Give this experience a try!

This experience, in a nutshell

The balloon of a hot air balloon, in addition to being immersed in the air, is also filled with air!


In other words, a hot air balloon is similar to a ship sunk at the bottom of the sea, with the hold invaded by water. How then can it float in the air, that is, fly?

The deception is soon solved: the air contained in the balloon of the balloons is hot, and this makes all the difference. In fact, when the air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than cold air. In this way, hot air balloons can take advantage of Archimedes' principle and fly, just like balloons inflated with helium, which is a gas less dense than air.


And what are you waiting for to set sail with us and experience the thrill of seeing Ventotene in celebration, full of colorful hot air balloons flying in the sky!

The hot air balloon competition (also called 'O pallon') built with paper begins, which will leave us with our noses up and breathless for the nuances and shapes of these works of art created by the island's schools.

I had the most incredible 5-day sailing experience with Emiliano and Ida! Even though I don’t speak Italian, they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and ensured that I had everything I needed. Their hospitality was exceptional, and they created such a welcoming and fun atmosphere on board. Emiliano is an experienced and knowledgeable skipper, and Ida’s big heart and attention to detail made every moment of the trip feel special. From the beautiful sailing routes to the unforgettable meals, everything was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing adventure at sea!

Una esperienza bellissima, la festa di S.Candida è un evento da non perdere. La barca è molto bella e confortevole, l'ho trovata perfetta e pulitissima . Lo skipper Emiliano e il suo braccio destro Ida sono stati ottimi padroni di casa . Attenzione massima allo svolgimento sereno della navigazione e alla gestione delle esigenze dell'equipaggio . La compagnia molto divertente , il viaggio in barca che tutti vorrebbero fare ! Tornerò sicuramente per altre destinazioni. A Napoli ho trovato sicuramente un punto di riferimento ! A presto ❤️

Viaggio spesso con spasso a vela… ed un motivo ci sarà.. GEM la barca ( pulita, attrezzata e bella) la sento quasi come casa… gli organizzatori sono diventati amici… skipper esperti, flessibili ed accorti ad ogni esigenza. Luoghi ed eventi scelti con sapienza… questa volta ( forse la più bella di sempre) il plus è stato il gruppo… quando la vita decide di farti un regalo!! A prestissimo, come sempre!! E buon vento!
