Brief description of the holiday

The Pontine islands are unquestionably among the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean and have nothing to envy to other more famous and exotic locations.
All those who see the Pontine for the first time are amazed by their beauty that always exceeds expectations!
We know them very well and we will take you to the right place at the right time!
Our holiday is full of sea, nature, physical activity and also relaxation, sunbathing, culture and fun!

Our boat is large, with plenty of space both above and below deck, which guarantees comfort and privacy.
It has 5 cabins of which 4 are reserved for guests and 3 bathrooms.

There will be two of us on board, Elena and I, and we will do everything to make your holiday unforgettable.

Holiday programme
We will leave Nettuno in the early afternoon of Monday to reach Palmarola after a few hours of pleasant navigation.
Seeing the island approaching and finally giving anchor not far from the shore always generates great emotion and you will immediately realize that you have arrived in a special place ... welcome to the islands of wonders!
The evening will continue with dinner on board under an incredibly starry sky.
On Tuesday morning, as soon as you wake up, we will move with the tender to the suggestive Cala Tramontana to visit its caves; then we will move by boat to Cala del Porto and Cala Brigantina : they are places of heartbreaking beauty and we will discover them by approaching them with the tender, snorkelling and/or paddling with the SUP board.
In the late afternoon we will sail towards Ponza (about 1 hour of navigation) and we will stop in Cala del Frontone or in the harbor in front of the town of Ponza Porto to go ashore.
Wednesday morning we will move to the other side of the island to see Chiaia di Luna and the Capo Bianco caves, ideal for snorkelling, Cala Lucia Rosa with its stacks and Cala Feola where we will swim in the famous natural pools.
We will stay overnight in Cala Feola to dine in the typical little restaurant by the sea or we will return to the other side of the island to go ashore again in Ponza Porto.
Thursday morning is dedicated to the discovery of the east side of the island, namely Cala del Core and the splendid Grotta degli Smeraldi, Cala Inferno and Cala dell'Arco Naturale : they are very beautiful places to relax, swim, snorkel or paddle with the SUP.
After lunch we will have to leave the islands to return to Nettuno where we will arrive in the late afternoon.

The program may vary according to weather conditions and/or your requests.

The boat

Jeanneau 53

cabins: 5
toilets: 3

length: 16,30m
year: 2010

The "Jeanneau 53" is part of Jeanneau's top-of-the-range line called "Yacht" which differs from the traditional "Sun Odyssey" line.

It is a splendid boat, over 16 meters long and 4.80 meters wide, with a weight of 15 tons, 5 of which are located in the bulb, with a generous sail plan and clean water lines.
These characteristics give her marine qualities which also translate into comfort during navigation and stability at anchor.

The powerful 110 hp engine allows you to move easily at 8kn, shortening travel times while the generous sail plan allows you to grind miles without realizing it.
The Jeanneau 53 falls into the Blu Water Cruiser category, i.e. those boats suitable for long-range navigation around the world.

It has 5 cabins (one of which is reserved for the crew) and three bathrooms.
The first thing that strikes you when you get on board is the size of the cockpit: wide, very long, welcoming, with cushions everywhere, ideal for sharing moments of conviviality, aperitifs, dinners.

Moving forward along the teak deck, one is amazed by the huge spaces available for sunbathing.
Going below deck you can appreciate the large dimensions of the saloon, with the elegant facing sofas, the table, the large C-shaped galley with a three-burner kitchenette and espresso coffee machine, many drawers and closets: lots of space that guarantees comfort and privacy.

There are two guest cabins in the bow, with en-suite bathrooms, and two larger ones in the stern. The third head, larger than those forward, is located on the port side of the saloon. Each cabin is equipped with USB sockets.
The finishes are elegant, in line with the Jeanneau Yacht style.
The water tanks have a capacity of one thousand liters allowing for a "relaxed" consumption of water during normal cruises.

The tender, essential equipment for enjoying the holiday, is a Highfield 310 with an aluminum hull.

Very nice experience. Elena and Leonardo welcomed us with great hospitality on board their beautiful boat. Leonardo is an experienced and reliable skipper: he took us to beautiful places. Wonderful travel companions: a magical combination of different lives, experiences and talents.

