Fantastic holiday between Northern Sardinia and South Corsica with Claudio, an experienced skipper and excellent company, and Barbara, a test cook very attentive to everyone's needs. We saw memorable beaches and coves, enjoying beautiful sailings and tasty lunches, aperitifs and dinners with a very close-knit crew. Highly recommended!

It was a fantastic week and very relaxing. With the group a beautiful harmony was created and I felt good from the first moment. An added value was certainly the sleep in the harbor for most of the nights: waking up in a bay and immediately taking the first dip before having breakfast has no equal. Thanks then to Claudio and also to Barbara, for being a cook attentive to my celiac needs. I hope there are other opportunities to travel together!

Thanks Claudio and Barbara!! Three magnificent days, fun and always sailing! Barbara and Claudio made an exceptional galley and a great menu for all three days.. The atmosphere on board is always pleasant with Barbara helping in the kitchen and Claudio making you try to steer! Very nice boat, always clean and well equipped! Until next time!

review about Sailing in winter - Offshore sailing March 2022

Barbara and Claudio are great hosts who made me feel home and free on their boat. They are speaking an excellent English so even for me as the only non-Italian it was easy to have conversations with them and to learn the English nautic language. It was so great to listen to their sailing experience all over the world. In general they are very caring and uncomplicated hosts, so not only my English was not a problem they also took care of eating habits. Barbara is a fantastic cook, and I garantee you definitely won`t lose weight on the boat but it will be worth it. The communication before the trip was very easy and and made you feel welcome already. They also were very supportive in terms of arrival and departure. The boat was beautiful and comfortable. In short, two truely exceptional great humans with a wonderful boat in a beautiful location!

review about Halloween and Squid Festival in Capraia October 2021

Claudio is a real Skipper: very prepared, equipped, he really leaves nothing to chance, he knows and respects the rules of the sea to the end. The weather conditions were not exactly "holiday" - nothing dangerous of course, but where others would remain in port to rest, Claudio took us to sail with great confidence. In addition, he is a very pleasant person with many beautiful stories to tell. Really the top. His wife Barbara is a wonderful hostess. Hospitable and kind. I really appreciated that she made a menu proposal - adjusting it to the various intolerances and needs, then making her galley, cooking what you could in advance. In short, super organized. The boat is well maintained - not brand new, but still equipped with everything you need. Claudio and Barbara keep it really well, very warm and welcoming. The result is a weekend in the greatest possible comfort on a sailing boat with two exceptional hosts.

You recognize Claudio's experience and preparation as soon as you get on his boat, and if you add barbara's attentions to this, the result is an unforgettable holiday. They took us to wonderful places, ate divinely and everything safely, without missing the fun and a lot of sailing, Thanks Claudio and Barbara.

Claudio turned out to be a skipper navigated and experienced, he was able to lead us masterfully in complete safety in all ports and harbors. Always available to teach you the art of sailing and sharing your life experiences. Humanly he is a sunny and sincere person, kind and always ready, as far as possible, to meet the needs of the crew. His person is completed and enriched by Barbara, his life and adventure companion, as well as his trusted second. Barbara, in addition to being passionate about the world of sailing, is a scrupulous hostess who has been able to make the holiday perfect also from a culinary point of view. THANK YOU Claudio and Barbara for the holiday you have been able to offer us. I hope that our routes can cross soon. GOOD WIND Stefano and Monica

Nice and quiet boat trip for families, we were a demanding group by age (from 8 to 75): Claudio and Barbara took us to wonderful coves to swim and dive, or go to the beach with the tender. Barbara did her best to cook focaccia and aperitifs while sailing, and teaching the girls how to make croissants. Barbara now want to make the croissant kiosk at home ;)!! We also had evening grill on board, personally the best chicken ever. The two ports where you dock, Saint Florent and Capraia, are wonderful to visit by taking some time. Spoiler: if you bring guitar and beer on board you may hear Claudio singing :)!
