Waow ! What an incredible experience ! You are welcome for an immersion in Fanja, Lucas and Damiano's sea world. This month was amazing : navigation with dolphins🐬, work in a shipyard⛵, friendly diners with lovely people 🥰... So much memories I will never forget. The work was intense and demanding : you have to be flexible and available because it's an out of the ordinary mission for a great cause : enable children to navigate onthe boat, a floating jewellery. It's important to cope with their way of working and living. If you do, you will enjoy an EXTRAORDINARY experience ✨❤️.

For my first experience as a volunteer, Fanja, Lucas and Gancho 🐶 have set the bar really high! I am truly happy i had the opportunity to live and learn with them for almost a month. I feel like i have found another family here in italy, they are really funny and nice people. You will need a few days to adapt a little to their life, you must be ready to work, it is not a "chill" experience, there is a real project with the boats of the association and you are here to help for real ! I came here without any experience, so really ok for beginners, y'oull learn a lot! Can't wait to come back 🫶

Of all my Worldpackers experiences, this was my most meaningful. Fanja, Luca, and the rest of the crew do the most to make you feel part of the family. The work we did was at times tiring, but never too difficult or intimidating. And the food makes it all worth it! Fanja and Luca are very understanding and want you to have the best time. I learned a lot about ships, woodworking, and working with tools and I learned a lot about how to live with intention. They live and work in a particular way, be prepared to adjust your own schedule and attitude to theirs, it will be worth it!

I had a really meaningful and exiting experience atthe boat! Fanja and Lucca are really caring and kind people. I learnt a lot from them not only about boat building, but also about my own path in life. I met alot of new people, some of them who are now my friends. But even when majority of the time it was an amazing experience, I want to be honest and say, it was not all perfect. I personally found adjusting to cultrual diffrences hard, and not understanding the language was at times frustrating. I'd reccomend this experience to people who are intrested in sailing :)

My experience volunteering was not the best. From the beginning there was a lack of communication. I waited three hours to arrive, without prior notice. Living with the hosts was difficult. His attitude generated a tense atmosphere. It did not favor the stay It was difficult for me to adapt and feel welcome. The best thing was meeting two volunteers. I formed a great friendship with them. Thanks to your support, the stay improved. They made the days more bearable. The environment was kinder to them. I appreciate the opportunity to have participated.

It was interesting learning about life on a boat, we absolutly loved to experience the italian cusine from a local's point of view. It was great we had the opportunity to explore Cinque Terre and other towns nearby in our freetime.

I had a wonderful time in la Spezia, working on small boats, sleeping onthe boat, working with wood, playing music, discovering a bit of Italian culture and food (Fanja is a fantastic cooker by the way :) We even celebrated Thanksgiving on the boat, with a homemade pumpkin pie! The vibe was amazing, and the work could really be very varied from day to day. A short time, but I learned a lot. Thank you again Fanja and Luca for this discovery of the world of boats!!! And see you maybe one day in la Spezia or, on the sea :)

Fanja and Lucca are great people who want you to have a good time. They're super blunt in a funny way. The work was fair, in return for amazing food and the boat experience is great. Had an amazing week here.

My experience as part of the boatTradicionale team was amazing! I truly felt like I was apart of Luca, Fanja, and Gancho's family. I had the chance to meet lots of people within the association and a mix of other volunteers. Learning about their way of life and woodwork restoration was super interesting. Our tasks were defined (rules, chore chart) and the work was new everyday. If you're a social, flexible, and spontaneous person who likes unpredictability and hands-on work, this might be for you!

I spent 2 weeks with Fanja and Luca. I truly felt at home with them and learned a lot about working with wood, which was my primary goal when I chose this job. Besides the work, there's also opportunity to explore the surrounding towns. I can only recommend it!