Leonardo and Elena are a wonderful team. With harmony, professionalism and passion they accompanied me during my first experience on a sailing boat. Nothing has been left to chance, the boat is wonderful, clean and with attention to detail. Elena is an excellent cook and her company and support make the holiday simple and comfortable. What about Leonardo "captain my captain" made us discover the beauty of Ponza and Palmarola with the joy of those who love his work! We explored coves and ravines with wonderful colors thanks to the tender that Leonardo has made available to let us experience the magic of these islands. I felt safe and at home. Between laughter and aperitifs, harmony and team spirit were immediately created! I will never forget this weekend and my wonderful travel companions! Thanks Leonardo and Elena ... Until next time!!

The Pontine Islands were an unexpected surprise for the beauty of the waters and the many caves to explore; A real wonder for anyone who loves swimming and snorkelling. Leonardo knows how to make them appreciate at their best by taking guests to visit the most magical places. his boat is wide and comfortable, Leonardo always sails safely and is a guarantee even for those who suffer a little from the sea. His wife assists him and is very good in the kitchen. In short, a perfect couple with whom to embark to spend a regenerating holiday.

The weather conditions during our tour of the Pontine Islands were not the best but Leonardo, sailing safely, led us between the Islands optimizing the time left at our disposal to let us enjoy the wonders offered by the islands. The boat is very beautiful and comfortable thanks to the care of Elena who supports Leonardo in navigation. Their passion is perceived from the first moment they welcome the crew and their constant attention to make the most of the holiday. Thank you!!!

Leonardo was a great skipper! It was my first time on a sailboat and he was able to make it a really pleasant experience: with the tender he took us to see the caves, made us explore the most interesting seabed and took us to hear the shearwaters, on our first night at anchor. His wife Elena was also very kind, hospitable and always available! Thanks again for everything

We had a very good time on this trip to the Pontine Islands. Leonardo is a guarantee. The boat is beautiful, with all the necessary comforts. Leonardo knows the area very well so he showed us the wonderful places not to forget. Together with Elena they made you fall in love with the sea, sailboat and the location. I will stay here again! Thank you very much

.. I wanted to surprise my husband by taking him on a sailing boat to discover the fantastic island of Ponza hoping that everything would go well and surprisingly everything went wonderfully well!! Leonardo and Elena are two exceptional people who have been able to give the whole group 4 wonderful days! Leo introduced us to amazing places and icing on the cake 6 fantastic travel companions known at the time.. thanks to Eliana, Federico, Irina, Olena, Rosmary and Salvo in strict alphabetical order! ???? All unforgettable!

Thanks to two competent, expert, attentive and polite guides, such as Leonardo and Elena certainly are, in a beautiful and comfortable sailboat of over 16 meters, we discovered the beauties of Ponza and Palmarola enjoying magical views, swimming in enchanted places and wonderful evenings in joy. Thank you Leonardo, thank you Elena for the care you have dedicated to our holiday and that has made our days at sea unforgettable. Vote 10 laude.

We spent a perfect holiday to say the least in the Pontine Islands with our skipper Leonardo who proved to be an expert sailing enthusiast and a lover of the sea, making the trip even more special. On board there was also his wife Elena who delighted us with her excellent salads and took care of us by serving us delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The appetizers were just delicious. During the trip we were lucky enough to catch three tuna during trolling, which were served both in tartare and on the barbecue, adding a gourmet note to our days at sea. Lorenzo guided us to discover beautiful caves using the tender, giving us unique and fascinating exploration experiences. Also on board there were two SUPs that he kindly made available to us, with which we had the opportunity to visit hidden ravines of the coast. Great experience! Thank you Leonardo and Elena amazing experience.

I have had other sailing experiences but I have never found a Skipper with the passion and expertise of Leonardo. Passion that transmits to the people it accompanies and delights them with the beauty of the place. His knowledge of every suggestive aspect of the places enhances the spirit of the participants. A week that we will not forget, made delicious also by the presence of his wife Elena, attentive and kind collaborator. Thank you both.

Thanks to Leonardo, our sailing holiday turned out to be a very special experience. Leonardo is a very competent skipper, caring, and attentive to the people he hosts on board. In fact, not only did he allow us to explore the islands in their most evocative places, thanks to his knowledge of the place, but he was a real travel companion, to whom we soon became attached!
