Born in Pescara in 1954, I sailed for a long time in the Mediterranean, experiences of oceanic and subpolar navigation, boatswain on vintage sailing ships, skipper in research expeditions on cetaceans and in film and television productions.

I have been sailing together with my boat since it was born; it has been my home for more than 10 years and I have always personally taken care of its maintenance. I was among the first skipper charterers with a regular license in Italy; many of my guests have become friends over time.

The partnership with Francesca began in 2016, when we were crew on the leading boat of a flotilla that offered service and entertainment to American guests: a very demanding job whose success largely depended on her availability and her intuition.

She is a good cook, an attentive and thoughtful hostess, a good sailor, an excellent help in technical maintenance work. A multifaceted girl, sunny, full of energy and enthusiasm.

The Beaufort 16 meters is a classic cruising ketch born in 1975 from the pencil of J.J. Herboulot. It knows how to combine excellent performance under canvas with great habitability and elegance both inside and out.

2 double and 1 twin cabins, with the possibility of two additional seats in the saloon. 2 bathrooms with shower, large saloon and separate crew quarters. Outside cockpit with cushions and removable table, large sunbathing cushions, awnings, external shower with hot water.
