An unforgettable day on board the "Mastro Pasqualino" - A wonderful experience discovering an island that you never stop getting to know.
The excursion on board the "Mastro Pasqualino, a wooden gozzo captained by Alessandro, exceeded all my wildest expectations, allowing me to visit and discover glimpses of the island still unknown to me.
As luck would have it, upon returning, we were able to enjoy the "greeting" of a pod of dolphins, which contributed to making the whole day even more unforgettable.
Comparable to the beauty of Asinara is only the kindness of Alessandro and Patrizia who entertained us for the entire duration of the excursion with curiosities and anecdotes about the island of Asinara.
The lunch on board was excellent and plentiful, washed down with a spectacular Vermentino from Sardinia.
Experience to be redone again and again. It's a shame that I can only give 5 stars, because they deserve many more.

Beautiful experience on the sailing ship - Highly recommended experience for anyone wishing to sail on a sailing ship and visit the enchanting coves between Stintino and Asinara.
The boat is comfortable and also suitable for those who suffer from the sea.
The courtesy and hospitality of Alessandro and Patrizia make the day special, seasoned with a hearty Sardinian-style lunch and numerous stops to enjoy the crystal clear sea.

LIKE A MOVIE - As soon as you jump into this handmade and cozy sailboat you already feel like inside a movie. The places I have visited where stunning and they even explain to you all the details and tips about this amazing island. We even watched the dolphins swimming!!! 🤩High quality food and beverage, hospitality and kindness at a level that I haven’t experienced before. After this incredible day, I have decided not to go on boat anymore rather than this one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Day with friends on board the sailing ship Mastro Pasqualino - Perfect day on board the sailing ship Mastro Pasqualino.
Alessandro and Patrizia are fantastic, we had a great time both with them and with our adventure companions. Delicious and abundant lunch on board with typical Sardinian products.
On board we made several stops in some coves with crystal clear water away from the crowded beaches, where silence, peace and relaxation reigned. Furthermore, during the stop on the island of Asinara we had an encounter with the white donkeys. What can I say, a wonderful day that we can't wait to repeat. Thanks Escursi!
