Vacanza in barca strepitosa, il comandante Stefano è molto bravo ed esperto anche nel mare molto mosso. L'aiuto skipper, il figlio Adriano avrà un futuro radioso come comandante. In barca c'era un partecipante Massimo , di professione chef che preparava dei piatti gustosi ed eccezionali e degli apericena da urlo. Wath else??? ciao alla prossima

Ero alla prima esperienza di barca e sono rimasta estasiata. Lo skipper Stefano è stato eccezionale: cordialità, professionalità, capacità di mettere a proprio agio chiunque. Dopo 10 minuti mi sentivo come a casa. Durante 2 perturbazioni meteo, lo skipper ha dimostrato tutta la sua capacità ed esperienza di navigazione. La barca era comoda e munita di tutto; lo skipper tiene molto all'ordine e alla pulizia che viene fatta anche durante la navigazione. Gli organizzatori hanno saputo creare un gruppo ben assortito in cui membri si sono integrati subito.

Esperienza stupenda, una delle migliori uscite in barca di sempre. Stefano e Rosa insuperabili. Difficile davvero superarli in termini di organizzazione e simpatia e competenza. E sono comprese anche le lezioni di geologia di super Rosa!!
