review about SAILING AND ENVIRONMENT - Tuscan Archipelago and Corsica - ALL INCLUSIVE July 2022

10 / 10

Excellent skipper and crew, of great competence, sympathy and availability. The boat, admired by everyone in port and at sea, represents a fascinating leap into the past of sailing. Designed and made in every detail to convey the emotions of the sea of the past, when the materials used for the construction of a boat, even large ones, were exclusively those coming directly from nature. For lovers of sailing, very little engine and many maneuvers with the sole force of the wind.

An experience above expectations. Francis welcomed us with availability and affection. I still remember with pleasure the long chats on the deck and the magnificent sailing. A special greeting also to Dario, an extraordinary sailor. I look forward to news about upcoming releases.

Beautiful experience on this very special boat, all in wood and zero plastic both inside and out. Francesco and his "sailors" are very kind, the island of Giglio is a nice discovery, and we found the "all inclusive" formula very apt, especially when you leave for a few days, as it takes away the burden of agreeing the galley between strangers but still leaves flexibility on what to prepare at the moment. Fun fact, wherever you go, with this boat you end up in the center of attention!

Captain Francesco together with his crew made us spend a wonderful weekend. He was very hospitable and to those interested he made his knowledge available to make the participants learn the maneuvers. Absolutely recommended!

Francesco welcomes us in a very hospitable way on his beautiful boat. The navigation was very pleasant, the fundamental decisions were shared. We have been given the opportunity to perform some simple maneuvers under his direction or that of the crew.

I recommend everyone to have an experience with Captain Francesco and his crew. Unique boat and lovely places. Francesco is a true man of the sea and gives the opportunity to anyone who wants to participate in the maneuvers and learn. I would do it again!

Francesco who makes you live in his boat an experience from the charm of other times, help him in the maneuvers done as in the past, from a feeling very different from today's boats. Great weekend too bad for the weather not forgiving.

We spent 6 days on this fantastic "ecological" boat, in the company of Francesco and his son Alejandro, pleasant travel companions. Staying on this boat is a journey within a journey, it brings you back to the awareness of the world in which we live and how we live it: I advise everyone to try the experience with an open mind and hearts. Safe travel!

review about Eco adventure on traditional aurica schooner in Tuscany August 2019

10 / 10

I embarked on this suggestive Schooner Aurica from 14 to 16 August for a mini navigation in the Southern Tuscan Archipelago and it was a unique and highly formative experience. Francesco, supported when necessary by the very young Alejandro, involves the crew in training activities and, if he considers them suitable there, entrusts the various crew members with the guidance of the boat always under his supervision. In addition, if you adhere to this type of experience, you have the certainty of contributing in a tangible way to keep active an association that deals with raising awareness of people on the conscious use of plastic. As for me, I learned a lot about winds, knots and rudder navigation and in addition to swimming in suggestive bays and sharing moments of sincere conviviality on board I once again appreciated the magic of sailing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

First experience on a very positive sailboat, Francesco the skipper his son Alejandro and Elisa very competent and nice, excellent travel companions Very nice boat (a sailing ship) all wood and ropes suitable for learning to sail, perhaps a little too spartan below deck. Enzo and Rita
