This experience, in a nutshell

For those who are fed up with cool sailing on floating campers and want an experience based on responsible and conscious but still fun nautical tourism!


Welcome aboard my 9 meter boat from 1974. My name is Luca and I am your skipper, The goal of my sailing proposals is to take you with me on a journey to discover life in harmony with the sea as I have been lucky enough to live it since childhood with my family.


The boat is not huge but has all the necessary spaces for a comfortable cruise for 4 people. Nothing is missing in the kitchen to prepare excellent meals, the bathroom extends throughout the beam with generous volumes and double bunks to sleep in comfort with a memory-foam top.


The strong point is the outdoor spaces, being a boat designed for offshore navigation for 6 people operating in the cockpit. The outdoor spaces between the cockpit and the deck up to the bow are truly generous with a sundeck with cushions at risk of becoming addictive to how comfortable it is ;) and the possibility of setting up a hammock during the stops to make the afternoon nap more pleasant.


A cruise suitable for those who, like me, love a dynamic and sporty life from which to draw energy and feel in harmony with nature, friends, following the wind, the sun and even the rain in some cases. A way to really appreciate the simplest things in life, the sense of participation in on-board activities where even washing dishes with sea water to save precious fresh water, becomes a unique experience with your feet in the water and the excuse to take yet another dip in the blue of the Elba sea. The determination to reach the goal by sailing even with little wind, the pleasure of enjoying the time available, what is always missing when you are on land and which is never of the same quality and intensity. What do you think?


Are you one of those who believed the sailboat was only for coolies, always with an aperitif in hand and hunting for the most popular destinations where to go shopping and party? I really hope not, because you would miss out on the truly unique, spontaneous and sincere aspect that only the sailboat and its life on board is able to offer you.


Without giving up the aperitif ;)


So for your next holiday, give it a thought, I'm sure you'll be fascinated. I look forward to welcoming you on board.



Fair winds to all, Luca

Our itinerary

The program includes the circumnavigation of the Elbe to be carried out to the EAST or to the WEST depending on the weather conditions. If the weather permits, we could add a stop at the nearby island of Capraia, about 5 hours of navigation. Also depending on the weather conditions, we will linger more on the south or north coast based on winds and currents and consequent swell to spend beautiful quiet nights at anchor in the most beautiful and unspoiled bays of the island.

Prima esperienza in barca a vela e la settimana insieme a Luca mi fa dire "l'avessi fatto prima!!". E' uno skipper competente e preparato, disponibile e sempre pronto a rispondere ad esigenze e domande. Compagnia meravigliosa degli altri compagni di viaggio e posti stupendi. Da ripetere 1000 altre volte.

L’Elba è una terra bellissima, il mare si alterna tra il verde ed il blu ed abbraccia le rocce di granito che scendono a picco nelle sue profondità. Luca è un vero marinaio, il vento ed il mare sono i suoi veri compagni di vita, si destreggia abilmente tra cime e nodi per portare la sua barca ovunque. È una guida piacevole perché ama e conosce la sua isola e questo ti permette di apprezzarla.

Malgrado il maltempo è stata una bellissima e piacevole settimana! La più bella di tutte le esperienze fatte in barca. Luca è uno Skipper fantastico, attento, prudente e soprattutto disponibile. Una persona gentilissima. La barca anche se di dimensioni piccole, è fantastica! Molto più spaziosa e comoda di altre barche da me provate, più grandi. Ha tutto ciò che serve. Gli altri 2 ospiti Emanuele e il figlio federico, 2 persone belle belle. Siamo Stati benissimo. Tutto perfetto.
