Brief description of the holiday

The sea, the sun, people with a seafaring spirit and hospitality will leave us amazed!

I will take you to discover truly magical places, some of which can only be reached by sea and away from mass tourism.
We will sail in the District of the Tuscan Archipelago according to the weather conditions; if the conditions are favorable, we will be able to choose to sail also between the island of Giannutri , the one to the south, or that of Corsica the one to the north.
In the middle, the island of the Emperor, Elba and the island of Giglio ..
The coast of the Argentario Promontory then has wonderful scenery! We will be able to choose between these destinations to put in place the ideal holiday!

Every day we will have fun in a beautiful sea, then we will sail to reach the most beautiful bays where every night we will breathe the purity of the healthy air that surrounds us.
There will be wonderful toasts at all sunsets , and accompanied by good music we will dance together!

From the "wishing well" of a wonderful boat we can't ask for more !! A strange feeling will surround us and only at home will we understand what sort of beneficial magic has accompanied us throughout the holiday!

Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing, sup, sea scooters or trolling banana boats . Those who want to relax will find ample space on board to sunbathe in the hammock and go home with a first tan that will already envy!

Among the new equipment on board you will find solar panels , which will allow us to be autonomous without having to stop in the port during the night and a watermaker that will allow us to purify the sea water and always have drinking water on board. Last but not least, our philosophy on board is plastic free!

Galley and meals:
During this cruise, on board with me you will also find my 15 year old son, who has always sailed with me and who will help us with sports and entertainment equipment, and my wife, who will take care of the preparation of meals . As for the galley you don't have to worry about anything: once the group is formed I will contact you and take care of the shopping and fish personally, buying it from trusted fishermen from the port of San Vincenzo, which will be paid once on board . During the week, if we are lucky enough to catch some tuna, I will do everything possible to delight you with fresh dishes or sushi (also thanks to the blast chiller on board!)

Do you want to start dreaming this unforgettable week? Take a look at the video and find out what it means to sail with us!

The boat

Beaufort 18 C.n. Essor Du Midi Tolone

cabins: 5
toilets: 4

length: 17,75m
year: 1973 - Refit 2021

1973 boat that 1dergoes major refits every year so as to look very yo1g!

Truly comfortable thanks to the generous flat teak deck free from maneuvers and equipment and with a fully mat3ssed area, there is plenty of space for up to 12 people.

It is suitable for cruising for every1, adults and children. He has a very sweet step on the wave and expresses his solidity in every situation.

The kitchen is equipped with a 3-burner stove and gas oven.
A large cockpit refrigerator and a refrigerated area for storing water and drinks.

The wood offers an internal habitability without annoying condensation.

The guest cabins are 4 cabins and are arranged as follows: In the 100er 2 double cabins each served by its own --hidden-- can be accessed independently from the outside or by passing internally from another cabin to a large cabin with a double bed and 2 single beds, 1 of which superimposed on the double bed served by the bathroom.

Continuing, independently from the outside or through another cabin, you always access the last cabin obtained from the calavele with a slightly smaller bed suitable for 2 not very tall people (max 175 cm) also served by the bathroom.

Aft behind the correspondence is the captain's cabin and in the generous dinette on the port side there is accommodation with dividers for the crew's double cabin.

The boat is super-equipped: 120 liter freezer solar panels desalinator as well as a 90lt fridge, water purifier, 4.30 m 10der with 40hp 4-stroke engine, (it allows you to never go to port and go down comfortably with any sea without getting wet ); equipped with various awnings, sofas for the s1, 2 sup, water skis, wake board, 1 wind surf, and 2 electric sea scooters.

The independence given by solar panels means that you never have to enter the port to recharge the batteries.
The independence given by the desalinator means that you can have all the water you want available (within the limits of reasonableness and at10tion) without ever having to enter the port to refuel.

The well-maintained boat has already d1 a world tour and 4 Atlantic crossings in the past and we are preparing it for the new world tour starting in 7ember 2022 !!

