Guide to short-term boat trips
Two out-of-town days different from the usual in search of spectacular places and bays reachable only by sea to discover the charm of life on a boat and the beauty of the sea from a different perspective
A sailing experience is definitely the best way to spend a few days in touch with nature to unplug and get away from the mainland. Ideal for rejuvenating yourself, clearing your mind and feeling at peace with the world: the only noise other than that of the sea will be laughter in the cockpit and chatting under the stars. It will only take two days to believe you have been gone much longer and to choose to return aboard, but this time for a full week's vacation.
The coasts of Italy or France, with their mild climates and views, are perfect destinations for a weekend boating trip.
Whether you plan a weekend travelling solo or with some friends or family, it makes no difference. The important thing is to find a time to regain your energy. A weekend is enough to fall in love with the sea, with life on a boat, with the sun, with a moonlit embrace, and with the poetry that these moments give.

Best destinations for a weekend sailing vacation
Amalfi Coast: a VIP weekend
A weekend sailing trip to the picturesque villages of the Coast: Ravello, Amalfi, Sorrento and Positano. The legendary Amalfi Coast, rich in history, is surrounded by a crystal clear sea that bathes small beaches and steep coastlines in which caves carved into the tuff open up among vineyards and fruit trees. If the Coast is famous among tourists for its streets, it is even more so for its waters!
From the Gulf of Naples to Capri and Ischia
Embarking from Naples on a weekend you can sail between Procida, Ischia and Capri. Procida, an island of volcanic origin, is characterized by a rugged coastline and small bays where you can stop at anchor for a dip. Ischia, an island paradise with fine sandy beaches, shallow waters and renowned thermal waters rich in minerals. You will then set sail for Capri, the most exclusive and world-famous island for its beauty and stacks. Here, too, you will sail along rugged coastlines, caves and steep cliffs. A perfect weekend to unplug while admiring Vesuvius always in the background.
Between Liguria and the French Riviera
You can discover the most picturesque Liguria with its seaside villages. Sail between the Gulf of Poets, Palmaria Island, Portovenere, Lerici and the stunning Cinque Terre, discovering unspoiled places and romantic coves. You can travel through the villages by land in one direction and then admire all their beauty from the sea to turn back, relaxing on the deck of your boat. Also not to be missed are San Fruttuoso, Santa Margherita Ligure and the quaint Camogli.
Embarking instead from the Riviera di Ponente or from France, you can sail touching on Menton, Monte Carlo and Nice. A short vacation immersed in Mediterranean colors and scents, discovering the clear turquoise waters that gave this area its name.
Discovering the Tuscan Archipelago
The island of Elba and Capraia are perfect destinations for a weekend sailing trip. Three days different from the usual dedicated to nature, trekking and sailing, discovering small villages and unspoiled bays.
If you embark further south, you can opt for a sail along the Argentario to the islands of Giglio and Giannutri, which are less popular with tourists. You will swim in turquoise sea and secret coves. In the evening ashore you can indulge in a dinner of the freshest fish in one of the typical small restaurants.
The Pontine Islands: the pearls of the central Tyrrhenian Sea
The lure of coves of rare beauty, the proximity between the islands, quaint little ports and unparalleled hospitality make the Pontine Islands a worthwhile destination. Ponza rich in rocky and sandy beaches, stacks and natural arches; Palmarola with its uninhabited caves and coves; the mysterious Ventotene with its popular character and typical locales on the harbor.
Considering the hours of crossing if you embark from Anzio or Nettuno, in a weekend you usually manage to touch Ponza and Palmarola, in a long weekend even Ventotene.
