Where to go
We are personally convinced that the choice of a destination depends on the style. We also firmly believe that a consultant should know personally the areas where he invites his guests to. We have the 'local knowledge' ss you can see in our sailing directions, all of which come from our personal experience, that starts from Alaskan Fjords and ends in the smallest Croatian coves. With nearly everything in between.
- Thrill seekers: we suggest you to avoid the Med in summer and search for thrill in faraway seas, such as Patagonia, Greenland, the Andamans or Antarctica. Yes, there are indeed small sailboats cruising there. Still, this MUST be done sometimes.
- Adventurous: if you search for winds and seas, you might find it funny to sail close-hauled against the Meltemi in the Cyclades, in August. Then in spring you can challenge the Mistral (metaphorically) in Provence, Corsica and Sardinia. The Aeolian is an archipelago where you can cruise all year round. The Caribbean offer wind (steady) aplenty. While other destinations, like Thailand, Madagascar, the Seychelles, Brazil and Alaska, still provide the sensation you are exploring.
- Gourmet: if you love to eat, and do not simply eat to live, some destinations are compulsory. While it is difficult to oversee the Patagonian crabs, the Alaskan salmon and the New England lobsters with impunity, non one will ever convince me that there are better gourmet destinations than the Mediterranean. The quality is number one, the variety impressive and the passion unbeatable. Sicily and the Aeolian for fish, Corsica and France for beef, the Riviera for excellence and so on.
- Curious and active: we have art discovery cruises and golf + sail combinations. Croatia and Sicily offer plenty of interesting places ashore, from old Venetian villages to climbing active volcanoes. The Galapagos are a must in Darwin's bicentenary. . Relax and wellness: chose to be pampered by our referenced crews. Just pack and let us organize everything for you.
