A nice day out in open, clear beautiful waters. Smaller, intimate group. Nice sized boat. Giovanni and Carlos are true professionals and great sailors. Theyre very friendly too. Lunch was delicious. Very relaxing and very luxurious. I would recommend anyone to do this trip. Truly worth every penny.

Safety Measures Questionable

Kathleen_H, Jun 2023

This was not a good experience. I will skip petty complaints and focus on safety concerns. At the conclusion of our tour the motor on our sailboat failed. We were headed back to port and there was not enough wind to get us there. The captain phoned someone, but it was in Italian, we could not understand. We hoped someone was on their way to tow us in, but we sat for 3 hours waiting. The captain brought out a very old 3.5hp Johnson kicker motor, but it did not run. Finally, my 13 year old sun flagged down a small fishing boat who reluctantly gave us a tow. Mechanical issues happen, but here is my concern: there was no working aux power source and no emergency plan. We were in extreme heat and very uncomfortable. We got the impression the boat did not belong to the captain and he tried to what he could with little support. My husband knows sailing and helped, but we were left out on the water entirely too long! I question the professionalism of this company.

The staff Andrea, Anna...

Très belle visite, les deux skippers sont vraiment très sympathiques, les explications sont claires. Ils sont à l écoute de leurs clients. Je conseille vraiment.

Traum Tag mit netten Skipper und leckerem Essen

Dirk_R, Oct 2019

Wir hatten viel Spaß und waren eine tolle Truppe, Australien, Neuseeland, Alaska und Deutschland. Auch noch ein großes Lob an Gloria für die tolle Verpflegung. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Quel belle journée !

Une belle journée sur un beau bâteau, entouré de gens bien sympathiques. Nos guides francophones nous ont montré des choses que l'on ne peut pas voir de la côte. Nous avons bien mangé, et le petit vin blanc était bien frais ! Très fun aussi de pouvoir "piloter" soi-même le voilier, en apprenant à aller chercher le vent et la poussée des vagues ! Et évidemment, aller piquer une tête dans l'eau à 27°C en pleine Méditerannée ! Je recommande chaudement !