Really great skipper! Daniele made us all feel at ease (even those who had never been on a sailboat) and made us spend 1 wonderful weekend full of travel stories, swimming in front of the Coast of Elba and really good food (Daniele is also 1 excellent cook). Beautiful experience that I would do again immediately!

Beautiful holiday. Daniele, Pia and Andrea made us feel at home. Strengths: Daniele's love for the sea and the desire to share information / knowledge with guests, Pia with her smile and her tasty healthy and light dishes able to conquer all palates, the generous spaces of Kikko and the finishes that make it very welcoming and original, the comfortable sunbeds on which you can sunbathe in super relaxation or look at the stars, the sup and the canoe on board available to guests that allow you to explore the bays where you stop .... all precious ingredients that made the holiday unique and unforgettable. Thanks :-)

Daniele skipper prepared and always available to the needs of the "strict" group as it should be in enforcing the rules Of the boat and during navigation. Congratulations also to his wife Pia for everything he has prepared in the kitchen and congratulations extended to his son Andrea for the help he gave x all the holiday

It was an unforgettable week aboard Kikko, a wonderful boat, very spacious and kept like a jewel, which exudes the passion for the sea that only three fantastic people like Daniele, Mariapia and Andrea can infuse. Daniele is an excellent captain, with him you always feel in good hands, thanks to his experience and his ability to keep the situation under control with a smile on his face. Mariapia is an exceptional cook, she delighted us throughout the week with dishes that are always different and able to satisfy everyone's tastes. Andrea is a very nice guy who at sea, despite his young age, has experience to sell. Together, they make an exceptional trio but above all a sweet family that makes all guests feel at home and in total relaxation. For lovers of water sports, the boat is super equipped and you can experience wonderful places in an even more adventurous way. Thank you for this wonderful experience! Elisa and Michele

Amazing holiday, tailor-made for our group by Daniele, who is an attentive and caring skipper (words of our daughter Vittoria, 9 years old). Every moment of the day (from navigation to meals, from life at anchor to excursions) has been taken care of for the fun and well-being of children and adults. A huge thank you to Daniele and Kikko for the special way we experienced the sea!

Daniele and his wife MariaPia are two extraordinary people, really helpful. You feel pampered in every way, but above all Daniele is a reliable skipper who always makes you feel safe. Nothing is left to chance.

The sailing experience with Daniele and Pia was beautiful. It was our first time on the boat and they managed to make us love this kind of holiday. A week full of wonderful places, fun and great food. I highly recommend her!

Great experience and family holiday. Daniele, the skipper, governs the boat with great professionalism taking care of the safety and enjoyment of the guests. Pia, his wife, runs the galley ensuring that every day on the table everything is perfect and good. Andrea, the son supports the parents in the maneuvers and entertainment of the guests who, on a beautiful and comfortable boat, have at their disposal all kinds of equipment to entertain adults and children. In short, a real dream team for a perfect holiday, especially with children. The only flaw of the week was the bad weather that prevented us from reaching the coveted Corsica, but the sea is not commanded and thanks to the dream team nothing was missing because the holiday was just EXCELLENT. If possible I will come back with my daughter (or alone) again with them!

Perfect holiday in every detail. I've been taking boat holidays for over 10 years and I think it's the best holiday I've had. Daniele is a skipper and an exceptional person, Pia wife and unsurpassed cook and Andrea the son excellent help at all times. Beautiful people and great professionals. Attentive to the needs of guests and in a very natural way they put 200% to make you spend your best holiday. With the children then they are a show, they involve them, they make them respect the rules of the boat and the sea and take them to heart. The boat is a spectacular 18 meters, stable, comfortable and with incredible livability. I can only give 5/5 but Daniele and his family deserve much more. Thanks again for everything Daniele & Family, we will definitely see you soon.

