Italian term or phrase: gestirmi

This is an interview with a family having enjoyed a luxury sailing boat.

One of the questions the interviewer asks is about their ideal holiday.

The respone is:
"... rispetto a dove doveva essere la mia vacanza dei sogni, invece io immaginerei che questo catamarano andasse in tutti i porti del Mediterraneo e poi io raggiungerli con l'aereo, però gestirmi un po' le Baleari, un po' le isole greche, un po' l'Italia, perché la Costiera Amalfitana sicuramente non è da meno, però riuscire ad avere questa piccola casa galleggiante un po' sparsa in tutte le località del Mediterraneo."

Could someone please help me understand the meaning of "gestirmi" here?

I'd be able to manage

Explanation:
però gestirmi un po' le Baleari, un po' le isole greche, un po' l'Italia

I'd be able to manage a bit/a little of the Balearic islands, a bit of the Greek islands, a bit of Italy

So he is saying that if he flew to the ports he could manage a bit of sailing here and there without it being too tiring.

visiting

Explanation:
As I understand it, the luxury sailing boat sailed the Amalfi Coast only but this person would have liked this "little floating house" to go everywhere in the Mediterranean stopping in all tourist places of interest, so to be able to visit also some of the Balearic and Greek islands, and a bit of Italy.
