The holiday was amazing!!! A group of new friends assorted very well (we were a group of crazy) and our skipper Marco a true adventure companion! Between laughter, dancing, singing, drinking, spatial landscapes and spaghetti garlic oil and chilli we spent an unforgettable week on board the boat Aria!! The only downsides is that we were not a real flotilla and that we always went motorized because there were problems with the sail. I also did not like the behavior of Alessandro who interfaced with our skipper and with us in a somewhat indelicate way ... remember that we are not children on a school trip! But fortunately we were always among ourselves and the harmony of our group was not affected. Definitely an experience to be repeated!

Fantastic week! I found myself very well with the whole group super nice and everyone in tune! Marco our skipper super kind, helpful and fun ! Our itinerary was very nice, I would have only avoided The stop in Capri, too much navigation to stay a few hours is not worth it. Unfortunately also for wind condition we did everything by motor, it would be important to adapt the itinerary according to the wind so that we live the sailing experience, for the rest everything super, I would do this holiday 1000 times, thanks again!

For me first sailing holiday... Wonderful holiday! I was lucky because I found fantastic travel companions. A special thanks also goes to the skipper Marco who made this holiday unforgettable, very nice! Unfortunately, always motor navigation causes problems with the sail. Another discordant note, Alessandro's attitude that has ruined several moments, unpleasant and excessive interventions. As for the itinerary, I would suggest eliminating Capri, many hours of navigation and little time to spend in Capri (it makes no sense)

THE WORST FLOTILLA !!!!!! Program: non-existent; we knew times, routes and stops only at the last. Aggregation between boats: not received; moments of sociality were very rare. Composition: it takes commitment to put 7 women and 1 man in the same boat. Mixed cabin: I think a possible embarrassment between man and woman has not even been hypothesized. Sailing aspect: we opened the sails only with the engine. Rada: exaggeratedly always too far from the coast. Boat: old-fashioned and noisy. Flotilla: We have almost always been alone. Batteries: problem already identified the previous week and not solved; result: 1/2 day lost in port. Ignition of the engine from standstill: due to the battery (replaced) undersized. Landings on land: completely non-existent any indication of where to eat and what to see. Creation of crews: 3 days before. Galley: discussed only after check-in. Covid: write that sheets, pillowcases and towels are not provided.

Definitely the worst flotilla experience I've ever had. Until 3 days before departure nothing was known. They made us bring sheets and towels from home. The program was secret and being able to steal some details was a challenge. They were able to create a crew of practically only women... And despite the fact that we were 3 boats, our Skipper always anchored us far from the others and there was not much way to socialize. The Skipper of "Aqua"... Despite his young age he was at times "gruff" as he called himself, and bestowed "reproaches" and dry answers that certainly contributed to making this experience unpleasant. Finally I hoped that going away with the Centro Roma vela, there was the possibility of sailing and instead we always went motorized. I will end by saying that due to the lack of maintenance of the boat, we lost half a day of vacation to replace the discharged batteries.

It was my first sailing experience and it was magical. I was very lucky with the crew, with whom a wonderful climate was established. However, there have been notes to improve. Our boat was Aqua (skipper Furio, Alessandro was on Aria and managed the general organization) and had battery problems so we often had to keep the engine running from a standstill which was not pleasant. The fridge worked consequently poorly and cooled little and then there was a problem with a trapdoor that we had to fix with crates of water. The bad weather made change the plans of the itinerary skipping Capri and also the coves of Ventotene where we were only at the port. Often the program of the day was not well known or it changed in progress and this is certainly an aspect to be improved. Due to bad weather we have sailed tendentially by motor and this is a pity.

Had a great time with Alessandro, boat (Aria) in excellent condition, quite comfortable, and the captain available prepared even in bad weather.

