There are experiences that you remember and others that remain in your heart. Our week aboard this beautiful 18-meter wooden ketch definitely belongs to the second category. For me and my 11-year-old daughter it was the first experience on a sailing boat. We boarded with curiosity and a hint of fear, but after a few hours we felt part of something special. The boat, magnificently maintained, conveys all the timeless charm of traditional navigation and every detail tells a story and gives emotions that can hardly be found elsewhere. The weather was not always on our side and did not allow us to complete the originally planned lap. This has not diminished the value of the experience in the slightest and what we will take with us will not be so much the destinations reached, but the moments lived at sea, the wind in the sails, the shared sunsets, the laughter, the sense of freedom and that wonderful feeling of being away from the noise of the world. A huge credit goes to Daniele and his wife Maria Pia, extraordinary people who with professionalism, availability and great humanity have made this adventure unforgettable. Daniele is an extremely knowledgeable and safety-conscious skipper, but what really sets him apart is his ability to engage every person on board. He doesn't just steer the boat: he makes you feel part of the crew, explaining, teaching and sharing his passion with infectious enthusiasm. I think I asked a few hundred questions and he always found the time and patience to answer them clearly, completely and cordially, turning every curiosity into a discovery. A special thanks also goes to Maria Pia, for her delicious lunches, the snacks always appreciated and prepared with care, but above all for her discreet and reassuring presence. Of those people who never try to be the center of attention and who for this reason manage to create harmony, serenity and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. It has contributed in a silent but fundamental way to making us feel at home, even in the middle of the sea. Finally, a big hug to our travel companions. It is surprising how in certain contexts people stop being strangers almost immediately. After five minutes we were already companions in adventure, and after a few days friends. Also thanks to them, this experience has become something much bigger than a simple holiday. At the end of the journey we went ashore with the feeling of having lived an experience capable of exciting and igniting a new passion. Thank you Daniele and Maria Pia for opening the doors of your world and your boat to us!! . We return home with the certainty that this will not be the last time sailing... ⛵❤️🌊

A wonderful experience, Daniele and Mariapia thanks to their professionalism and courtesy, as well as sympathy. They put the whole group on the boat at ease. The coves visited were a surprise every day, truly an unforgettable holiday. Thank you 1000!

For me it was the first experience on a sailing boat. All absolutely fantastic. I fully subscribe to what Marco C wrote. Thank you Daniele, thank you Mariapia, thank you to all the participants for the great company!

Fantastic experience, far beyond our expectations. Daniele and Mariapia were exceptional, nice, quiet, easy-going. Always professional in driving the boat, in managing the cruise, in preparing excellent lunches, dinners, breakfasts, aperitifs, in always putting everyone at ease. The boat is perfect for living outside, with its wonderful teak deck and deckhouse equipped with large cushions for resting; Spaces just a little smaller below deck, but an 18-meter is still comfortable. The places (Corsica and Capraia) are also beautiful, including historic villages, blue sea, white beaches, lagoons to explore with SUPs and large rocks to swim with a thousand fish. Excellent cruise, recommended both for those who have already done it and for those who are at their first experience. Thank you Daniele, thank you Mariapia.
