Skipper / Engineer Sandro

Hostess / Chef Donatella

Born in Locarno (Ticino, Switzerland) on the shores of Lake Maggiore, married to Donatella, I have a training as a mechanic of vehicles and liner aircraft. I was a member of law enforcement for 21 years. The last 6 I carried out in the specialists of the water Police, performing activities of control, search, rescue and recovery (SAR) in the water field. Since I was a child I cultivated a passion for boating, I spent my childhood holidays working on the Adriatic aboard the legendary "Pirate Galleon" that carried out daily cruises. I never missed an opportunity to board boats, and whatever floated. I have completed my training in the naval field over the years collecting:

Licence for the command of sailing and motor vessels for inland waters

License for the professional transport of people, thanks to the possibility given to me by a dear friend

Maritime offshore License

SRC RYA GMDSS Enabling

Enabling to use and instructing on the use of On-board Radar

Various rescue and recovery courses in the water, for people and boats

SRC BLS/DAE First Responder First Responder Adult and Child First Aid, notions of on-board medicine

My focus is on the safety of our passengers, crew and boat, with a view to providing quality, but also to satisfy the demands of our guests. I love the joy, the serenity and to perceive that our guests are fulfilled and at ease. I personally carry out the maintenance of the boat and repairs in case of breakdowns. I will gladly show you the tricks of the maritime trade.

These two words about me I hope are an invitation to get to meet us on board

Born in Locarno (Ticino, Switzerland), after training in sales and commerce, I undertook the path of social educator that gave me the opportunity to work with children, the elderly and adults with mental disorders. The holidays, spent on a boat, were among the most beautiful, where I could actually experience the sense of relaxation, carefreeness and well-being, deciding to make it my new job. Over the years, with my husband Sandro we spent most of our holidays on our boats exploring views of Lake Maggiore and the various sea. Sailing is a passion shared in the family.

Sandro trained me on all the needs of navigation and emergency at sea. I also have good knowledge of care and am trained for emergency situations in first aid (BLS, AED).

I love cooking and keeping the spaces where we live tidy and clean.

I like good company, cheerfulness and informing myself about the culture of the places we visit, sharing this knowledge with our guests.

The fundamental point for me is to make the holiday of our guests unforgettable and reach their expectations.

I will be happy to welcome you on board!
