Unique experience and amazing people!
A trip full of emotions and that I will never forget, Marco and Valentina welcomed me on the boat, and immediately made me feel at home. During the three days of travel I had the pleasure of getting to know them better. Marco is a calm and kind person, a super competent and professional skipper. Always willing to teach his crew how to fix the course and sails, regardless of the level of experience. Master of sailing and unique life. Valentina, also very kind, is a bomb of energy and happiness, always ready to entertain and spoil the crew with aperitifs and delicious dishes. I will never forget the crossing of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Between naps tickled by the waves of the sea, aperitifs with traditional food and white wine, and shifts at the command during which to learn to manage the boat. And finally, three days of pure relaxation and fun in Sardinia immersed in unique coves with emerald water.
A unique experience, which can perhaps be summarized in two considerations. 1) have a skipper who built the boat with his own hands and brought it from Canada to us 2) See up close the desire to do of young researchers who will surely become great.
Thanks to all of you, from the crew to the wonderful guests. A special greeting to the Captain who allowed me to take his boat even through difficult seas. See you again!
we have just disembarked from a week experience with the Havana Vela team (Giampy and Edo)... what to say... important, comfortable and performing means. Excellent skipper, really with great experience... not only skipper.. but really a member of the group with sympathy, availability, without ever losing professionalism .... a week full of smiles, sympathy, unique sailing experience!
Unique experience... more than recommended...
Great skipper! you can see that he knows his boat, loves the are and knows how to manage the boat, the crew and the various situations.
He has always been able to find and propose the solutions to the contingencies that the weather presented to us!
Attentive to the needs of the crew, he is also a music expert and an interesting person with whom it is very pleasant to talk.
I would gladly take another trip with him!
Good Wind, Andrea!
It was a great holiday, getting to know and visiting new places via sailboat was a unique and very positive experience. Luigi puts guests at ease, even those who, like me, it is the first time he has set foot on a boat, making me discover the magic of navigation. This skipper is very competent, both about the navigation and the knowledge of the places. And what does not hurt is an excellent cook. I will definitely go back to sailing.
An exciting experience! We spent a wonderful week in southern Sardinia. The boat very clean and performing, Edoardo the skipper is a really pleasant person, a professional but at the same time affable and humble, he immediately put us at ease and really endorsed our every request during the cruise. We visited views and beaches difficult to reach from the ground, ate excellent typical dishes and made incredible baths.
Definitely!
What can I say, a wonder!
Starting from the super competence, professionalism and sympathy of Federico who was excellent from start to finish and then not to mention the fabulous places that he gave us the opportunity to admire.
Super recommended, unique experience that I will definitely do again.
A very fine person and experienced sailor! Great sailing too. Had a very great time on sea and on land. Discovered many lovely new places. So, if sailing in wintertime with Leo is fun, immagine the great time one will have in summertime! ;-)
Jederzeit wieder!!!
Paolo is a very experienced skipper, kind and helpful, attentive to everyone's needs.
The boat is comfortable and well equipped.
He took care of us from breakfast to dinner and gladly shares his boating experience.
Marino is a safe and reliable skipper as well as being a helpful person with strong teaching skills. Itinerary that allows you to get an idea of the most beautiful beaches in southern Sardinia. Satisfied.
Great holiday, shame about the weather that was not the best.. Rino was able to avoid the disturbances with mastery! Prepared in difficult times, face adversity with optimism! It was me and my boyfriend in an already formed group of friends. It was difficult to integrate, it went well even so!
Nice holiday after all thanks Rino! Fantastic boat exceptional comfort!
we spent a nice week in good company. due to the weather (little wind) we could not see many places and remained more less around St. Peter's.
the room was very picolissima!
Giovanni spoiled us with fish, fresh from the sea and prepared by him.
The 5 stars are just for the surprisingly pleasant holiday, absolutely relaxing and for the fact that it went well beyond my expectations. If it were possible, I would add many more... Because the belief is that this result was not the result of chance, as often happens, for the lucky coincidence of friendly people, for the sailing conditions or for the sympathy of the skipper, but, on the contrary, for Marco's ability to create, and maintain, the ideal conditions for everything to work for the best and everyone lived the perfect boat holiday! His passion for sailing, never intrusive, is exciting. His hospitality, along with that of Franco, is wonderful. Francesca's support is an integral part of this success. And, despite having alternated different people, of different ages and different boat experiences, this has never affected the positive and fun atmosphere! And all this, in my opinion, reflects management skills not within everyone's reach!
Sail... Amazing unique and unforgettable experience.... I had never sailed in my life, thinking that motor boats were more congenial to my hectic way of life. But I was wrong. I must say that in sailing I enjoyed the sea in full relaxation. I met Nicola extraordinary quiet and calm person. And only now I understand why.... I was really lucky to find myself with people with whom there was harmony and where I hope we do not lose sight of it.... In short, a pleasant holiday that I would recommend that I hope to repeat soon ... good wind to all Anna
Paolo is nice, helpful and helpful, he is a competent skipper.
He showed us beautiful beaches and seabed.
My wife and I had a great time and it is an experience that we would gladly do again and that we recommend to everyone.
Cecilio and Giuseppina
Mauro and Betty are a security, they have experience and you can see, they are not improvised. They know very well the places where they bring their guests, they know how to tell them and make them savor in every detail delighting you even with local dishes cooked on the boat, they know how to navigate but also socialize with people. A holiday with them is also all this is not just going sailing or taking a selfie from a boat to show it to friends.
We are 4 friends, Simonetta, Anto Filomena and Claudia, it is not our first boat holiday, but this year we were projected to a relaxing boat holiday. And so it was! Even more! Beautiful boat with right spaces and very clean, complete with everything, Giacomo as well as, perfect skipper, good, reassuring, attentive and caring, excellent cook and perfect "boat" master, he also turned out to be a nice travel companion. An experience definitely to be redone!
Franco is professional, kind, patient, and a great person. It makes you feel comfortable, and gives you confidence and courage during what we can call informal sailing lessons. He has a thousand anecdotes to share and an unconventional way of interpreting sailing. I left for a week and stayed 21 days in navigation. Best testimony of the goodness of the experience I can not find. Good Wind!
Massimo transmits great passion and experience for sailing and this passes from a careful and always vigilant management of the boat (day and night) and from the involvement of the "crew" in the maneuvering activities.
In addition to all this, Massimo is a person always available and attentive to his guests, completely immersed in the journey and in the collective experience
Massimo and Antonella are two wonderful people. We received exemplary hospitality and Massimo and Antonella proved to be ready to solve any unforeseen events. Icing on the cake: Antonella is really a very good cook. Highly recommended!
