather, to Carmen who at the end of the day prepared a Super aperitif and to Edoardo who kept company with my son Tommaso of the same age. Experience to be repeated, see you soon!!

We had a wonderful family day, the boat is recently spacious and comfortable, it was very nice to pilot the boat with the supervision of the captain. Relaxation and adventure are guaranteed, the captain was considerate to meet our needs and to conclude a generous aperitif on the boat!!

What can I say, after years in which I no longer went by boat for fear of suffering from seasickness, I had the pleasure of finding myself spending a wonderful day! With Daniele and Carmen I fell into very good hands. They have always cared about how they were (very well!), they did not miss anything (between pleasant chatter and professionalism) and thanks to a surprising wind that came out on a flat day we also sailed in the gulf (an emotion for me indescribable). At the end could not miss a bath and a ride in Sup near the islet, and then leave room for the grand finale: a surprising aperitif offered on board before the return (on the lights of sunset). Wow! Highly recommended experience. I would do it again immediately, and I will do it again soon. Thanks again for everything!

I will certainly remember my first sailing trip thanks to Carmen and Daniele. Two really exquisite people, owners of a beautiful sailboat, clean and kept in perfect condition. Alassio is even more beautiful view like that! Thanks again, I will be back.

Despite the bad weather, Daniele and Carmen managed to make our sailing trip very pleasant. Equipped, prepared and very nice. We felt at home! Experience to be repeated. Thanks again

Ours was unfortunately an experience interrupted by bad weather: an intense and prolonged storm forced us to return to port shortly after departure. The weather forecast gave very few mm of rain, in fact a half-flood came down. Daniele was however very kind as he reimbursed us at his expense part of the expense. The only disappointment is not for Daniele but for Sailsquare that in cases like this should provide to reimburse, at least partially, customers. If Daniel had not come to meet us, we would have lost all the amount spent. We hope to be luckier with the weather at the next opportunity... the desire to live a sailing experience will have to wait a little longer ... Maybe next summer we will try again.

Daniele, Carmen and Edo are gorgeous! We had a nice day together. As if we had been friends for a long time! Very good aperitif prepared by Carmen. Edo always happy, teaching my daughters to use the SUP. Truly a day not to be forgotten! We will definitely be back.

Wonderful people, it's not just a sailing trip but it's really an experience! I highly recommend her

Fantastic day on a beautiful boat piloted by Daniele, very good skipper who guided us to discover the gulf and the island. A fantastic aperitif at sunset in front of the island of Gallinara prepared by Carmen closed the trip in style. Absolutely to be redone!

Great Day Daniele as soon as we left the port hoisted the sails and thanks to the day with a nice fresh wind He immediately made us understand what it means to sail (only the sound of water on the keel and the wind sliding on the sails). A compliment also to Carmen always attentive to the needs of the crew. Not to mention the wonderful aperitif. Last but not least, Sicilian cannoli for everyone!!!! Thanks again to Daniele and Carmen

Daniele and Carmen were splendid, the boat definitely beautiful and comfortable. Very willing to make you live a day to remember. Also you can find everything that allows you to have fun if you decide to dive in for a bath. Top the aperitif with selected and refined products. You can see that they have a natural propensity for customer care. Highly recommended

Definitely recommend this beautiful experience in the company of Daniele, his wife Carmen and little Edoardo. A beautiful family that collaborates to make the day perfect. Daniele impeccable skipper, Carmen caring as only a mom can be and Edoardo always ready to play keeping you company all day as well as being a great teacher of SUP ???? Excellent aperitif at the end of the day, good and very abundant. Super recommended we will definitely see each other again.

Chapeau This is the word that came to my mind once I got off at the port, I'M HONEST, I'M NOT THE TYPE WHO LEAVES REVIEWS, I DON'T LIKE IT BOTH FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, but here I'm obliged to do it, I wouldn't feel okay not to do it. Let's start with Daniele (affectionately called by me THE Captain) in addition to a great Maritime experience, with his way of always posing in his own way and with sympathy, he has the ability to make you feel at ease right away, which is not easy especially with people you do not know, and CARMEN, (the queen), on the other hand, knows how to make you feel pampered, and why not, even a little spoiled, always attentive to the physical well-being even of the crew, a very exquisite person. For our group I'm sure it's just a goodbye. IF YOU HAVE READ UP TO HERE, I JUST TELL YOU TO CLICK BOOK, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

Wonderful experience. Daniele, Carmen and Edoardo are very kind, super hospitable, they welcome you on their boat, really beautiful and comfortable, making you feel immediately at ease. Daniele also explains the various maneuvers in a precise and careful way during navigation. Top also the aperitif at the end of the day. Recommended to spend a pleasant day of relaxation in the company

Beautiful experience, to be repeated! With Daniele, Carmen and the super Edoardo you immediately feel at ease on the beautiful and comfortable boat so much so that it seems to have always known them. Relaxing day, very pleasant company, bath in front of the beautiful island and even with little wind we had a lot of fun. The port is also very convenient, you can put your car safely in the parking lot of the port 10 meters from the boat. And what about the aperitif? A real dinner! Well done Carmen!

