Great holiday, memories for a lifetime. Riki was a brilliant skipper, very patient and helpful. Brought us to wonderful places to visit and to stay overnight.

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. At first was a bit sceptical, because I was the only Croatian among all Italians who I never met before but as soon as we met I understood I made the right decision. Amazing crew, great program and lots of fun and partying. Met fabulous people and made a lifelong friends which I am extremely grateful for. Magical experience! Thank you so much CrazySail for an unforgettable holiday!

First sailing holiday, super fun and to be repeated!

Max knows how to entertain his guests!!! A perfect mix of seriousness, professionalism and fun. I recommend him and his initiatives for those who want to live a balance between parties, relaxation, good company and navigation in safety ... with some "arrogant" mooring!

We had an incredible week with Piero and Giuseppina from start to finish. Swimming in crystal blue waters, exploring quiet coves, reading our books on the back of the boat, or playing cards with everyone on board over a beer - it was a week from heaven! Piero was keen to get us involved in the sailing (including the all important anchor), and coming back after a swim to incredible lunches and dinners by Giuseppina - we will never forget our trip, and are very grateful. Scopa!!!

Alberto is everything you could want for a catamaran holiday: attentive navigator, starred chef, speaker prepared at 360 'and not least the host available and supportive from every point of view! Highly recommended and to be repeated!

Thank you Tullio and fellow travellers/sailors for a truly wonderful experience! We visited many idillic islands and bays around the Dalmatian and sailed on the not so high seas!!! Bottoms up! Andy x

Fabrizio and his yacht were not the skipper or yacht. It was replaced by Marco and a 46 Bavaria. A 44 or 46 while sleeping 8 would be too crowded. Water tanks ran out and we were 6. This will effect cost, if have to refill. Do not recommend 8 on a yacht this size. 6 was perfect. Mattresses could use upgrade. Didn’t sleep well because they were very hard. Accommodation ok, not luxury. Combusa basic. Crew filled in with what we wanted, paid extra. Beautiful scenery, great crew, had a memorable time. Would do again. Marco worked hard, enjoyed the trip

Eberything went so nicely well! Francesco is always there yo make sure everything goes smoothly. His navigational experience has no comparisons! Plus he knew the best places to visit and eat in all our stops..just a heavenly trip! Would highly reccomend!!!

Superb experience! Well organized, good equipment, very good selection of itinerary, great staff, fantastic crew. Can definitely be highly recommended and will repeat in the future.

Sandro was hospitable and kind from the first moment. The days are spent between sailing, chatting, fishing and relaxation. He showed us some of his favorite coves and shared his stories with us. Nice understanding both with him and with the rest of the group. A very pleasant week. See you next time for sure

it was a great unexpected experience. everything is well organized and work smooth. Davide was a great skipper and with Fabiana's support was immediately able to create a great group with the crew. i personally enjoyed every moment of this holiday and would definitely recommend it.

A perfect day with Emanuel He did everything to make our day memorably perfect. We’ll never forget our wonderful day Thankyou Capt Emanuel.

Leonardo was an impeccable skipper! Right from the start he proved to be an expert Captain: always attentive to the sea, to the wind conditions, to the well-being of the crew. Leonardo was not just a skipper. He introduced us to his great passion for sailing, he made us fall in love with the sea, the breathtaking sunsets, the authentic experiences.

Marco is a great skipper. We spent time very nice. Fantastic way to discover the beauty of Elba and the sea.

This was our first sailing trip and we had a great time with Carlo on his boat Red Erik. Carlo was a great skipper trying to get everyone involved in various tasks including steering the boat. He gives great tips and his main Credo was that sailing is about finding the best 'compromise'. He looked after the well being of everyone without being too intrusive. The boat is well equipped and the kitchen and fridges worked very well.

Traveling with Alessandro you immediately perceive the passion he puts into what he does, managing to transmit it to the whole crew. Extremely prepared and constantly available for excursions to discover caves and beautiful coves. With great care he keeps the boat impeccably, managing at the same time to be a great travel companion. I can only recommend it to anyone!

Nice course. I learned so many things. Very kind and pleasant also the team on the ground.

Alessandro is a highly qualified skipper with an excellent knowledge of the area. He organised a wonderful week-long trip , and prepared delicious meals for us day after day. Throughout the holiday he was very flexible, and adapted the programme to our needs.

That of Roberto is a charming, comfortable boat with plenty of space in the galley and multiple areas on the deck to sit / lay and relax. The itinerary took us to some amazing bays, coves and secluded beaches all with picturesque scenery and crystal blue waters. Most evenings we had dinner in very good tavernas enabling us to sample some of the finest fresh fish available in the Ionian Sea! Then finishing the day off by sleeping under the stars

My wife, son and I had such a wonderful day with Daniele, his wife Carmen, their son Edouardo and two other travellers. The day was very relaxing. We swam in the sea, fed fish, and ate lovely food made by Carmen. We even got to "skipper" the boat for a bit. Edouardo and my son didn't speak the same language but they got on well. Edouardo is such a nice boy and it made the day even more enjoyable for my son. I thoroughly recommend this trip. Thank you, Daniele.

We spend amazing week on the boat. The crew were great and we were lucky with the weather. Andrea is very experienced and knowledgeable skipper, he showed us to hidden places on islands and on the sea. Everything was organized well, from moorings to bookings in restaurants, the trip was quiet and relaxing. The skipper and the itinerary are highly recommended!

