Sardinia, with its many offshore islands and bays, is an absolute top destination. A special highlight is entering the port of Bonifatio on Corsica.

Highly responsive and helpful with explaining how the boat worked. We only wanted to do a day trip and got the flexibility to do so to visit isola di ma Ventre.

In August, my wife Valentina and I enjoyed an extraordinary week on Fiorenzo’s sailing yacht. He expertly took us to breathtaking spots in Northern Sardinia—turquoise waters, steep cliffs, and pristine white sandy beaches, each more stunning than the last. His knowledge of the mainland led us to excellent restaurants, adding memorable evenings. Fiorenzo’s sailing skills were exceptional; he explained the weather, wind, hazards, and navigational options each evening. He navigated tight harbor maneuvers with remarkable ease, even in strong winds. This adventure was a healing, soul-opening experience shared with kind and genuine people. Fiorenzo is a professional and extraordinary person, bringing lightness, joy, and safety. Leaving such beautiful, inspiring places was difficult; every moment was filled with natural beauty and inspiration. We are deeply grateful for this memorable journey and want to thank Fiorenzo for making it all possible. Warm regards, Pascal & Valentina, Aug. 2025

We enjoyed an unforgettable 4-day sailing trip with Alessio, and what an experience it was! Traveling with a family of five children aged 11 to 16. We chose to head west toward the charming town of Carloforte. The boat itself was clean, in very good condition, and equipped with all the comfort we could wish for. Alessio struck the perfect balance between sailing and swim stops at picturesque spots, keeping things fun and varied for the kids. He intuitively knew when to give our family some private time, and when to join in as a warm and delightful presence. What also stood out was Alessio’s flexibility. When unexpected circumstances came up on our side, he effortlessly adjusted the route in consultation with us, always with a calm and thoughtful approach that made us feel completely at ease. In short: Alessio is the kind of captain you rarely come across: professional, attentive, and a genuinely kind person. This was a personal, authentic, and unforgettable sailing experience.

On holiday from NYC and we were looking for a sail. Hired a skipper, cause local knowledge is great, and we had a brilliant time. Lovely little J-105 that scooted along. Skipper David was brilliant - we drove while he did all the hard work. It was nice to not stress. Very professional outfit - Monica handled the booking effortlessly start to finish. The hospitality was great and the team can cater from beginners to experts. If you want a nice, private sail, check out Franco and his crew.

We had originally booked, paid for and had confirmed a Catamaran Nautitec 46 but a couple of days prior to our departure we were informed that it had technical problems and that we could not go on our holiday. Nic our agent went to work immediately and could not find us an alternative Cat at such short notice but instead found us a monohull Dufour 56 Exclusive. Initially we were unhappy with this choice as we had wanted a Cat but it was actually a very comfortable boat and we got to sail a lot more than we would have done with the cat. The holiday was totally transformed by the presence of our marvellous skipper. He was truly amazing, very capable and calm despite the difficult weather and very high speed winds. He was kind, funny, intelligent and extremely hard working, always found us the most calm waters to anchor in at night and day when other boats had to go into port. He made our holiday.

Excellent experience! The boat was exactly what we needed for our group of 6, very clean and easy to sail. Valérie was very kind and helpful. The area around Castelsardo was splendid.
