June 29th Sailing Break
Escape the city and kick off your summer with an unforgettable long weekend in the crystal-clear waters of Ponza and Palmarola, venturing all the way to the magical Ventotene. Join our 2-boat flotilla for an experience that blends relaxation, adventure, and new friendships, sailing through the most spectacular bays of the Pontine Islands. From night sailing under the stars to diving at Cala Brigantina and the Faraglioni di Lucia Rosa, every moment is designed to let you experience the sea at its finest, between sunset aperitifs at the Terrazze di Chiaia di Luna and unforgettable evenings among the islands’ charming alleys.
Whether you want to relax in the sun or test yourself with sailing maneuvers, professional skippers will be on hand to guide you. The group, made up of people between the ages of 23 and 45, is designed to be balanced and diverse, fostering great friendships in the true Different Sailing spirit and in line with our motto: Have Fun Sailing. Life on board, flotilla parties, and tender excursions will allow you to reach hidden spots such as the Cattedrali or the Faraglioni di Mezzogiorno.
How is our June 29th long weekend organized?
The journey begins on Thursday evening in Nettuno with galley organization and a suggestive night sail, allowing you to wake up directly among the turquoise waters of Palmarola. The program continues toward Ponza for full days of diving, sailing lessons, and the must-have sunset aperitif, including a special stop at Ventotene for a magical evening and a morning wake-up in its clear waters. The final day will be dedicated to tender excursions at Cala Francese before setting course for Nettuno, with arrival expected by 6:00 PM.

Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Ottima esperienza.Pubblicato su Alessandro RotilioTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Ho partecipato all'ultimo Corso Skipper 2025. Esperienza bellissima, il coach Matteo è stato gentile, preparato e professionale, mette tutti a proprio agio. L'integrazione tra l'equipaggio è stata perfetta "a uniso". Grazie alla nuova barca da 51 piedi di Different Sailing la permanenza a bordo è stata magica e confortevole. Teoria e tanta pratica a 360, strumentazione di ultima generazione, winch elettrici e avvolgi randa sull'albero. Esperienza che tutti dovrebbero fare a prescindere. Dietro a tutto questo naturalmente c'è Simone, persona di grande esperienza e talento che da anni trasforma le persone in il veri marinai, velisti e comandati. Grazie Different SailingPubblicato su paolo RannoTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Corso skipper consigliato! Matteo un ottimo istruttore, e compagnia stupenda!Pubblicato su Alessandro MazzellaTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Appena terminato il corso skipper, è stata un’esperienza fantastica!! Grazie all’imbarcazione messa a disposizione e alla professionalità dello skipper Matteo abbiamo trascorso un fantastico weekend tra le isole di Ponza e Palamrola. Navigazione notturna, manovre di ancoraggio ed ormeggio, e tutto il resto per acquisire maggiore esperienza di vela, hanno reso il corso uno steep fondamentale per continuare a praticare questa passione. Spero di uscire di nuovo in mare quanto prima con Different Sailing !!Pubblicato su GIORGIO STAZITrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Esperienza bellissima sia sotto il profilo "didattico" ( si impara davvero stando sul pezzo!) che umano avendo avuto la fortuna di far parte di un gruppo davvero top!!! E grazie a Matteo che ci ha davvero lasciati "liberi di imparare" senza timore per i nostri errori, ma lasciandoci tanta libertà di sbagliare, capire ed imparare per non sbagliare più. A presto!Pubblicato su Fabio FilippiTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Ho appena completato un corso di 3 fine settimana con different Sail con l’istruttore Matteo. Mi sento veramente di consigliare questo corso a tutti quelli che vogliono diventare più sicuri e capire bene cosa come si gestisce una barca a vela. Matteo è stato bravissimo nel mettere a suo agio tutti dando consigli utilissimi e pratici. A fine corso io ho raggiunto l’obiettivo che avevo. Straconsigliatissimo e grande MatteoPubblicato su Mauro CostantiniTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Esperienza fondamentale per la sicurezza di comando di una imbarcazione. Seguire le indicazioni di Differen Sailing e confrontarsi con altri futuri Skipper è stato di grande aiuto per me. Un ringraziamento sentito al Comandante Alessandro e a tutto il meraviglioso gruppo con cui ho condiviso questa bellissima esperienza. Buon vento a tutti.Pubblicato su mario brossTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Grazie Alessandro e grazie Simone, il corso di conduzione di Catamarano è stato rispondente alle mie aspettative soprattutto abbiamo eseguito ormeggi in condizioni di vento sostenuto e ha formato anche un bel gruppo di persone. Sicuramente ci rivedremo per altri corsi. Buon vento ⛵️🤙Pubblicato su stefano orlandi
