This experience, in a nutshell

On this mini cruise we will visit two beautiful islands of the Tuscan archipelago: Elba, the worldly one, and Capraia, the wild one.

Throughout our route we will stop in the bays that we consider the most beautiful for lunch, relaxation and swimming in the sea. Furthermore, depending on the weather conditions, a section of navigation will be at night, a magical and exciting experience.

The first day we will sail towards Rio Marina which is a pretty little tourist town, where you can breathe the authentic climate of the island. The following day we will go to the north side of the island of Elba and visit the famous beaches of Biodola and Viticcio , for the night we will be able to choose whether to anchor safely in a beautiful sheltered bay or sail a few more miles and reach Marciana Marina and then descend. ashore and visit the country.
Marciana is a charming fishing village with small and picturesque neighborhoods, narrow streets and pastel-colored houses, which has recently discovered a strong tourist vocation.

In the morning we will resume navigation with a route to the Island of Capraia . Here we will visit the most beautiful bays of the island including Mortola , famous for its crystal clear waters and full of underwater life, and Cala Rossa , a unique bay in the whole Mediterranean for the particular color of the rocks due to minerals.
In the evening we can enter the pretty port or stay at the buoys and get off with the rubber boat and then visit the town, which is divided into two hamlets, the very welcoming and lively port and, further up, the real town, which is a very beautiful and well-kept village.

On the last day we will circumnavigate the island to be able to admire it from all sides and in the evening, weather conditions permitting, we will depart at night to reach Golfo Baratti . The moon in this period is in the waxing phase, so we will sail under a beautiful starry vault. In the morning we will have breakfast in this beautiful bay, and those who wish can take a swim in the sea again, then we will reach the port of arrival for disembarkation.


Life on board is relaxed and fun, you make new friends and work together in the management of common life.
Those who want can enjoy the sun and those who want to learn, will find in our skipper a valid teacher who will gladly give the helm to those who want to try their hand at managing, supporting him with valuable advice.
On board, everyone can freely choose whether to relax and enjoy the holiday in complete relaxation, or whether to try to get involved by experimenting with the maneuvers or taking the helm (under the supervision of the skipper).

Everyone is only asked to participate in life on board , as each one wants and can do, in an atmosphere of fun and mutual collaboration. A crate will be created on board to support the costs of food, ports and fuel.

Too bad for the lack of wind... We had to go motor. Overall they were two beautiful days. Sandro is kind and helpful, with interesting conversations. Thank you

Between Elba and Capraia with the wind in our sails!

The itinerary is interesting and fascinating, the boat is not exactly 100% efficient due to some important deficiencies that penalized the week. Capable and competent skipper but not very empathetic. Excellent company, nice and cheerful. Overall sufficient judgment.

L'Île de Beauté: sailing in Corsica with night return

We have just concluded a wonderful week-long cruise with Captain Sandro, an experience that we will always carry in our hearts. Thanks to his expert guide we reached northern Corsica, visiting Capraia, Macinaggio and the charming village of Centuri: unforgettable baths, aperitifs and a sunset dinner of rare beauty, before returning to the Island of Elba due to the worsening weather conditions. What makes sailing with Sandro unique is not only the knowledge of the most authentic places, but above all his extraordinary experience. Always attentive to the weather forecast, he was able to make wise and safe decisions. Sandro in adverse weather conditions showed a cool head and competence by bringing us to safety at the port, avoiding risks for both us and the boat. With him, the sea is experienced in its beauty, but always in total safety. A true commander, in the truest sense of the word. Highly recommended for those who want an unforgettable cruise, between wonderful places and the certainty of being in expert hands.
