Embark with Fabrizio - Skipper Italy

The skipper

Set sail with our skipper Fabrizio around the Bay of Naples! Hear tales of his sailing experience in France and Italy and discover his sailing style and favourite mooring spots. From spring through to late summer set sail with him on one of many possible routes to the Pontine Islands or along the Amalfi coast. Fabrizio also offers sailing and hiking cruises to these same destinations.

 Sailing made me understand that how little we need to feel good about the world: all it takes is a sunset, the sound of the lapping water against the hull, the wind, the smell of the sea, and life is fine.

I'm a specialist professional instructor and have worked with a number of organisations dealing with many different people, kids, teenagers, young mothers, etc. I have always had a passion for sailing and the sea and trained at one of the biggest sailing schools in Europe, Les Glénans, where I gained my instructors diploma in 2006. Since I have regularly sailed between Brittany and the Bay of Naples, my home town. In Italy I passed my high-seas license for sailing and motor-driven boats which meant I was able to work with associations like the Fondazione Dal Mare, whose aim is to develop knowledge of sea as a source of natural and economic wealth.

 People say that I like doing stuff. And that my big character flaw is wanting to do things too well.

Life on a journey

Returning the port of Falmouth in Cornwall at 5pm seeing hundreds of tiny yachts heading seawards for a jaunt after work. Now that's what I call the love of sailing.

Quand les gens ont trouvé une bonne raison de revenir !

My main priority is safety.
