Do you like sailing? All seasons are good, come and enjoy the crisp air, the sun that is pure pleasure, amazing sunrises and sunsets and the intimacy of sharing a boat and the passion of going to sea.
Let yourself be surprised by the sensations of leaving the pier, going out to sea, sailing, by the chatter of the waves, by the stories whispered by the wind, by the colors of the sea, by the vegetation and scents of the island of Elba.
The base is Punta Ala, for 2 days the destination is Elba. “Impossible marine weather conditions? We recover on the first free date ”.

Ivo is a capable skipper and a nice and sunny person. Even with challenging sea conditions he showed experience and excellent management of the situation. Great Ivo!
Ivo person of great character, who passes seamlessly from company jokes to pearls of wisdom, always demonstrating incredible hospitality for those in his boat. Moreover, superfine cook.
The boat is exciting, even in its "just" ten meters it gives emotions that make the heart beat.
Experience HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A holiday different from the usual linked mainly to direct contact with the sea. Great experience . Ivo is truly a dragger a great navigator who allowed me to discover the secrets and dangers of this wonderful place: the sea in all its facets and above all I lived in full how to live in this world on a sailboat. Ivo is also an excellent cook did not miss absolutely nothing even his support in the moments (which there were) of difficulty, always very shrewd and attentive Thanks Ivo you made me discover a world that I did not know thanks to your support and sympathy and availability
Ivo is a skipper, as well as a travel companion, exceptional! He is engaging, manages to create the right atmosphere in the group, and is attentive to everyone's needs. I always felt safe and in very good hands. Excellent cuisine, even with fish caught in navigation. Beautiful holiday
Great first time on a sailing boat!
We spent two special days between the stories of Ivo, great host, and the wonderful view around the Island of Elba. We were lucky enough to share this experience with two other equally great people so I can only be very grateful!
Fantastic and unforgettable weekend.. this experience becomes even more beautiful thanks to the presence of Ivo, a person as exquisite as his aperitifs and meals prepared on board, simple but good like him. He manages to convey his great passion for sailing and to fully involve you, especially with his incredible stories. It was our first time on a sailboat and we completely relied on his advice and he totally satisfied us, taking care of us and taking us to beautiful places and beaches. An experience that at least once in a lifetime must be done.
Two unforgettable days at sea. Thanks to Ivo who allowed us to savor the magic of wind and waves. Fun and friendly, able to convey his passion to the point that we were enchanted. Definitely an experience to try!
Fantastic weekend in the company of the energetic and nice skipper Ivo. He was able to convey the pleasure of a weekend on a boat between sea, beach and island of Elba.
I add excellent sailing teacher for enthusiasts!
So much energy after this holiday... wildly beautiful and in contact with the sea that has also lulled us favoring great sleeps. Good wind captain and thank you for sharing sympathy and passion for sailing?
Ivo allows you to fully experience the spirit of the boat by transmitting a great passion, has involved us in the various activities and has shown great kindness and care towards us participants. We always ate on the boat and always great. Experience to be repeated!!
Beautiful experience these two days on Elba with a skipper extremely helpful and attentive to everyone's needs. Ivo is an extraordinary connoisseur of these places and a very good chef: we immediately felt in excellent hands and also pampered. Only regret (in addition to the lack of wind, which prevented us from sailing more): the short duration of this holiday! Thanks again, Ivo.
Bravo Ivo, beautiful your Van de Stadet, noble steel vessel.
I learned a lot more about sailing in two days than in months of courses... and in the end I even kept the course..
Highly recommended experience!

So much sympathy and competence . Experience that I recommend to those who are not only looking for a sailing experience but ... much more! A life lesson! Thank you Ivo for your fantastic energy!
Great Ivo. Definitely an added value to the holiday. Sailing is a wonderful experience to try at least once in a lifetime. Highly recommended. And many greetings to Ugo and Gino!!!!
Ivo has proved to be a true professional both in navigation and in the management of decisions in difficult moments (uncertainty of the weather, support towards us at the first experience with moments of seasickness, flexibility in modifying the program of the trip according to our needs and corcistanze).
He was also a great guide and pleasant company even during visits and meals.
It was a very pleasant experience that I would recommend you to try
GREAT AVAILABILITY on the part of Ivo in POSTPONING the date of the weekend by ALMOST A YEAR due to bad weather and personal preferences. IVO is a perfect person who meets the needs of the group he hosts on his Belgian flag boat. In addition to having the right character, Ivo also has a great experience both human and sailing, but above all a boundless passion for sailing. The WEEKEND was windy at the right point. We were at the first experience, but with the desire to sail as much as possible, and Ivo was super willing to do it and teach us the instructions to help him: in this way we did only 2 hours of engine! Simple but sufficient galley, clear nights, right comfort for a boat and for 2 days. Proper cleanliness.
Recommended experience ;D
Thanks Ivo! Good Wind!
Very interesting weekend for us who were at the first experience ... Ivo knows how to convey very well the love for his boat and the passion behind sailing... excellent lunches and aperitifs prepared on the edges! it was a nice experience that we would gladly do again!!
First boat experience and if we hadn't had Ivo as skipper it definitely wouldn't have been the same. Ivo allows you to fully experience the spirit of the boat, not only making you participate, but also transmitting that strong passion for boating.
Thank you for these 2 days together, we had a great time and we will definitely see you again soon.
Good wind to you!
