Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49 (2004)

A sailing holiday out of the ordinary, among friends, this is the concept!
On board a boat set up with love and expertise by Massimo and Corinna, owners and crew, with all those comforts and accessories that a normal and anonymous charter boat cannot offer. Together they will supervise the maneuvers, navigation, cooking, but above all you will be the crew and the protagonists.
Your wishes are the first thing to pack!
Those with no experience will be able to learn the notions of sailing and the sea, the more experienced will be able to share experiences and refine techniques. The synthesis is experiencing the sea from the sea.
This year the incredible situation created by the COVID19 emergency makes sailing holidays probably the safest way to experience the sea. Family or pre-established crews, boat sanitized at each crew change, the possible possibility of doing rapid tests before boarding and then off to sea, away from the crowds, looking for roadsteads and isolated places, in short a slightly different holiday, but not too much for those who want to experience the sea.
