Leg 1

Formia

Friday - Boarding from the port of Formia by 11.30 a.m. Luggage storage and cabin assignment. After a short briefing we cast off the moorings! We raise the sails and sail towards Ischia. Lunch on board and after 4.5 hours of sailing we moor at anchor in Lacco Ameno. Immediately take a dip in the crystal clear water of this picturesque cove (with the possibility of swimming to an isolated beach).

In the late afternoon, we weigh anchor and head towards Ischia Castello, where we will moor (at anchor), for the night. If everyone wishes, dinner on board and evening available to guests. You will be provided with the telephone number of an efficient taxi service at an extremely low cost, which will allow you to go ashore and return by boat with maximum freedom of time. Once on land, you can decide to stay in the Aragonese Castle area, or move to the nearby Ischia Porto for an evening of nightlife

Leg 2

Ischia

Saturday - Breakfast on board and then leave the moorings to circumnavigate Ischia and go to the Sorgeto area. Sorgeto is a small bay where you can moor and easily swim to the thermal baths. The thermal water at 90 is mixed with the sea water and fills these natural pools where you can immerse yourself. In this bay there is a bar and the pirate, a gentleman who for a few euros brushes thermal mud with beneficial effects.


We have lunch on board and after lunch we weigh anchor to reach the Green Grotto of Ischia, which can only be reached by sea and is located south-east of the island in the bay in front of Punta della Cannuccia

In the late afternoon we move towards Procida, Capital of Culture 2022. After mooring in the roadstead, we will have an aperitif at sunset and then go ashore with our tender and visit the picturesque fishing village of Corricella,

You can eat on the ground, in one of the many restaurants.

Leg 3

Procida

Sunday - Breakfast on board, we circumnavigate the island of Procida and stop for a short swim in the roadstead of the island of Vivara. Time to cool off and head to the island of Ventotene, which we reach in about 3.5 hours of navigation. Ventotene is a wonderful island, nature reserve and Roman settlement (of which there are numerous remains, Roman cisterns, Villa Giulia, aquaroles, etc.).

Once there, we moor at Cala Nave for a swim and lunch on board. The island of Ventotene is very small, less than 3 km long and easily circumnavigable, which we will do! Around 6.00 p.m. we will moor in the port and you will then be given maximum availability to go ashore, to have an aperitif, an aperitif or a wonderful dinner in one of the many bars.

Leg 4

Ponza

Monday - Breakfast on board, and sail to the magnificent island of Ponza. We reach it in about 3.5 hours of navigation. The first stop will be a swim at the Natural Arch, where we will have lunch. In the afternoon we move to the Cala Core area for more baths and visit the homonymous Core cave.

In the late afternoon we look for a mooring for the night in the Frontone area. An aperitif on board at sunset and we are ready for dinner on board. At the end of dinner, you will be provided with the telephone number of a taxi service in order to be able to go ashore and return on board with maximum freedom of schedule.

Leg 5

Ponza Ponente

Tuesday - Breakfast on board, and circumnavigation of the island of Ponza (west side). We will stop in Chiaia di luna, in the bay of Lucia Rosa and in Cala Feola for a swim in the natural pools.

During the day swimming, lunch on board!

In the afternoon, we return to the Frontone area and moor there for the night.

Everyone goes ashore for an aperitif and dinner. The return on board will be made using the taxi service of which you have been provided with the number.

Leg 6

Palmarola

Wednesday - Breakfast on board, and sail to the island of Palmarola. This island is almost uninhabited and Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the famous French explorer and oceanographer, called it the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean

We will swim in the many coves with emerald water. In the evening we will live a fascinating, exhilarating and certainly uncommon experience. We will spend the night in absolute silence, illuminated only by the stars and the moon at Cala Brigantino, where a very high cliff overlooking the sea with light tuff rocks will protect us from the sea and the winds. Suggestive dinner on board and... Midnight bath!

Leg 7

Formia

Thursday - Breakfast on board, a wonderful bathroom and for those who want to ... snorkeling. Around 9.30 a.m. we raise the sails and start sailing back to Formia. We'll have lunch during the crossing.

Once we arrive at Punta Stendardo, we will give you the opportunity to see the Montagna Spaccata and its Sanctuary of the Holy Trinity, built in the eleventh century. You will also be able to admire the famous Grotta del Turco (Turk's Grotto), of which an ancient religious tradition says that it came to light at the time of Christ's death, when the veil of the temple of Jerusalem was torn, and where there seems to be the imprint of the hand of an unbelieving Turkish sailor!

At 2.30 p.m. we will return to the port of Formia, where you will go ashore to return home with a baggage of emotions that we are sure you will carry in your heart.

7-day cruise on a 22 m maxi yacht with skipper from Pontine and Phlegraean

Un po’ al di sotto delle aspettative. Luca è molto gentile e disponibile, nonchè uno skipper esperto e ottimo cuoco. Tuttavia, per alcuni aspetti sono rimasta delusa, in particolare in considerazione del fatto che l’esperienza viene presentata come opzione un po’ più lussuosa e comoda (con consequente costo di partecipazione più alto della media). Le cabine sono particolarmente piccole (il Pepe è una barca da regata riadattata). Inoltre mentre 3 cabine hanno il loro bagno privato, altre 5 persone condividono un unico bagno adiacente a una delle cabine. La hostess Sabina si è rivelata poco professionale e a tratti sgarbata nei confronti dei partecipanti. L’atmosfera si è distesa quando è andata via al terzo giorno della vacanza. Luca è stato bravissimo a sopperire la sua assenza, ma in ogni caso il servizio hostess che viene pagato nella quota non è stato coperto. Purtroppo non siamo potuti andare a vela a causa di un pezzo di sicurezza mancante. Per quanto sono cose che possono capitare, mi domando se la barca fosse stata soggetta alla necessaria manutenzione e controlli prima della partenza. Infine, le condizioni di pulizia della barca non erano ottimali. Già alla partenza, l’esterno era piuttosto sporco. Inoltre abbiamo avuto un problema di formiche a bordo per il quale non è stato fatto niente nonostante le varie lamentele e suggerimenti di acquistare un prodotto apposito.

September 3-7 Pontine on a spacious 22-metre yacht with skipper

Porto con me dei bellissimi ricordi di questa mia prima esperienza in barca a vela, esperienza condivisa con un'amica e con altre simpatiche persone conosciute a bordo della bella e comoda barca che ci ha ospitati. Lo skipper Luca mi ha trasmesso da subito sicurezza e fiducia grazie alle sua esperienza e capacità, comprensibili anche da una neofita come me, e ci ha anche deliziato con gustosi pasti consumati con vista sui meravigliosi panorami delle isole pontine. Esperienza da fare e ripetere.

Vacanza davvero molto bella. La barca è  grande con ampi e comodi spazi esterni. Abbiamo navigato nell'arcipelago Pontino e ammirato e goduto di posti davvero meravigliosi, con acque limpide dai mille colori e panorami mozzafiato. Palmarola in particolare è un incanto. Luca è stato il valore aggiunto di questa crociera, abile e capace Skipper sempre padrone della situazione, che infonde sicurezza, gentile premuroso, paziente e magnifico cuoco. Abbiamo mangiato davvero benissimo. Pasti ottimi preparati con cura e prevalentemente di pesce. Ho fatto diverse crociere in cabin charter, 3 con Sailsquare,  senza nulla togliere agli altri questa è stata senz'altro la migliore. Un grazie di cuore a Luca e anche ai miei magnifici compagni di viaggio.
