It was a unique experience of its kind, Roberto is a skipper of great experience who has been able to best grasp the needs of his guests. In these days he has transmitted to us all his love for sailing and for the sea. His boat is really nice, well organized and above all very well kept. It was a weekend that will surely remain in our hearts.

Fantastic experience.. Exceptional professional skipper attentive in every detail.... Super nice boat.... Important... we felt comfortable in everything... To be repeated as soon as possible

top holiday!!! Boat cared for and very clean (bathroom with top electric drain!). Roberto skipper impeccable and extremely professional while Irene his partner made us the holiday unforgettable!!! Advice for the next crews follow Roberto's advice and you will not regret it!!!

Fantastic experience even for those who are new to sailing. Roberto is a very good captain. He loves his boat and sailing. Very experienced has been able to make the holiday pleasant and safe. As soon as it can hoist the sails in search of the wind making navigation fun. We visited the most beautiful coves of Palmarola and Ponza... and it is priceless to wake up at anchor in front of a wonder of nature and immerse yourself in water even before having breakfast.

Fantastic experience with Commander Roberto. The boat with attention to the smallest details combined with the professionalism and competence of the captain make the experience truly unique. Roberto proved to be available during all phases of the holiday making it safe and pleasant. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge of the islands he took us to visit the most beautiful coves of Ponza and Palmarola, also advising us on how to move on land. Great experience, will definitely be back!

You can go to a tourist village, confined within four walls and spoiled by animation, believing you are taking a trip. Or you can go backpacking to really explore the place you have decided to visit, to discover the customs and traditions of those who live there. If the sea is a place, its boat and its crew made us take a real trip.

Beautiful weekend of relaxation and beautiful company. Roberto, attentive and caring skipper, made us feel immediately at ease and above all safely. Deep connoisseur of the sea and the boat, he involved us with basic notions of sailing always creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, together with his lively and sporty companion. In short.. super recommended... because "when you go sailing, you sail"! Hello Roberto and Irene!

We spent a very nice weekend at the Pontine islands. The boat very nice and well maintained, it is comfortable with 4 guests. Roberto is a very prepared skipper, he explained a lot about sailing. He dropped us off in Ponza for Saturday night, recommended a very good and not very touristy restaurant luckily. To review a bit the part of empathy and engagement, having to stay at least 48h in close contact on a boat. Safety and professionalism in the first place. Said this weekend very pleasant, boat super clean and organized. Next year we will do a weekend with him again.

A beautiful and welcoming boat and Roberto an experienced skipper who transmits his deep love for the sea and sailing in every gesture. The wind goes looking for him and, even when it seems that there is not, ... he finds it! Attentive to everyone's needs, he is caring without ever being intrusive and knows how to make the holiday relaxed and pleasant. Absolutely YES: to be repeated!

A wonderful holiday always in search of the wind, perfect for those who love sailing, the sea, relaxation and good company. Roberto a fantastic skipper who involves you in the endless passion for navigation without a motor... a highly recommended experience especially for those who want to break away from the routine and live at the slow pace of the gentle rocking of the sea.

Our advice is NO. This short sea trip was a gift from me and my husband to our dearest friend for her birthday. We left full of enthusiasm, desire for lightness and strong of a consolidated experience of happy holidays together but unfortunately the skipper immediately created a heavy and boring atmosphere. Roberto did not give us a smile throughout our stay and showed himself little empathetic and very rigid, making us often feel uncomfortable, Surely it is not enough to have a beautiful boat and be sailing experts to carry around customers but we are convinced that it will be better next time choosing a different skipper. ----- ANSWER SKIPPER ----- Cara Barbara. I'm sorry you weren't satisfied with the holiday. Unfortunately you can not be nice at all. Maybe you needed a more cheerful skipper to brighten up your holiday. Maybe one who told jokes and stories about which to make fat laughs. Maybe for the next holiday take more care in reading the reviews. My idea regarding this work is that of a professional who must put the safety and comfort of the guests first. If all this does not correspond to your idea, I can only be sorry. Perhaps when booking your next holiday make sure that the skipper has with him, instead of wax and Life-line, only a clown costume.

