We had an amazing trip with Luca and Livio on his sailboat! From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel comfortable and welcome. They were extremely professional, easy to be around, and clearly knew the area inside out. Luca spoke goid English and shared fascinating stories about the local nature and culture, and even taught us how to sail — which was a special highlight for our family. Even though the weather didn’t allow for much sailing, we still had a fantastic time swimming in the ocean and exploring beautiful caves. The whole experience felt relaxed yet full of adventure, and we came away with wonderful memories. We would absolutely recommend a trip with Luca and Livio to anyone visiting the area!
Excellent day with Luca. We highly recommended.
Another excellent day trip sailing with Livio! Communication was quick and clear. The boat was clean and ready to disembark on arrival. Livio gave a great safety briefing and explained the facilities well. It was a wonderful trip up and down the Gargano. Livio also gave prompt and expert first aide for a jellyfish sting to one of my companions. Truly appreciate the quality care of the skipper. Highly recommend Luca and Livio for your next sailing trip! 😊 Thanks again!
We had the best trip. Discovering the coast and ocean with Luca and his boat was the best experience. Can’t wait to be back.
Had a fantastic two day one night voyage with Luca and Livio with my family of 4. It was absolutely perfect in all aspects.
We spent a nice day with Luca and Livio. We are a Family with 3 children (9/7/5) and their adapted the journey to the Family. They are pationed sailer, knows well the region, bays and coves and share with pleasure. Thank to them !
Luca was responsive and easy to communicate with from booking the boat to the very end of the trip. He and his companion were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable on the boat. The boat itself was very clean and well stocked for its guests. As former boat owners ourselves, we could tell his boat was very well cared for and maintained. Throughout our day travelling the Gargano coastline, Luca was very attentive to our needs and made suggestions on stops based on our wants. He is an adept sailor and was very knowledgeable on local landscape and history. We recommend that you book with Luca for the best way to enjoy the water! Will book again soon!
Livio and team were very nice and accommodating. They brought us to astonishing places, we would definitely go back with them!! Thank you!
My husband and our two children had a great trip with Luca and Livio, his partner. Both sailed and guided us along the coast of Gargano. Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. Luca is a very nice person catering to all our requests. He is also very experienced captain and a knowledgable guide to the history of Puglia. These two days were the highlight of our vacation. We enjoyed a lot of great moments and highly recommend Luca.
Kind, friendly and helpful owners
A unique experience, definitely worth repeating and highly recommended. Luca and Livio are the best!
Two unparalleled days on a sailing boat, exploring the sumptuous coasts of Gargano. An experience that tastes of freedom and authentic beauty, made even more special by perfect company. Luca and Livio were impeccable, always available, friendly and above all very competent. They knew how to involve us by showing us the best of the area and leaving us space to enjoy every moment calmly and lightly. A perfect mix of fun, nature and relaxation. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to unplug and experience the sea in a real way. We will return to the Tremiti!
A superb trip that allowed us to discover the Gargano coast. Skippers attentive to our wishes. I highly recommend it!
Luca and Livio gave us a wonderful day. Very nice trip along the coast of Gargano grmaakt. The weather was nice, unfortunately not much wind. We swam in very beautiful places. Luca and Livio are very hospitable and made our 25th wedding anniversary unforgettable, grazie mille!!
First sailing experience with a 4 year old child for 3 days. Departure from Manfredonia, tour of the Gargano with a stop in Rodi, and tour of the Tremiti. Luca and Livio were very welcoming and immediately put us at ease, discreet and good company. We sailed mostly by motor (10€/h) considering the very calm sea and the planned itinerary. Wonderful places, easy trip, incredible sea (for the Tremiti we recommend an extra day). Our little one was able to steer and fish thanks to our two captains and the trip was a dream come true :)
We spent a wonderful day with Luca and Livio, very kind and very nice. They explained to us the rudiments of sailing and also involved us in the maneuvers at sea. Truly recommended.
Wonderful ! Luca and Livio gave us a magnificent experience and showed us exceptional places. A beautiful meeting with beautiful people. THANKS.
We spontaneously decided to go on a day trip. The booking after a quick and short consultation went smoothly. The meeting was very well organized, parking is possible directly in the port. In front of the jetty there are small cafes where you can have a snack before you leave the country. Luca was a courteous and competent host, we felt safe and protected the whole trip. The weather wasn't particularly suitable for swimming, it was stormy, but the captain still headed for a couple of very picturesque and quiet bays, so that even our 9-year-old daughter dared to go into the water. Because of the strong headwind, the journey started with the engine, then sailed back and it was a wonderful experience, almost like flying over the waves. We highly recommend Crue and when we visit Gargano again we will continue our discovery of the coast by yacht. Grazie Luca and goodbye! Gregory, Eugenia and Dora
We spent a wonderful weekend in the company of Luca and Livio, traveling along the Gargano coast to Vieste and back. Absolutely recommended!
We had a wonderful day on board. A perfect day trip. We started at 09.00 and returned to the harbor with the last rays of sunshine. Thanks
Luca kind and helpful owner, wonderful welcome and experience. Definitely to be repeated!
Fantastic experience! A full day on the boat. We had a lot of fun, we were super good. Luca and Livio are two exceptional people, cordial, kind, it seemed to be with old friends. Absolutely to be repeated!! :)
I organized my first wedding anniversary on this fabulous boat .. Luca and Livio are two wonderful people as well as being very good skippers .. very kind and very helpful .. I recommend it to everyone, too bad one day is not enough .. I'll be back definitely !!
