This experience, in a nutshell

Adventure and relaxation on a sailing boat to discover the beautiful Tuscan Archipelago among wild islands and pristine beaches. Pushed westwards by the wind, we reach the island of Elba along its entire northern side and then climb up the waters of the cetacean triangle and reach the picturesque island of Capraia , which will be our bridge to Corsica.


We will also sail into the night to fully experience the typical magic of a sailing trip under the spectacle of a starry sky never seen before and dolphins that, following the bright trails of plankton, will guide us to new places to discover.


INGREDIENTS OF EVERY DAY FOR NEW STORIES TO TELL will be:

games, music, friendships, sun, joy and relaxation, fresh fish, marine activities and relaxing sailings along cliffs overlooking the sea, caves and paradisiacal beaches.


TO ENRICH THE EXPERIENCE IN A COMPLETELY OPTIONAL WAY:

- BASIC COURSE TO LEARN HOW TO SAIL A BOAT

- ON-BOARD VIDEO-PHOTO CONTEST TO WIN A NEW WEEKLY ITINERARY!



N.B. The program is sensitive to the will of the crew for any excursions to be decided unanimously.

Lunch on board, dinner in the village and overnight stay in port.


Leg 6

Goatherd

This penultimate day will commit us to find in the evening the Capraia that will already be in our hearts. First, however, the captain will force you to make a stop at the beautiful beach of Lotu, in the famous Saleccia and stop in the bays that we could not discover on the outward journey. Last evening together in Capraia with overnight stay at anchor. 

Leg 7

Return to Baratti

It's the day of the return and in this area of the sea, sailing east in the cetacean triangle it is always easy to find whales and families of dolphins so we could play with them until we reach the port of disembarkation after a last dip in the middle of the sea.


For those who continue the journey to the island of Giglio, Giannutri and Argentario, until the embarkation of the following day (dinner in the village and overnight stay in port)

Seductive weekend on a sailing boat on the island of Elba

Francesca M.

Il mio primo weekend in barca a vela è coinciso con l'ultimo giro di boa della MobyDick all'Isola dell'Elba. Grazie all'equipaggio ben assortito e con un ottimo spirito di adattamento, unitamente all'esperienza e all'estro del nostro skipper Luca, posso dire di aver condiviso una bellissima esperienza! Pronta a salpare di nuovo ;)

Ottimo skipper, ottima compagnia e ottima vacanza. Luca è uno skipper molto competente e sempre disponibile ad assecondare le richieste degli ospiti, ponendosi sempre con grandi sorrisi giovialità. Se volete fare vacanze in Toscana, lui è sicuramente uno dei migliori, disposto ad insegnare anche nozioni di vela.

Gruppo e posti meravigliosi, peccato per la barca che necessitava di manutenzione, da rivedere anche la pulizia che è la cosa più importante.
