Sailing and Nature in Portofino

Sailing in these places is a unique experience; the noise of the wind between the sails and the water along the hull help us to reconnect with ourselves and the environment according to a slower pace and on a human scale, a real therapy. As a sailing instructor and marine biologist I am ready to accompany you on this adventure aboard Ivory, a beautiful and safe boat. For those interested, it is possible to organize 1) whale watching trips in search of the whales and dolphins that inhabit these waters and 2) practical sailing exercises. Do not hesitate to contact me for any need. See you soon, Nicolò.