My wife and I spent two wonderful days and nights in the company of Livio who made us fall in love with sailing even more! (While I was discovering the turns my wife discovered that the boat acts as a sleeping pill s) What can I say? The boat a splendor and Livio too !! He fully involved us in the various mooring and sailing maneuvers, as well as taking us to very suggestive places. He has always satisfied our every request, and answered all the curiosities ? Thank you Livio and see you soon !!!
Wonderful experience! Luca and Livio were extraordinary skippers, combining kindness and great professionalism. The communication with them has been very positive from the moment of booking, the boat is also in excellent condition, with clean and very comfortable cabins. During the three days of navigation, Luca and Livio involved all of us, and in particular our three children, in the sailing maneuvers, quickly making them grow a strong enthusiasm for this type of experience. To top it all off, the natural beauty of the Gargano coast was added, which we have been able to appreciate in its many facets. In summary, a memorable "three days" that we recommend to everyone.
We stayed two days with Livio, who was very kind and helpful, both in terms of communication and regarding our requests. Even if the weather conditions were a bit adverse, it always made us feel safe. Livio has also been very dedicated to dusting off my boyfriend's sailing knowledge and to tell us about the beauties of the landscape we encountered. Absolutely recommended!
Boat in excellent condition, beautiful! Top experience on the Gargano also thanks to our skippers Luca and Livio who immediately put us at ease and satisfied our requests. An excellent company has been created, certainly to be redone!
Sailing is always an exciting experience .. Luca and Livio indulged our spirit of explorers by taking the time to explain the fascinating world of sailors !! .. for two days we felt like sailors by chance ? ah I forgot, they also took some nice pictures !!!
We spent 2 wonderful days discovering our Gargano. Splendid places of our beloved Puglia that are appreciated more from the sea. Luca and Livio, fantastic skippers, available, welcoming, prepared and their boat well maintained and very equipped. Super positive experience also for my 2 children aged 6 and 9 who fell in love with this way of experiencing the sea. Super recommended experience and absolutely to be redone !! Thanks again and also greetings to Carlo;)
Wonderful experience! Livio accompanied us to discover the splendid coasts of the Gargano with great competence and availability, in complete safety even for our three-year-old child at the first sailing experience. The boat is comfortable and well equipped, perfect for our needs. We spent three wonderful days thanks to Luca and Livio! Good wind!
Luca and Livio were very kind and very professional. They taught the boys to steer the sails and to steer with patience and communicating an enthusiasm that strengthened the passion of Ettore (11 years) and he also loved Nic (almost 8 years). Their company has always been pleasant and they have made us discover splendid areas of the Gargano. The boat is very beautiful, the cabins are very comfortable and (unbelievable!) Do not have the closed smell that characterizes almost all the boats. We will definitely repeat this experience as soon as possible !!!
Fantastic experience: the boat is very comfortable and Luca a very nice person. Absolutely to be repeated.

Credo che andare per mare in barca a vela, sia la massima espressione della libertà. Il fatto di non aver davanti strade, incroci, file o semafori. Il fatto di mollare gli ormeggi, uscire da un porto, e avere la possibilità quasi infinita di rotte o mete da poter scegliere, credo sia una condizione di privilegio di libertà piuttosto rara. Nelle diverse esperienze in barca si è passata la notte in una rada, come ormeggiato in uno dei porti in Adriatico o d una delle tante isole Croate. Con in ns Bavaria 36 abbiamo sin da subito partecipato a diverse regate di altura come la EST105, TRANI-DUBROVNIK, , VIESTE-LASTOVO, PIZZOMUNNO CUP, LA TRABUCCHI, LE DIOMEDEE, oltre al campionato invernale di circolo. Credo che considerare la vela uno sport impegnativo, difficile e solo per persone fisicamente preparate e allenate non sia vero, soprattutto nel caso di barche a vela da diporto di questo tipo. Tornando alla vela da diporto, ricordo ricordo di quella barca a sotto i 10 metri condotta da una coppia di inglesi che, con due bambini erano entrati in porto a Leuca dopo qualche mese di navigazione e non sembravano molto provati dal viaggio. I bambini appena i genitori mollavano l'ancora erano già in acqua a sguazzare come pesci e in quei momenti mi immaginavo come crescere in un determinato ambiente ti formi in modo tanto diverso in base ad alcune scelte di vita. Ho immaginato la stessa famiglia in un sabato qualunque in un centro commerciale con i genitori che non fanno altro che ripetere: non correre, non fare, vieni qui, non andar là, ti fai male, prendi freddo e così via. MA NON E' PROPRIO TUTTO POSSIBILE NELLA VITA. In barca è importante essere un equipaggio affiatato, gli spazi sono ristretti e spesso le persone non si conoscono tra loro, ma il mare unisce, il mare è un'ottima scuola di vita, ti fa capire i tuoi limiti, ti lascia giocare con lui come un padre con un figlio, ti avvisa che stai andando oltre i tuoi limiti, ma nello stesso tempo ti dà sempre una possibilità di recuperare il tuo errore, a patto di riuscire sempre ad imparare dai tuoi errori. Parlare del mare sarebbe una bella cosa, ma credo che il mare vada vissuto di persona, perché non sempre ciò che non si vede e magari ci spaventa, alla fine non possa diventate un compagno di vita e di libertà.
