Brief description of the holiday

A new SAILBOAT adventure to discover the south-west side of Sardinia, between wild lands, archaeological sites, pristine beaches where sun, friendships, loves, joy, relaxation and music will accompany us to discover everything, everything that is called BEAUTY .

FROM CAGLIARI TO ALGHERO ONLY ONE WAY TO DISCOVER THE MOST SEDUCTIVE SEA ON THE PLANET

The first stop on this journey will be to anchor in the crystalline sea in front of the Archaeological site of Nora to go ashore, visit the Roman Theater and the remains of a city rich in history. An imprint on this cultural journey as well as leisure and relaxation to get to know this place both from a historical and folkloristic point of view.

We will continue in the surreal silence of sailing and under a celestial vault as you have never seen before to reach unforgettable locations such as Capo Teulada, Sant'antioco and Carloforte . After the welcome received at the visit of the old tonnara where we will be able to taste a tasting and a lunch in the middle of a lagoon full of pink flamingos, it will be the turn of the calm and transparent waters of Porto Flavia for a canoe excursion and to the old mines.

Pushed with sails inflated by the summer wind we will descend to the north to meet the beaches of manta rays towards Oristano, the Archaeological site of Tharros and the beautiful island of Mal di Ventre and the scenographic s'Archittu . A growing amazement, wonder and desire to dive, where every place is a discovery up to the mammoth cliff of the Porto Conte Regional Park promontory where even there a surprise awaits us by visiting the largest caves in Europe, the caves of Neptune and reach the beautiful Alghero where walking in a romantic and ancient waterfront road it will be possible to taste local foods, participate in cultural events, songs, dances, which will also become part of our unforgettable journey.

And then they, the dolphins , the protagonists of this parallel dimension, the sea , where even time passes differently, almost forgotten ...

The boat

Comet 12M

cabins: 3
toilets: 2

length: 12,65m
year: 1986

I recommend a holiday aboard my Comet if you want to share a true sailing experience and to let yourself go with a group of strangers who will become your friends in a jiffy!
The boat is equipped with a triple cabin, a double and a last double in the bow, plus two seats in the dinette for a total of 9 seats for sale.
What to say about my boat ... This is a magical boat! Perhaps it will be for its interior spaces that evoke the ancient times in which the first sailors to discover the world sailed and faced the sea exploring new lands aboard rigorously wooden sailing boats, gathering on deck to study together the best routes to take . Its dark interiors and its soft yellow lights bring the crews to fantasize and relive the sensations of a journey through time with the enthusiasm of being navigators, safe on a sturdy and powerful boat. Being born for a Spanish prince, it boasts the excellence of a solid, comfortable boat with equipment and oversized gliders for a fast and ready navigation at any time.

Getting on the Moby Dick is allowing yourself the luxury of entering a magical world made of cooperation, laughter, nature. The right opportunity to learn the world of sailing because Luca leaves room for everyone to sail, express themselves, ask ... knows how to put you at ease. Experience certainly to be repeated because dreams, albeit with difficulty, must be fed. Thank you!

I always struggle to make reviews because I would like to keep for myself the excellent experience and knowledge of a skipper like Luca. Very available, booked the weekend 19-21 May then skipped due to bad weather in four and four arrived the new availability and immediately relocated the following week as per my needs. Epserto, attentive but never nagging, on his boat you can breathe an air of tranquility and serenity, certainly also thanks to a crew fortunately spot on. Note of merit also to his Moby Dick that to the detriment of the name he bears and his years, turns out to be a very docile, fast and fascinating boat. Thanks Luca for the wonderful weekend.

Nice, knowledgeable and very helpful

Beautiful experience! Luca a super host, guide but also part of the group, made sure that we did as much as possible good days that we had. Absolutely to be repeated!

