Wonderful Experience!!! What about Francesco is an excellent skipper as well as a fantastic person always available to please his crew made us spend unforgettable moments always attentive in the choices excellent cook also prepared delicious dishes!!! Her beautiful vagabond is a comfortable boat that knows how to pamper you during the trip and stay nothing is missing if you love her she will love you! We will soon return further for the wonderful holiday also to find a friend THANK YOU FRANCESCO

Under the expert guidance of the "Captain", we have navigators island by island, pausing to visit beautiful seaside villages, wandering from bay to bay, lingering in bays and pristine coves, to admire unforgettable sunsets. We also appreciated francesco's remarkable culinary skills, savoring delicious fish dishes, caught along the way.

Francesco is an excellent commander. He loves his boat and knows how to pamper his guests. He cooks delicious dishes and knows places unknown to most, where he leads you to make sure that you can live an unforgettable experience. The spirit of adaptation, however, is fundamental in this type of journey. The variables at play are different. You have to rely on the skipper in every situation to avoid problems.

With Francesco the success of the holiday is assured. He led us with experience and expertise in the seas of Sardinia and Corsica as only a skilled seaman can do, organizing the days impeccably and never taken for granted. The boat is kept in perfect condition and is very comfortable. Absolutely suggested.

Francesco Skipper competent and experienced. Boat cared for and perfectly in clean order. You will be in safe hands. Perfectly everything under control and organized, often too much to leave no room for initiatives and needs of the group. Personal initiatives sometimes little in tune with the balance but more with their own. The holiday was still beautiful for the fantastic group of friends that was created.

Fantastic travel companions create an unforgettable holiday. Very beautiful places and dream coves with transparent water. The boat is perfectly maintained and well equipped, very comfortable.

Thank you Captain! Warm welcome on board! With Francesco you can sail quietly and safely. Thanks to the Captain I visited wonderful coves with crystal clear waters. I thank the wonderful cruise companions because with them I lived The Perfect Holiday !!! (..... as Paco said)

Great man, wise passionate about his work, gives confidence to his crew. Excellent cook, in a small space and with few ingredients manages to create spectacular dishes. The places he showed us are one more beautiful than the other.

I can't say anything about Francesco and the experience... My partner and I didn't leave anymore... we arrived at 18 precise for boarding ... and there Francesco tells us that the boat was fully booked because 2 people from Milan had booked just before and would arrive at 22.... we met 2 others who would have made the trip with us... it does not seem normal to me that if the boarding is from 18 to 19, half the crew can arrive at 22 ... It was our first sailing experience and for sure we had different expectations regarding the crowding and space... 9 people in 14 meters with 2 bathrooms are too many for me... SKIPPER ANSWER: Thank you Monica for the time dedicated to review me even if you did not leave with me, I understand that the first time you get on a sailboat, if the expectations are those of a hotel the disappointment is so much, it is true the guests arrived at various times but between doing the galley and putting everything in place we did not notice the delays in fact at 21 we left for the night and arrived in capraia you slept in the harbor very well. I let you know that there are boats of 11 and 12 meters that have the same places that I offer in 14 meters. I advise you for the first time to rent the boat all to yourself so you can understand if the environments can be shared with other people. It was nice highlighted the capacity of the boat having 4 cabins there are 8 beds it is logical that those who are alone must adapt to sleep with a person who does not know but in all these years I guarantee you that the most beautiful holidays are those full boat and all unknown even today many groups write and organize meetings. Dear Monica I'm sorry that your first outing is over before you even try maybe for fear of being tight or sharing the bathroom with other people I had also given you the bow cabin which is gigantic. Rest at your disposal to make you experience the emotion of the boat is to share the joys with others. But it takes a bit of collaboration. Good wind to all boat lovers is souls to be together in perhaps small spaces. Long live the sailboat. Francis

Francesco is a man of the sea and a man of the world, he has the right experience to make you spend the best holiday in any condition and at the same time he has the enthusiasm and spirit of a little boy. Thank you Captain !

Francesco is "the captain" par excellence: expert sailor and instructor, always available and kind, welcoming, superfine cook, connoisseur of beautiful sites and story tellers. I couldn't ask for anything better! p.s. the aperitif with oysters and champagne I will never forget!

Perfection on earth does not exist. But we get very close.

We can definitely confirm all the previous reviews. Francesco is a skipper prepared, attentive, helpful, kind to us and to the children, nice, excellent cook. He gave us a lot of information about sailing and the places visited. He told us so many anecdotes and always knew what was the best place to stop. He welcomed us in his boat (clean and comfortable) as if we were his family. And we also confirm that he is very good at playing the guitar!!!! Thanks Francis!!!!

I could not find better in this wonderful holiday Francesco is an attentive and scrupulous Skipper, always ready and available, and what to say a fantastic group, thanks Francesco and surely we will see you soon ????

Francesco is passionate and smiling and is able to involve and put at ease all his crew. We visited coves and beautiful beaches, ate and drank and did a lot of sailing! Thank you Francesco for the beautiful week! :)

First experience of multiple days on the boat, I couldn't ask for better. Skipper really on the piece and courteous, made us feel comfortable right away. Unforgettable crew both as people and for the moments of celebration we lived. #partyanimals #serendipity

Francesco is an exceptional skipper, competent and able to convey tranquility in every situation. Person of great company, always made us feel very welcome.

A great "Merci!" to this captain who made us discover beautiful places, who never tired of sharing life on the boat with us and with whom we had a lot of fun - also thanks to the fact that in every situation it was he, the commandant on board!! Fantastic holiday; thank you very much Francesco!

Francesco is a wonderful Skipper, nice, helpful, singer, player and much more. This was my first experience in Sailing and I know right now that it will not be the last. Francesco managed to put us at ease making us feel immediately part of his crew. He allowed us to see enchanting places and make aperitifs in the most unthinkable places thanks to his flexibility and availability. He delighted us with sublime dishes. It was a wonderful holiday. Thank you Captain! See you soon! Rocchina (Italy)

There is "the skipper"... and then there is Francesco who has an extra gear: excellent commander, competent tour guide, eclectic and helpful cook, musician entertainer and scientific popularizer. A week on his Vagabonda is a guarantee of safety and relaxation. Francesco, in fact, is a deep connoisseur of the places where you sail, he knows how to manage always safely, as well as the boat, also the interpersonal dynamics that are created with strangers of different ages, different feedings and varied navigation experiences .; this is how even the small (and very rare) moments of misunderstanding or tension are tempered with so much education and availability. On his boat you often feel really pampered and the holiday inexorably becomes a holiday to ..."five stars" and inevitably the greetings at the end of the holiday become a "goodbye!"