Really interesting and exciting experience. Daniele and Carmen, and little Edoardo, are really welcoming and nice. A day of relaxation and sailing. Daniele, proud of his nautical skills, meticulously explains every maneuver to you. super aperitif at sunset with delicious stuffed focaccia, Sicilian cannoli and glass of brut ... an experience among "friends", to be repeated as soon as possible.

My wife, son and I had such a wonderful day with Daniele, his wife Carmen, their son Edouardo and two other travellers. The day was very relaxing. We swam in the sea, fed fish, and ate lovely food made by Carmen. We even got to "skipper" the boat for a bit. Edouardo and my son didn't speak the same language but they got on well. Edouardo is such a nice boy and it made the day even more enjoyable for my son. I thoroughly recommend this trip. Thank you, Daniele.

Wonderful day between the island Gallinara and Capo mele. Daniele and his family were as wonderful as we had known each other for years. an experience to be redone even for several days.

Carmen will take care of preparing the aperitif and tidying up the kitchen and common areas. The collaboration of the group in the management of meals and the cleaning of the common areas is always welcome! Please let us know of any serious allergies or intolerances.

WHAT ARE WE EATING?

Carmen usually prepares dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, while you are engaged in your moments of relaxation, swimming in the blue sea or sunbathing….. and almost by a miracle you will find yourself in four and four eight in front of a glass of wine, at menu prepared with care and our beautiful bays as a backdrop. We like to see our guests happy and satisfied with their choice and to know that they have trusted us both as commander and as responsible for the success of their holiday.

Allergies and intolerances?

Intolerances on board are easily manageable with food exclusions in food preparation, the galley is equipped for the preparation of various foods but it is not a restaurant kitchen, therefore allergies especially the serious ones that seriously compromise health or even hospitalization must be submitted to the skipper at the time of booking.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER?

Imagine that you have booked a holiday in a hotel or tourist village and the weather is bad for a few days in the locality where you are staying. This is not the case with the sailboat as we will sail every day in any weather and sea. It can happen to postpone the departure from the port for a few hours. In this and other cases, we organize land excursions by bicycle, swimming in neighboring coves, food and wine or cultural visits. Always ask the skipper who will organize everything for you in the best possible way.

WHAT ARE THE SKIPPER'S DUTIES?

The skipper is responsible for the safety of the crew and for running the boat, so it is always good to listen to his advice. His job does not include cleaning on board, except for external cleaning which he will do where possible every day. For cleaning, only the final cleaning is included, which will be done upon returning from the cruise. However, it is always a good thing to keep the boat tidy and clean.

WHERE DO DANIELE, CARMEN AND EDOARDO SLEEP?

With you if the cabins are not all occupied, otherwise, if all 7 berths are occupied or the boat is rented exclusively, at your home and they will return the following morning.

CAN YOU STEERING AND PRACTICE ON BOARD?

Our and the first Mission is to be available to guests who wish to have fun and learn to sail a sailboat, everyone can participate in the maneuvers and in the running of the boat, always under the supervision of the captain.

HOW ARE THE CREWS FORMED?

It is not always easy to organize a group but don't worry about this, in general we always manage to form a well-matched group by age, for couples we will form groups of couples, for friends always the same, ditto for singles and families with children.

HOW TO HAVE THE BOAT EXCLUSIVELY?

It's very simple, just form a group of 7 people, or less if you wish, who can be single friends, couples, relatives or families to have your exclusive boat with skipper and hostess. The advantage is that you can choose to vary the itinerary as you please, always with the super vision of the skipper who knows the site well, the weather and the places to stop.

IS THE CRUISE SUITABLE FOR FAMILIES?

Absolutely yes, it represents a truly complete and exciting holiday for families and children. Generally we form groups for the same type or they are one or more families who ask us for an exclusive boat. For life on board, the skipper will help you choose the itineraries, with easy sailing, many stops for swimming in the bay, small beaches to reach with the SUP, fishing on board which amuses the children a lot.

WHO IS THE SAILING HOLIDAY NOT SUITABLE FOR?
