Full description
Sugar, cinnamon and everything is beautiful. These are the ingredients chosen to create. .. The perfect sailing trip!
Our skipper (and instructor) will be waiting for you on board his boat Zucchero e Cannella to take you on a discovery of the Roman coastline, introducing you to the world of sailing.
A 3-hour experience that will give you a (sweet) taste of life as a sea dog!
What we will do
We’ll meet 10 minutes before the selected time at the marina in Ostia (RM) , Rome. We’ll be welcomed by the skipper and FIV instructor, with whom we’ll spend this half-day sailing!
Once all participants have gathered, the activity will begin with an introductory briefing on the world of sailing. After that, we’ll hoist the sails and be ready to set sail!
We’ll then set off on our sail along the Roman coastline, between Ostia and Fiumicino. During the trip, we can choose whether to relax on board (there’s no planned stop for a swim) or opt for a more hands-on experience by helping the skipper with the sailing manoeuvres, feeling like an active part of the crew.
We’ll finally return to the starting point after about 3 hours.
