We are not a charter company, but friends who like to sail
As a member of the Lega Navale Italiana we practice the free teaching of sailing with our own boat according to what is expressed in the statute of the LNI and in our navigation we follow the principles of the statute:
- To spread the seafaring spirit, knowledge of maritime problems, love for the sea and commitment to the protection of the marine environment among the population, especially the young ones.
- Promote and support the practice of pleasure craft, seafaring sports and other navigation activities, contributing to the teaching of nautical culture.
- The members are the vital force of the association, they must engage in activities aimed at achieving the statutory purposes with loyalty, passion, initiative, altruistic spirit and fidelity to the spirit of the association itself, with the contribution of their own maritime cultural preparation and experience, including making proprietary boats available.
The preference in the choice of crews is aimed at young people who demonstrate enthusiasm in learning seafaring activities.
Sometimes the crews are made up of LNI members and their friends but to make long and demanding navigations, as in the Aegean, the website www.findacrew.net is used. In this site there are the profiles of those who want to embark and based on these it is possible to select the people with the right characteristics.

Photographic Project
Sailing with La Bum
With my photographic project I intend to show the activities that take place aboard my sailing boat “La Bum” during a cruise and the resulting benefits, with the aim of transmitting my experience of sea life to those who get on board to learn the basics of sailing or to enjoy life on the sea.
