Small-group sailing adventures, far from mass tourism

Navigate crystal-clear waters, explore wild islands, hike ashore, snorkel hidden coves and share dinners at anchor under the stars.
These sailing expeditions are designed for small groups only (3–4 people max), with a flexible itinerary adapted to weather, wind and the group’s wishes.

This is not a cruise — it’s a real sailing adventure, slow, immersive and authentic.

👉 Small groups only — contact me to check availability

What you will experience

Short distances, clear water, perfect balance between sailing and exploration.
Ideal for 3–4 day trips.

Aeolian Islands

Volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches, active volcanoes, spectacular hikes.
3 to 7 days.

Pelagie Islands & Pantelleria

More remote, wild and less crowded destinations.
4 to 7 days.

Malta & Gozo

Rich history, cliffs, caves and great sailing conditions.
3 to 5 days.

Sardinia

Longer crossings, turquoise water, remote anchorages.
5 to 7 days.

Routes are adapted to weather, wind and the group — flexibility is part of the experience.

Life on board

  • Comfortable cruising sailboat
  • Shared life on board in a friendly, simple atmosphere
  • Cooking and meals prepared together or ashore
  • Nights at anchor or in small harbors
  • Emphasis on safety, seamanship and respect for the sea

No luxury, no rush — just real sailing.

Sailing activities & learning on board

Even during adventure trips, sailing is central:

  • Active participation in maneuvers
  • Understanding wind, weather and navigation
  • Anchoring techniques
  • Coastal navigation
  • Living with the rhythm of the sea

You can be a beginner or already experienced — the trip adapts to your level.

Winter sailing courses & skill development

Sailing courses during winter months

Outside the main summer season, I also offer sailing courses and skill-focused trips, mainly in winter, when the sea is quieter and conditions are perfect for learning.

These courses are ideal if you want to:

  • Gain confidence as a skipper or crew
  • Improve boat handling and maneuvering
  • Learn navigation, anchoring and sail trim
  • Sail in real conditions, not in a classroom

Course format

  • Small groups only (3–4 people)
  • Hands-on learning, on board
  • Adapted to your level and objectives
  • Focus on autonomy, safety and seamanship

Winter sailing offers strong learning conditions: wind, calm anchorages, fewer boats — perfect to progress fast.
