Merci à Luca et Brano pour cette formidable expérience à bord de leur superbe catamaran. Ces quelques jours de croisière entre la Dominique et la Martinique resteront l’une de mes plus belles expériences en mer. Découverte des fonds marins, cours de voile, séance guidée de respiration le tout accompagné d’une cuisine soignée, de cabines et espaces communs très confortables mais surtout d’une gentillesse et d’une bonne humeur permanentes…rien ne manque à bord. Je recommande très vivement!

È stato un viaggio fantastico fuori dal…
È stato un viaggio fantastico fuori dal tempo e dal mondo! Ci siamo lasciati trasportare da vento e onde fino alle isole più remote dei caraibi… Tobago Cays, Saint Vincent, Saint Lucia, Bequia.. ogni giorno una nuova sorpresa, ricca di emozioni e coinvolgimento! Un sogno i tramonti morbidi in barca, due risate tra amici e un bicchiere, introduzione al free diving, le nuotate tra tartarughe marine e mante!…

The time spent on the catamaran IKIGAI
The time spent on the catamaran IKIGAI left me with unforgettable moments and experiences from the island of Dominica. The food on the boat was delicious, especially the fresh caught and prepared fish and the Italian spaghetti carbonara was the best I have ever eaten. Both guys Brano and Luca are not only great freedivers but also chefs!
Thank you Brano and Luca for activities like spearfishing and freediving, snorkeling and guided tour of Dominica Island connected with swimming in waterfalls with crystal clear water in conjunction with thermal springs….
