About me

The summary of my experience on a boat is somewhat equivalent to the story of my life. Since I began to insist on going on optimists at the age of 6 I must say that my life can be considered more than monotonous as I have not yet come down to the ground much less I can and fortunately maturity has led me to understand that I do not want to get out of this beautiful world. A whole life trying to improve my practical knowledge of going to sea and the study of history, from the roots to today of these microcosms called boats.

What I like to do

Partying!

Helping with the steering manoeuvres

Sunbathing

My experience

As a child, like almost everyone, I started with small lake and sea regattas, then I started sailing yachts as a sailor until I took the lead in 2003. From there it has always been a coming and going of both sailing and motor boats... Different sizes, different styles from 15-meter sailing boats to 58-meter yachts, and as a latest experience long-distance navigation as a Navigation Officer on Cap Size merchant ships, the largest sizes that currently sail the seas. In love with sailing and the places of my Mediterranean despite a few detours to the Caribbean and consequently a couple of round trip ocean crossings. The future is not known but for sure you will still find me sailing around our sea. Fair winds!

Nonostante il meteo incerto Francesco è riuscito ad ottimizzare i tempi e a farci vivere al pieno la settimana, mostrandoci le Bellezze delle Eolie e coccolandoci con la sua cucina. Lo consiglio!

La nostra settimana con Francesco è stata favolosa, nonostante il maltempo ci abbia costretto a modificare l'itinerario nei primi 2 giorni. Fin dal momento dell'imbarco, Francesco si è dimostrato uno skipper esperto ed una persona fantastica: ci ha accolto su Claudia e si è subito assicurato che il nostro viaggio potesse iniziare al meglio, a partire dalle sagge indicazioni sulla cambusa. Nei giorni seguenti, costretti in porto a Lipari, ha saputo darci indicazioni sulle attività da fare a terra. Quando il tempo ce l'ha permesso, abbiamo proseguito l'itinerario con grande sicurezza, potendo godere al meglio delle magnifiche Eolie grazie all'esperienza di Francesco. Dall'ascesa a Vulcano, alla navigazione notturna attorno a Stromboli, agli ultimi bagni tra i faraglioni di Lipari, Francesco è stato davvero fenomenale nel gestire la barca e assicurarsi che potessimo passare una fantastica vacanza. Grazie Francesco, alla prossima! - Filippo, Martina, Giovanni, Francesca, Enrico, Carlo

Vacanza spettacolare! Perfetta sia per i posti visitati in barca che per l’organizzazione e l’ affidabilità dello skipper Francesco. Barca comodissima e tenuta molto bene!