Andrea is a technically prepared and attentive schipper. Throughout the trip I felt safe. He was also very helpful during ground and return transport. The boat is clean. The itinerary starts and returns to Boukari skipping in fact 2 stages on even foot. From Sunday to Wednesday the program is nice. Thursday, on the other hand, with docking and evening of Greek dances is part of that mass tourism that I would have absolutely liked to avoid. Not entering the port we could not use the air conditioning, without which it is often very difficult to sleep in the cabin. There is always a dog on board I would have preferred this information to be more evident. When we booked the final disinbarco it was possible until 12.00. 2 days before departure Andrea told us that the disembarkation would be at 07.00 in the morning and so it was. At 07.05 we were on the ground without even a glass of water. Too bad. Overall a nice experience.

Thank you Alberto for a wonderful trip to Sardinia and Maddalena islands. We had a great time visiting many beautiful beaches in the area. Alberto was very friendly, attentive and flexible to our needs. Unfortunately we did not get to visit Bonifacio as the marina was full. So if you want to go there, make sure to book well in advance.

The sailing experience with Antony was really nice! He is a truly professional skipper and just a great person with incredible sense of humor :) He cares about his guests very much, we spent a week on the boat just enjoying sailing, swimming and beautiful landscapes! Highly recommend to everyone ????

Piero and Giuseppina are the most wonderful hosts and I can most warmly recommend a trip with them. Great sailing experience, delicious food and expert knowledge of the area allowed us to stay in the most pristine bays of Northern Sardinia. We joined as a small family with our baby of 4 months. Piero and Giuseppina did everything to accommodate our special circumstances and became a nonna and nonno to our daughter.

Alberto was a great skipper that was very flexible in meeting our needs. We had a lovely trip sailing around Sardinia and Corsica, during which Alberto was always willing to teach us all about sailing. Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing family vacation around the Cyclades islands with Max and Cori this summer. Knowledgeable and accommodating at all times, they made our week with them the best and most memorable ever. They know the best islands, local tavernas, beautiful private beaches and coves. They even taught my husband how to sail and allowed me and my daughter to take the wheel. The whole week we spent with them was unforgettable, the food delicious and we can’t wait to do it again!

A fantastic week away with Andrea and the other crew members. Island hopping for a week was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Met some lovely people on board, who are now friends. The skipper was always in control and very knowledgable about each of the stops we made, and took us to some great locations for swimming and evening meals ashore. The days were spent sailing between islands, with lots or time to relax! diving off the boat into the sea, eating delicious lunches and dinners onboard, and laughing over a glass of wine. I would happily recommend Andrea and his boat for anyone be wishing to take a lazy week aboard, to relax, make new friends, while seeing stunning scenery and enjoying the Italian Islands.

The memories from the week spent with Gabriella and Nicola on their boat will stay with us forever! Gabriella is not only a skillful skipper but also a mum who knows how to engage and (when necessary) keep in check children of all ages. Nicola was a great companion for our 2 children, they had great fun together on the boat and on shore! The played board games, snorkelled, dived and fished together. It was beautiful to witness. The places Gabriella suggested for us to visit were spectacular and she always recommended things to do based on our interests and moods. The entire week was planned together with great flexibility on Gabriella's part. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gabrilella and Nicola if you are looking for a truly unique experience! Grazie Gabriella e Nicola!

I just enjoyed 2 weeks sailing in Norway. The captain and first mate have to be the most experienced sailors you will ever meet so you feel totally confident. Circumnavigators, Northwest Passage, Northeast Passage, and very pleasant, intelligent people! And the food was outstanding. What more could you ask for an adventure holiday?

Edu really went out of his way to make everyone feel at home. Great trip. Would highly recommend it.

Great Trip! 10/10 would recommend. Perfect if you are looking for a relaxing sailing week with delicious meals and cocktails prepared by the friendly Filippo and Nando. The itinerary was well planned to fit in the best of Ibiza and Formentera and spend the nights in quiet bays.

Nicola is a great skipper and he helped us join the sailing community in the Aeolian Islands. Every day was great. We met many fellow lovers of sailing. Nicola knows the Islands well and he gave us great advice on things to see on each island. We are trying to figure out how to back for another sail. You can't see it all in a week. The Islands are epic. Nicola can take us on many more adventures.

You may book this holiday, with this crew, with your eyes closed (and start dreaming of it)! Enrica and Omar have everything planned for the week, taking us to incredible spots, with all tones of blue sea, cooking us some great meals with special Italian touch, taking us to some nice Greek restaurants amongst the islands and keeping the boat perfectly clean. This is a holiday of full relaxation and safety as everything is taken care of. They're a couple with amazing partnership and making the best hosts! Will definitely be back!

Emanuele is a very kind person apart from being an excellent skipper! He is very committed to make everyone feel comfortable in his boat and to involve and make them participate in this nice experience. On board, an aperitivo was offered and prepared by himself with very care and love. Also his co-skippers were very nice, friendly and fun people. When I came back from this one day experience, it seemed to me that I knew them since a longer time because I lived that day very deeply and the energy was absolutely positive. It was a fantastic day for me and I recommend everyone Emanuele as a fantastic skipper and person to share this experience with!

We enjoyed a very pleasant sailing week leaving from Palma de Mallorca , coasting the eastern side of Mallorca, crossing to Menorca and reaching Mahon from the northern side of the island. Tommaso has been a very relaxed and competent skipper, always attentive to our requests and keen to discuss with us the best route to take on a daily basis. A memorable experience.

Beautiful experience! Alberto turned out to be a very reliable and competent skipper as well as being a pleasant travel companion, very attentive to the needs of his crew.

THANKS ANTONIO AND FRANCESCA A WEEK FROM GOD, TO BE RELIVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE .... WONDERFUL BOAT IN EVERY DETAIL .... THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Amazing experience! Best skipper ????
