Turquoise water , breeze on the skin , smell of salt ... all this enclosed by the magnificent setting of the Pontine islands , where time stands still and nature surrounds you. A week is ideal to explore the many bays of these islands and enjoy, without haste, the well-deserved relaxation .
This year, in light of the measures for the containment of CoVid-19 and the MIT guidelines which require respect for the distance of one meter on board for non-cohabitants and that, therefore, only cohabitants can share the cabin, we will board a maximum of six people , consisting of three cohabiting couples , to whom we will dedicate three of the four double cabins on board. Alice and I will occupy the fourth cabin.
For the other measures we will take to prevent CoVid-19 contagion, see the " Other useful information " section.
PROGRAM
The appointment is in the early afternoon of Monday. Once on board, you will become familiar with the boat through a short briefing and arrange your luggage in the cabins. As soon as we are ready to leave with full tanks and the galley stowed, we will leave the moorings for Palmarola or Ponza , where we will arrive after about 5/6 hours of navigation. During the crossing we will define together the rough itinerary based on the weather and sea conditions and your preferences.
We will visit beautiful bays such as Cala Spermaturo , Cala Brigantina or Cala del Porto in Palmarola or Cala Feola (where there are natural pools ), Lucia Rosa , Chiaia di Luna or Arco Naturale in Ponza.
For those who simply want to relax, Ponza and Palmarola offer different bays and views for every day of the week. But if the crew is more sporty and adventurous there is plenty of time to go to Ventotene too (3/4 hours of navigation from Ponza) where we will moor in the suggestive Porto Romano , dug entirely in the tuff.
It will be a week dedicated to nature and relaxation , with aperitifs at sunset , dinners under the stars and nights at anchor lulled by the waves . The movements will be pushed by the wind as much as possible, so whoever wants to can get closer to the world of sailing or improve themselves in the management of the boat. Those who just want to relax with a good book or sunbathe can do it, the important thing is that everything is done with education and respect for others.
Who will be able to delight us with tasty dishes is certainly welcome! The galley is open to anyone who wants to use it… and the crew will surely thank you! But fear not: as a rule, those who cook do not wash the dishes!
Whether you have never been on a boat, whether you are an expert sailor, a week on a sailing boat, in addition to being regenerative , will give you emotions , fun and relaxation . And you can't wait to get back on board!