Great experience. Daniele is an experienced skipper and a man who knows how to listen, understand who is in front of him, and act with kindness and firmness. With him you can spend a peaceful holiday, learning to sail, or simply letting yourself be carried away by his beautiful and well-equipped boat with trees. And if that's not enough, he's a great cook. Thanks Daniel, I'll be back! Stephen

Hospitality, passion and attention to detail make the experience with Daniele a perfect mix between the freedom of the sailboat, top equipment (including slicer ;-) ) and the comforts of a 5-star hotel ... if everything is combined with a super nice crew you will live unforgettable days. A hug from Cristian & Paolo

Of course on vacation you are from god .. But experience on the Kikko sailboat was superb. Daniele the skipper is a very professional person who hugs and pampers his host and makes them feel at home. Breakfast, lunch, aperitifs, all at the ????!!! There's even the slicer... What a must!!! Too nice. Thanks Daniele, the experience of this holiday is to be redone. You knew how to create a nice group to make a beautiful trip where we had a great time. You also made us a sailing master and I learned: lascare, the mainsail, the bow, the boom, the turns!!! Thanks again great Daniel!!!

If I had to describe in 2 words the weekend on the boat with Daniele would be: a dream! But that's not enough.. it was truly an unforgettable weekend. Daniele beyond his professionalism, competence and sympathy made us feel immediately at our age - a fantastic person! His boat is cared for down to the smallest detail. We were pampered with delicious aperitifs and gourmet meals ... then not to forget ... where there is a sailboat with a slicer on board... ?!?? This weekend far exceeded all my expectations. Thanks Daniele! Thanks to the super company! To be repeated absolutely!

Really super holiday! as a first boat experience I was a bit doubtful ... but once on board I immediately found myself at ease. Daniele is an excellent skipper, always very attentive to what you do and how you do it, a fantastic host, an excellent cook (I still have in my mouth the taste of tuna made by him ...). it was a really relaxing holiday, spent in great company. Thank you Definitely recommended!

This holiday was truly regenerating: Daniele has the gift of making everyone feel at ease, both those who have experience of navigation and those who go up for the first time. He knows how to read people and situations, understanding how to create a nice climate in the group. Great experience and particular attention to those details that make a holiday unique: fun and safety in navigation, maximum care of the beautiful boat, passion for technology (even videos with the drone!) and taste in proposing local flavors (hams, pecorino, vermentino and a moving tuna: all created in the small kitchen, but equipped with everything, even the slicer!). A special person for two amazing days, thanks Daniele!

Very nice and well prepared. His stories and adventures at sea have made us passionate about the world on a boat. Too bad we didn't have the tender that weekend, we could have had more fun... Advised!

great professionalism, friendliness, availability, hospitality. Super recommended skipper!

Daniele, in addition to being an excellent professional, manages to convey to guests his passion for the sea involving everyone with joy.

Weekend on a sailing boat in the name of carefree, thanks to the sea, the sun, the company and the excellent cuisine. Worthy of praise the skipper Daniele, always available, patient, and attentive to the needs of all of us. First experience on a magical and positive sailboat. Daniele made us fall in love with the world of boating and sailing in particular. The only suggestion is to specify the desired level, then the expected cost, of the galley.

Two days on the boat... all very nice.. The skipper Daniele is really professional gave us so many notions about life on the boat ... always attentive to our needs.... excellent cook (says a restaurateur????) ... its boat is well equipped and is equipped with all the comforts to live in the middle of the sea ... Surely my next boat holiday I will contact Daniele again...

Other important information

Guys do not carry trolley, only soft bags , otherwise it will be difficult to stow them. Bring few things and only essential, often you bring a lot of things on board which turn out to be only useless.

Put in your bag a lot of light-heartedness and a great desire to have fun . I wait for you on Saturday evening at the port where we could inaugurate the evening in one of the many small places in the country, we will settle down by boat and get to know each other; the next morning we will set sail for our unforgettable weekend. On Friday evening around 17/18 we will return to the port to say goodbye.

How to reach San Vincenzo?
You can get there comfortably by car or train: the train station is located a few hundred meters from the port. If you arrive by plane, you can refer to the Pisa airport.
