An experience for experienced sailors: this is where sailing gets serious!

Attention! On board is Nao, our mascot: a long-haired Jack Russell puppy, very well-behaved, affectionate, and, above all, an experienced ocean sailor! ⛵

Steering, adjusting the sails, maneuvering, navigating and plotting the course, checking the weather... 24 hours a day. You sleep in shifts, you brave the wind, the waves, and the nothingness all around you. It's a tough life, sure. But it's also freedom, the ultimate freedom. And then there's the joy of reaching a destination under your own steam, of visiting distant places and experiencing them as only a few have the opportunity to do. A fortnight dedicated to those who love strong flavors and experiences that stay with you.
I'll wait for you on board

Program
  • Day 1. From Malaga to Madeira
    Day 1. From Malaga to Madeira
    We depart from Málaga with the sun still low and the promise of the Levante wind on the horizon. Bow towards Gibraltar: the rock calls us like an ancient lighthouse. We stop just long enough to climb up there, provision properly, and scan the skies for our perfect weather window. It’s the breath before the plunge.

    When the moment arrives, we cast off and leave the Strait behind. The route stretches like a rope: straight towards Madeira, six hundred miles of open ocean. Life on board becomes a rhythm: turns at the helm with the wake glowing with phosphorescence, hands on the maneuvers, watchful eyes reading the darkness, pans sizzling in the galley, chores that make us crew even before friends. The boat sings on the long wave, we harness the wind and turn it into our path.

    The nights smell of salt and silence, broken only by the click of the AIS and the murmur of the sea. Dawns find us already awake, with the first coffee and the horizon opening like a new promise. Here freedom is not just a word: it’s the body moving on deck, it’s the sail breathing, it’s time becoming vast and slow, without boundaries.

    And then, one morning, Madeira appears: green cliffs plunging steeply, the Atlantic softening, Funchal welcoming us like a dreamt-of port. We moor with full hearts and salt on our skin. If days remain, we take a van and go explore the island in its winding roads, in the levadas that whisper water, in the breathtaking viewpoints. It's a place that stays with you, like the wake the boat leaves but which your eyes continue to see.

    This is not just a crossing: it’s a taut thread between desire and the horizon, a way of measuring the world with the wind in your face and your hands on the lines. A challenging route, yes — and precisely for that reason, it will be unforgettable.

    Mallorca is a beautiful place, it has incredible coves. But what Filippo gives you is much more than that. You sail on a sustainable boat, with sunlight it produces its own water, large, of those that without going down you can go around the world. Then there's the gastronomic journey, incredible.
    I will
    repeat and I hope it will be soon.

    Filippo is an excellent host, an amazing gourmet cook, & seasoned skipper. It was a joy to see him easily manage the complexities of sailing; he made us at home & relaxed every day. Cocktails, hors'douvres, then every night another fancy dinner! Good thing all that swimming & exploring worked up our appetites!

    My September 2024 Ibiza sailing trip was a good success. The facilities of the boat were good, everything working. Provisioning and cooking was all done, Filippo provided and cooked excellent food. Stopping points and nautical activities good. Personally I prefer more active sailing but that depends on conditions.
