Hello, a month of sailing with three different crews. A bit complicated for the preparation, language barrier but in the end, everything was almost perfect. Excellent base welcome, very organized office, technical team with a level of competence I have never experienced since I started renting. The boat was uniquely clean, a 2012 model but very well maintained, the engine seemed new, the mainsail was the same, the furling genoa was a bit stiff but manageable. The stop at Pisa marina was very complicated, impossible to reach by email or phone, a friend in France managed to get us a spot twice even though the port was two-thirds occupied, strange... The Cinque Terre, if you can find a spot, Portovenere, a stop before the five lands, then anchoring on a free mooring in June, after? In Elba, the ports are very welcoming, inexpensive, 85 € for a 50-foot boat. Marciana Marina, wonderful welcome, bus to the cable car (two-seater basket) to Mount Capanne, very nice and original, return and recovery of the security deposit without any problem (4500 €). If you wish, I can list the stops for you.

Great experience with a large group of friends. Well-prepared boat, very comfortable and livable. The roller furling is not the best for the shape of the sail, but this is well known.
Serious and available owner. Optimal sailing area for the beauty of the places and the sheltered spots.

The yacht was very well prepared, checked in detail and efficiently after the cruise. The boat was comfortable, well-equipped with good nautical properties. The service was friendly, factual, and very efficient. The marina is large, with good facilities, a large covered parking area, clean toilets and showers, and a yacht fuel station on site. The Tuscan and Ligurian coasts are very picturesque, especially I recommend Portovenere, Lerici, Elba Island, and Capraia. The food is excellent, prices are quite high (about 2 times higher than in Poland), marinas are quite expensive (120-180 EUR for a berth). Before the cruise, it's worth learning a few words in Italian, as it can sometimes be difficult to communicate in English.
