Description of Luigi's sailboat
Beneteau - Oceanis 430 | 6 People
When the Beneteau shipyard asked Philipe Briand to design a very comfortable and easy to manage boat, the designer, no stranger to this type of design, quickly proposed what would become the Oceanis 430, a generously sized cruising hull with sailing contained in full Beneteau philosophy. Especially suitable for those who love comfortable cruises spent between long stops at anchor and large lunches with friends, it guarantees great safety during navigation. Mobility on board is easy and the space reserved for the crew, both on deck and in the welcoming cockpit, is approved for 12 seats. The boat is particularly suitable for comfortable cruises spent between long stops at anchor, aperitifs and lunches with friends and guarantees great safety during navigation. Navigation is organized in such a way as to allow guests to enjoy the sun, uncontaminated nature, diving, visits and trekking on land, as well as learning maritime art. Interiors In the years in which this boat was built, it was still common to make boats with real wood interiors, with solid wood moldings, exposed drawers and upholstered ceilings. All of this can be seen and pleases the eye on the Oceanis 430. The boat is still one of those that create a marine atmosphere and give its owner the pleasure of owning it. The instrumentation Equipped with the best safety equipment, over the years it has been constantly adapted to modern needs: AIS tracking system, photovoltaic and wind turbine to ensure our cell phones and notebooks never run out of charge, autopilot, plotter for maximum assistance in planning of routes, wind station, depth sounder. The engine On a sailing boat it is supposed to be used as little as possible, but, if necessary, it must be absolutely reliable. For this reason, to push the boat during transfers, we installed a new 50 hp Volvo Penta D2-50 engine.

Luigi is a fantastic host and professional. He gave us a fabulous week with his availability and professionalism. Thank you Luigi. See you next time and fair winds
Spending a week on a cruise to the Aeolian Islands was an unforgettable experience. The skipper who accompanied us, Luigi, was essential in making this holiday so special. Right from the start, Luigi knew how to find the right balance between privacy and socialization. When we needed tranquility to enjoy family moments, he was discreet and gave us our space. At the same time, when we wanted to share our days and exchange stories, Luigi turned out to be a really interesting person, with vast experience to share. The Aeolian Islands themselves were a breathtaking sight. We explored hidden coves, pristine beaches and volcanic landscapes. Each island has given us glimpses of extraordinary beauty, making us more and more in love with this wonderful part of the Mediterranean.

Una vita vissuta intensamente senza, ove possibile, porre limiti al mio spirito libero e ribelle. Cinque figli, laurea in ingegneria elettronica, ho lavorato con alcune tra le più grandi società internazionali in Italia e all'estero. Nato ai piedi delle montagne, ho dapprima praticato sci a livello agonistico. Nel 1990 ho frequentato i corsi per la Patente Nautica senza limiti presso la Lega Navale di Torino e l'ho acquisita immediatamente ad Andora. Nel 2007 ho affinato la tecnica della navigazione con Angelo Preden, primo italiano ad aver attraversato l'Oceano Atlantico in solitaria. In questi ultimi anni ho molto navigato a vela in tutto il Mediterraneo, spesso in solitaria. Ho partecipato a forum di navigazione con Giovanni Soldini. Durante le vacanze sono felice se gli ospiti mi chiedono di imparare le tecniche di navigazione e provare a condurre l'imbarcazione. Trasmettere l’amore per il mare, per il vento e per l’andare a vela, alla scoperta di un nuovo modo di vivere la vacanza, alternando mondanità e natura selvaggia, paesaggi incantevoli e notti di musica e stelle. Questi sono i miei desideri. Forse, sono anche i vostri. Luigi.