My partner and I decided we wanted to try this experience, we had never boarded a boat for more than half a day, we did not know what to expect and if we would be able to live 6 days on the boat in close contact with people never seen. Well it was one of the most beautiful experiences we could do. The captain is fantastic, he made us feel at ease right away and managed to create a very nice harmony between everyone. He took us to visit the most beautiful beaches and coves, showed us how the boat works and tried to make us participate in maneuvers and navigation. Together we chose where to stop to sleep and what to visit. All the places not even to say it were beautiful. As well as travel companions. In short, an unforgettable experience definitely to be redone, and of course on the big boat! Thanks Capiiii

Lights and shadows. Luca is an energetic and proactive skipper, ready to change bay even several times a day and ready to offer trips and shore excursions of cultural content. But 8 people on board a Comet 42 is too many; we could not even sit all together to eat.8 people require constant attention that leads to fatigue manifested in a way a little too lively by Luca. Chapter thorny costs: presented astronomical and unjustified counts with subsequent reimbursement following proven inconsistency; "exotic" galley list sent before boarding; landing declared in Alghero, actually Alghero Fertilia, then Alghero following our protests; payment of the port fee after disembarkation; additional mandatory fee paid in equal measure also by participants registered outside Sailsquare which included final cleaning. With the same amount I would have taken a holiday on catamarnoe not on a Comet 42.

My first sailing trip... an unforgettable experience, Every day many emotions, we visited beautiful places accompanied by a beautiful company, music and relaxation ... Luca is a fantastic skipper, in addition to transmitting his passion for sailing and the sea is very attentive to safety and the needs of all ... during navigation it involves you in the maneuvers transmitting safety and passion ... he can immediately put you at ease and is available to solve any problem that arises ... nice, sociable in short, it could not happen to me better ... !!! Thanks to all the people with whom I shared this experience and thanks to the great Captain Luca :-) . Milena.

Luca is nice and competent, experience in full swing!

Beautiful sailing experience! Absolutely to be repeated! The skipper Luca immediately put us at ease and involved us in life on board at 360 degrees, making us participate in all the activities and in particular in the maneuvers during navigation. All this, together with the sympathy of the other participants, created a very pleasant atmosphere on board, of great harmony and cooperation. Luca has also shown great competence and experience in managing a small technical incident that has occurred, transforming a situation of potential difficulty into a further opportunity to increase the team spirit of the crew and make the holiday unforgettable. Thank you all for the beautiful moments spent together! PS: I forgot the final surprise.... the "captain's pasta" that will await you in the last lunch you do on board

Wonderful holiday! Pure magic! An unforgettable first sailing boat crossing! Breathtaking landscapes, exciting sailings and evenings spent in enchanting coves under the stars! The skipper Luca proved to be very attentive to the well-being of the crew from every point of view and allowed us to have fun by involving ourselves in the maneuvers, always with great attention to safety. He also brilliantly solved some small technical drawbacks that arose, demonstrating great experience and professionalism. Thanks also to the other crew members for the wonderful moments spent together! Experience to be repeated definitely!

The ingredients for a top holiday? Wonderful days with the wind that allows you to sail beautifully, a beautiful company and then Luca, the skipper you have always hoped to meet. Nice, helpful, sagacious, involves you in every activity, ....... in a word? It makes you happy. The recipe for a perfect holiday is served!

Luca is a fantastic skipper, he transmits his love for sailing and the sea in every story. It makes you participate in life on the boat. Helpful, very nice, puts guests at ease. A super weekend

Beautiful holiday, Luca is an excellent skipper who allows the crew to feel at ease and participate in life on the boat, both sailingly and not.

Thanks to Luca and the crew for the wonderful holiday.

To be my first sailing experience I can only say that I am satisfied! Boat, Skipper, itinerary and 5-star travel companions. Luca is an experienced, confident and engaging captain in every aspect and moment of the trip. Super recommended.

Luca is a very experienced skipper, he cares a lot about his boat which consequently is also very performing. His ability to organize and the confidence with which he took us by boat made the trip very enjoyable. I will certainly return to the sea with him and his mythical boat.

The passion for really sailing, the passion for his boat that manages to make you feel a bit 'also yours, the ability to respect the times of the group, the ability to have fun but also to make the group feel safe. First really positive boat experience that left me with so much energy and curiosity for a new world and lifestyle for me. Thanks Luca!

Mythical Luke, a true man of the sea. Company and fun guaranteed! The holiday was beautiful, despite the bad weather forced us to anticipate the return. We will be back soon on his boat ;) Berenice & Salvatore

Fantastic experience and Luca with his sympathy and simplicity makes it even more beautiful.

Wonderful experience, beyond expectations. Luca is attentive to his guests, he knows how to involve people making the holiday dynamic and never boring. Scrupulous in leading the boat, he always makes you feel safe. Experience to be repeated absolutely. Thanks Luca and thanks to my fellow adventurers