Alessandro skipper top!!! He managed the crew and the flotilla in general, although the weather did not row in favor. Aria led by Alex and

Positives: - I found myself well with all my travel companions and I was lucky enough to have come across a super crew, with whom great harmony was established right away. - The skipper Carlo was helpful and enthusiastic in teaching us curiosities and maneuvers of the sailboat. - The places we visited were suggestive, the skippers also take with the dinghy to explore caves and otherwise inaccessible places. Negatives: - The program was not respected, we missed the Capri stage due to the weather conditions. - I found our boat inadequate for the flotilla purpose: as we have been confirmed in fact it is a racing beard. Compared to the other boats they lacked some comforts and tools, and often the outside light did not work. I recommend giving uniform treatment to paying customers in terms of comfort. Overall positive experience that gave me a lot, and that I plan to repeat as soon as possible.

Although the weather was not the best, I am very satisfied with my first experience on the boat. To be redone!!! Well organized flotilla considering the unexpected. Our skipper Marco was always available and was committed to making this experience unique. Very prepared and patient. Thank you very much to all the crew.

Flotilla cruise organized by chief skipper Alex. Well organized even in the places where you stopped. Unfortunately the weather conditions have led to a slight change in the program but at sea this is normal. A praise to the skipper Marco who with a female crew at the top had to sweat 7 shirts to lead the boat .... . I gave a little help. See you soon...

Unfortunately the sea and the weather did not assist us, we did not do the program but it was a holiday of considerable human value, thanks to all the skippers for doing what cge could

Bad experience. It was a flotilla holiday and although our skipper Marco was very helpful and kind, Alessandro I would say that he was a really grumpy and unavailable person. Unfortunately my crew was not akin to my character and I expressed my perplexities to Alessandro, from the first day. The latter not only did nothing to remedy it, but responded by asserting that I was a child. I spent a hellish week. I was harassed by a rude person and yet he did nothing, claiming that the responsibility was mine! I will certainly never book with sailsquare again. Experience that define negative is reductive!

The places seen and the group of my boat were super. The fun was certainly not lacking. Too bad for everything else. Organization by Alessandro & co non-existent: hours (even with wind) with the Hope that in mid-August a place in very popular ports would be freed. We were on the ground for hours because no one could pick us up. Old and dilapidated boats that made the holiday difficult (only one bath in 9 and we were accused of breaking it when still at times we had not boarded the boat on day 0. We found out after that the bathroom was unusable already in the last days of the flotilla before our arrival). The worst point was precisely Alessandro, flotilla leader, a truly presumptive and -above all- unorganized person. Bad holiday saved only thanks to the group met and the beautiful views.

Particular holiday characterized by intra flotilla difficulties. Glu skipper did not have clear indications of what would be done and consequently the activities were communicated to the crew always too late and many times the times were chased or the programs other times changed at the last. One evening we went ashore to take a shower but in the marina there were no showers. no it was more possible to get back on board to do it on the boat because too late for dinner and we were reduced to going dog to the restaurant with unwashed costumes and with clothes bought in luck so as not to appear sloppy. In short, inadequate organization with flotilla leader in continuous conflict with the skippers. I would not repeat the experience. Only note the cohesive group of the boat and the skipper of our boat

A beautiful week among the Pontine islands. The skipper very prepared and attentive to the well-being of the people on board. Highly recommended holiday !

The skipper of this holiday was not Alessandro, but the legendary Silvio. A man of the sea, nice and patient who taught me to drop anchor and make maritime knots. I hope to take another trip with him soon. The organization could be improved. The boat had mainsail problems and we couldn't sail... on a sailing holiday should be the base. If there is no wind ok, if there is no sail then the boat should be repaired or replaced. Silvio tried to please us with the bow. But it's not the same thing. On the flotilla. I understand that accommodating the needs of all the crews is not easy, but if the holiday is sold in a flotilla you should tell the skippers to communicate and organize meetings and points where you are all together. For the rest for me an unforgettable experience especially thanks to my travel companions!

Great holiday, although there were only 3 of us the holiday was not cancelled and we managed to have good fun through. Our skipper, Silvio, was great, super nice and always available to accomodate our requests. Highly reccomended! Tizy

Organization at the top, it was the most beautiful sailing holiday I have done. Well organized team and amazing places. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience, exceptional skipper and staff. Very prepared and courteous always ready to satisfy every need. Cheerful and friendly they were able to cheer up all the days making us have fun and swim in fabulous waters. What about they organized me a birthday and a party for my super birthday, it seemed we were all long-time friends. Experience absolutely to be repeated
