Atlantiv Atlantic49 (1991)

Hello! "Luckystar", my faithful steed of the seas, and I welcome you to an onboard adventure in the Ionian islands, around Kefalonia and Ithaki! This is not a traditional cruise; my goal is to share my life on board with you and experience thrilling adventures in the mythical settings of Ulysses! We will share all aspects of common life, and I will introduce you to various aspects of navigation in safety and good spirits!

Former physical education teacher for 11 years, I have a pedagogical nature and adapt to the qualities and skills of each individual to involve them at their level in the various tasks on board. Converted into a professional skipper since 2020, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and trying to raise awareness about the different aspects of life on the water. I would love to offer you an adventure tailored to your tastes and desires, which we will adapt as the journey progresses!

"Luckystar" is a monohull sailboat from 1991, ideal for sailing even in light winds. It is comfortable for a boat of its generation with its 4 cabins, each with its own toilet, a large shaded cockpit, a front deck for sunbathing enthusiasts, and a rear platform for easy water access! A motorized dinghy and a double kayak will allow us to explore around the anchorage and dock as we please.

What I propose is not a traditional cruise but a human adventure focused on sharing and conviviality! Choices and decision-making will be discussed among all participants as long as I consider that the safety of passengers and the boat is preserved.

The "Pros":
- Customizable holidays that we will plan together and then adjust according to the weather and your desires: nothing is set in stone!
- I will introduce you (young and old) to various aspects of life on board by adapting to each person's abilities.
- The configuration of the Ionian islands provides protection from swells, so we will spend calm nights in wild coves most of the time!
- It is not uncommon for a sunset guitar session to offer a musical interlude to liven up a small aperitif in these dreamy settings!

The "Cons":
- "Lucky" is a beautiful boat designed for sailing adventures; consequently, it is not as comfortable as more modern boats. The double cabins are suitable for couples, friends, and/or siblings who don't mind sleeping together.
- I am the only one responsible for the maintenance and repairs of the boat; unfortunately, there may be some minor "hiccups" along the way, and I may need to do some DIY to remedy them if possible.

If you want to experience an authentic adventure, step out of your comfort zone, and share good times in a magnificent setting, then "Lucky" and I will be waiting for you from June to October in the Ionian islands!

See you on board!
