A characteristic 60 foot gaff rigged schooner, built entirely of
wood and designed for an environmental awareness project on the
theme of plastic in the sea. Sailing with us means taking a step
back in time, it means trying those emotions that only history with
its traditions can give you. Lying on the deck, eyes closed, the
sun warming your face and feeling the gentle rolling of the boat
while safely plowing the water. Or imagine the satisfaction of
hoisting the mainsail hand over hand, together with two or three
other people, to the sound of "ooh issa! Oooohhh issaaa !!", just
as you have surely seen in movies of adventurers and pirates. With
its 36 tons and more than 200o square feet of sails, our schooner
guarantees you to make you live special and unforgettable moments,
of those moments that will remain etched in your memory and that
you will want to tell your children and your grandchildren.
Check out the crew!

A characteristic 18-meter schooner, with auricular sails, built entirely of wood and designed for an environmental awareness project on the theme of plastic in the sea. Surfing with us means taking a step back in time, it means trying those emotions that only history with its traditions can give you. Lying on the deck, eyes closed, the sun warming your face and feeling the gentle rolling of the boat while safely furrowing the water. Or imagine the satisfaction of hoisting the main mainsail with your arms, along with two or three other people, to the sound of "ooh issa! Oooohhh issaaa !!", just as you've surely seen in adventurer and pirate movies.
With its 36 tons of tonnage and more than 200 square meters of sails, our schooner guarantees you to make you live special and unforgettable moments, of those moments that will remain etched in your memory and that you will want to tell your children and your grandchildren.

Mi sono imbarcata su questa suggestiva Goletta Aurica dal 14 al 16 Agosto per una mini navigazione nell’Arcipelago Toscano Meridionale ed è stata un’esperienza unica ed altamente formativa. Francesco, supportato quando necessario dal giovanissimo Alejandro, coinvolge l’equipaggio in attività formative e, qualora lì reputi idonei, affida ai vari membri dell’equipaggio anche la guida dell’imbarcazione sempre sotto la sua supervisione. Inoltre, se si aderisce a questo tipo di esperienza, si ha la certezza di contribuire in maniera tangibile a mantenere attiva un’associazione che si occupa di sensibilizzare le persone sull’utilizzo consapevole della plastica. Per quanto mi riguarda ho imparato molto sui venti, i nodi e la navigazione a timone ed oltre ad aver nuotato in baie suggestive e condiviso momenti di sincera convivialità a bordo ho apprezzato ancora una volta la magia della navigazione a vela. CONSIGLIATISSIMO.
Abbiamo trascorso 6 gg su questa fantastica barca " ecologica" , in compagnia di Francesco e di suo figlio Alejandro, piacevoli compagni di viaggio.
Stare su questa barca è un viaggio nel viaggio, ti riporta alla consapevolezza del mondo in cui viviamo e come lo viviamo: consiglio a tutti di provare l' esperienza con mente e cuori aperti.
Buon viaggio!
Prima esperienza in barca a vela molto positiva, Francesco lo skipper suo figlio Alejandro ed Elisa molto competenti e simpatici, ottimi i compagni di viaggio Barca molto bella (un veliero) tutto legno e corde adatta per imparare a veleggiare, forse un po troppo spartana sotto coperta. Enzo e Rita
L'esperienza su un schooner è stata per tutti noi, unica, entusiarmente ed emozionante.
Una barca fatta a mano da un maestro d'ascia in Canada è una rarità... e Francesco una fonte preziosa di esperienze di vita e grande professionalità.
La barca tutta in legno e totalmente eco sostenibile (plastic free) si presenta all'interno molto essenziale.
Other important information
By train: station of arrival is Orbetello Monte Argentario, then
take a Tiemme bus to Porto Santo Stefano ( go on the website for
timetable). By car: from the south you can easily reach Orbetello
Monte Argentario, exit the SS1 and follow the signs to Porto Santo
Stefano. Coming from the north: exit SS1 at Albinia and follow road
signs for Giannella and Porto Santo Stefano. Once arrived at the
port contact me by mobile to get updated directions. I advise you
to bring rainproof clothing: at sea the weather can change
abruptly, do not use rigid suitcases in the boat spaces are
limited. If you think you suffer from seasickness you can buy
special tablets at the pharmacy.