Holiday 10 e Lode! Roberto turned out to be an excellent skipper who with skilful skill led us to discover the most hidden corners of the Pontine Islands and their gastronomy giving us unforgettable views in a harmony of Mediterranean colors and flavors. Thanks to his strong teamleader skills, and combining moments of teaching with as many relaxing, he managed to create a close-knit crew to which I applaud for self-denial, availability and sympathy! Trip recommended to all lovers of the sea, boat and sailing!

Perfect holiday! Roberto is a professional skipper and sailing expert, available and always ready in planning itineraries, in managing the boat and in dispensing excellent advice for learning sailing! Equally valid is the boat, a fantastic X-Yachts that manages to combine performance and comfort in an excellent, well-maintained and clean way. The beauty of the places, the skipper, the boat and a terrific crew made this experience really great!

What can I say... try it to believe it!! Roberto a guarantee skipper to say the least UNIQUE and a top crew have made this holiday fantastic!! Can't wait to get back on board and explore new destinations

Roberto is an experienced, professional and generous skipper. He did not spare himself in making us fully enjoy the wonders of this archipelago, making us know the most beautiful places on each island. He was always helpful and attentive. He taught us the basics of sailing even though we were a crew of almost newbies But above all it made it possible for a holiday to become a trip and for six strangers to become a group of friends. I sincerely hope to return to sail with him!

Why is the skipper more important than the boat? My three friends and I left for a weekend in the Pontine Islands from 17 to 19 July, together with Roberto. The ingredients for a perfect weekend were all there: a technical and performing racing boat, the cobalt sea of the Pontine, the enthusiasm to enjoy a holiday with friends. If it weren't for Roberto. As much sailing expert as little of conviviality, empathy and team spirit. At times even unsteady, disinterested in showing us the islands, which he is paid for. Of Ponza we saw only 2 coves, with bathroom in 1 only, did not let us go down even to the Port. The tender inflated only x two hours on the last day. Of Palmarola we saw only 1 cave and did the 3o min bath in Cala del French. All the other boats instead sailed between the various coves and had descended into the port of Ponza. We spent so much to see very little. Too bad, it could have been much better. -----------------------------------------------------------SAUTHOR's ANSWER--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Rita. I'm sorry you didn't feel good. Unfortunately you can not be nice at all. In Ponza there was the east, a wind that does not allow you to go ashore and that forces you to live only a part of the island. But I seem to remember that your discontent was due to the fact that you missed the train. (Because you wanted to have lunch and dwell at the table despite my invitations to leave). And in relation to this event it also seems to me that you have not paid for the fuel consumed. I thank you for the review. A silly swallow (against the hand) never makes spring. Unfortunately for you I am afraid that it does not have the result you had hoped for. Good wind

The first time I helmed a sailboat I was 5 years old. I remember it as if it were yesterday. Unfurling the sails made me relive the same sensations. Do you want advice that is worth following both from those who have experience and from those who do not? Leave the moorings, listen and learn as much as you can from Roberto and above all let yourself be surprised by where the wind will take you! "Sailing is the most beautiful adventure of a lifetime." (G. Soldini). Thanks Roberto!

A dream from which I never wanted to wake up. A perfect holiday in every detail a beautiful boat and a unique skipper. Roberto is a true professional with a great experience and a great passion for the Sea and sailing that in a few days he managed to transmit to me. What to say I recommend it to everyone. See you soon, but this time for a longer holiday. Thanks Roberto

Weekend in Ponza with a unique racing sailboat! Roberto and Arianna are two special people just like their boat. Roberto with his professionalism, experience and patience made the trip safe and engaging. I can't wait to get back to "tidying"! Hi guys and thanks again!

Sailing cruise to the Pontine Islands. Too short. I never wanted to go back. The boat is beautiful, perfect and comfortable in the spaces to be shared Skipper Roberto is a true sailing professional. Attentive to our needs and available to realize our holiday wishes. Kind but authoritative he made our days unforgettable. Thanks Roberto. We will definitely see you again for a longer cruise
