Recommended experience!! Unforgettable holiday!! Luigi great captain, skipper and sailing instructor, managed all situations safely, despite the wave and strong wind. He transmits the passion for the sea and the world of sailing, available in all explanations, knows the islands and its secrets. Excellent cook engages you with his wonderful tales. The boat is lived,cozy and clean. The trip was wonderful also for the presence of the second skipper super Giangio. The exceptional adventure companions, many emotions experienced together... Thank you all!! See you soon!!

I can only speak well of the skipper and his deputy Giandrea, friendly and helpful people but above all lovers of the sea. Luigi constantly dispenses sailing lessons and transmits calm even when the weather is not the best! Finally I can say that I did a full immersion of sailboat, the engine we really used only when indispensable, also Luigi knows the area well and gave us many tips. I will definitely repeat the experience with them, everything was made unforgettable by a wonderful crew. Alexander

Unfortunately my first, and I think last experience with Sailsquare, was not positive, for the weather conditions, which meant that the holiday lasted 6 days and not the 8 expected, and for the disorganization and little imagination of the Skipper. Departure scheduled for August 17 from Ostia, due to the wave, the skipper decides to leave on the 18th morning making us arrive at the port on the 17th afternoon to stay overnight by boat, which for me is useless being from Rome. Arrived at our destination, in the four additional days of vacation, we saw practically nothing: 3 coves in Ponza, a full day in Ventotene and a touch and escape in Palmarola. At our request for the use of the tender to visit more coves, not reachable by sailboat, we were told that it was not possible. To this I would also add a very bad information and consequent organization of the galley. Nothing to say about securing the boat. ------------SASOUTHOR's ANSWER--------------------As I had already explained the boat holiday is subject to the weather and sea conditions that see me committed to safeguarding the safety of passengers and the boat, (I also brought the example of renting for a house the sea where unfortunately if it rains all week you pay the same). But let's get to the points mentioned. I made everyone arrive in the afternoon to decide the departure given the weather conditions and on my advice the departure for the next day was accepted by all the crew, it was necessary to stay all on the boat from the evening because we left with the first window of good weather and despite this some components had seasickness even with a beautiful sunny day The coves of Ponza visited were 4 out of 5 ....Cala Feola, Cala Inferno, Cala Core, only Chiaia di Luna was skipped, so all of them. Chiaia jumped because either you visited and you passed in the morning or you refueled with diesel water for the boat and water and food for the crew was not possible the next day because we would have passed by Palmarola before returning, also it was almost impossible to moor and only taking advantage of my knowledge we managed to pay a negligible amount, the moorings I repeat were full and there was no place. But even this decision was made collegially with the crew In Ventotene the rest of the crew wanted to stay an extra day but they satisfied Eleonora who wanted to return to Ponza to disembark with the taxi and where she disembarked for three consecutive evenings For the use of the Tender, as I explained it is forbidden to disembark on the beaches of the island which are all delimited with the buoys propio not to disembark, due to landslides, and are controlled by the authorities that obviously supervise for safety reasons and that give fines to those who disembark and to the skipper who disembarks, then the use of the tender at night to reach the island is forbidden for reasons of safety of navigation not having the lights of via and not least the new provisions of the mayor of Ponza that prohibit disembarkation with the covid tender reason, the municipal is in charge of control The touch and run on Palmarola was always in relation to the weather and sea conditions that predicted how then occurred wave of 1.80 from w for the day of return and sustained winds, anticipating in fact we returned safely in fact we took sea and 25 knots of wind only in the last 10 miles For the galley the family that was on board considered it appropriate to do it for their own account because the boys ate only certain foods and also of this Eleonora had been warned days before departure on the group I created on WP. Mine does not want to be a controversy but only an exposition of the facts with choices always shared by the crew that obviously makes use of the majority and in compliance with safety regulations.

On board with Luigi I had my baptism sailing, I could not have chosen master and Cicero better!! Luigi is an exceptional person, a great connoisseur of sailing and the sea, at home in his beloved Pontine he guided us in coves where time seemed to stand still. he involved us graduated in the maneuvers making us passionate every day more .. on land he always recommended the best restaurants and the best spots to admire the views! maneuvers and fish AROSTOO!! they have no secrets for him! a hug Cap to the next adventure.

Luigi was a great captain! Available even before departure to meet everyone's needs. He guided us to discover the pontoons but above all he made us passionate about the sailboat trying to involve the whole crew in the maneuvers. Prudent, he made us sail always safely making us always have fun. A perfect alchemy between crew and commander! Absolutely recommended, we will be back :) Thanks cap!

great captain! super expert of the Pontine, guides you to know the beauties of these islands both of the sea, of the land and also of the local cuisine, breathe his passion for the sea and the boat, attentive to the safety of the crew and his desires. thanks to Luigi and the rest of the crew it was a wonderful week!

Luigi is a professional skipper, kind, particularly attentive to the weather, he involved the crew (mostly already licensed) in the management of the boat and gave explanations to the less experienced, always sailing safely. Perhaps Sardinia was not really among its ropes and this has influenced the unenthusiastic movements and the absence of curiosity towards the beautiful coves that the Maddalena Archipelago could offer ... certainly much more prepared on his beloved Pontine! Extraordinary people on board!!!

On board with Luigi I lived my first experience on a sailboat ... it was a great adventure. I found a Skipper attentive, provident and always ready to answer any curiosity about the world of sailing and to involve you in the maneuvers. The sailing holiday turned out to be a pleasant surprise, you make a group you collaborate and make new friends. The boat is comfortable that does not feel any discomfort, a feeling that until now had kept me away from this type of holiday. Thanks Luigi and good wind. P.S. From Luigi's stories... The Pontine Islands with him would seem not to be missed.

Luigi is not only an experienced and professional person but also available to teach and help passengers. He steers the boat in maximum safety and also knows how to cook special dishes.

Fearful of the experience, the first, my daughter and I got on board a little awkward, but immediately, Luigi's welcome was reassuring. Made galley with the other travelers, all cute and that I thank, we left in the evening. Luigi is a sailing professional, he travels safely and has a mastery of his boat and his sea, amazing! Perfect trip, he made us visit beautiful coves, we swam with him discovering beautiful backdrops. He took us to eat in a "very cool" place, Always very attentive to the conditions of variability of the sea and the wind, he carefully chose the bays where to stay overnight. We traveled really great. Finally then the wind came and the return was made almost half sailing! A sight to see him maneuver, the naturalness and mastery was amazing . Highly recommended! Ps. He is also a great cook Thanks Luigi and good wind Susanna Dori and Giulia Di Berto

I traveled for the first time on a sailboat to the Pontine islands between July and August as a first experience went well, luigi is an experienced and attentive skipper cHe gave us all immediately security, a person of pleasant company definitely part of the group. For me that was the first time it was a continuous discovery of both places and boat life, which I recommend as an experience for those who had never done it: it allows you to team up because on the boat you need to always think in a group and never in single, it was a full experience! Thanks see you soon

Luigi is a really experienced skipper. He knows the area very well making you discover also good places to dine. He is very accommodating compared to many other owners I have traveled with. It's a great travel companion that I would still go boat with.
