This experience, in a nutshell

The Skipper course will be held aboard a Beneteau 50, with a maximum of 6 participants. The program begins on Sunday in Fiumicino with a first aid course held by the Italian Red Cross, at the end of which a BLSD certificate will be issued. The first night we will sleep on board, and on Monday morning we will leave for the Pontine Islands.


During the course, correspondence lessons will be held both in the morning and in the afternoon. In addition, there will be practical exercises on anchoring, mooring, unmooring, simulation of engine failures, adjusting the sails and using the on-board instruments. The navigation will take place between the islands of Ponza, Palmarola and Ventotene.


On Thursday morning we will return to Nettuno, where Matteo, a well-known ocean navigator, and his wife Corinna will embark. Matteo will share his experience, while Corinna will give advice on how to cook on board in any situation. On Saturday, Matteo and Corinna will disembark in Nettuno, and the course will end with the final disembarkation on Sunday at 12 noon at Fiumicino.

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

Stefano si è dimostrato un capitano con esperienza anche con condizioni meteo non proprio favoreli, simpatico e autorevole al punto giusto, esperienza da ripetere.

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!!
