This experience, in a nutshell

March and April, the

days get longer, we begin to breathe the spring air and the desire to go sailing and experience the sea begins to grow inside us. And we have decided to give you an experience of sailing, sea and sport, to live a different adventure of two days and two nights,  full of  fun and relaxation to discover the island of  Elba.


With its 147 km of coastline, it is the third largest island in Italy. An island rich in fauna and flora, marine and terrestrial, and very different landscapes. From the Mediterranean scrub to the woods on the cliffs overlooking the sea, from the rolling hills to Mount Capanne of 1019 meters, Elba is a coveted and renowned destination for trekking and e-bike enthusiasts from all over Europe. Breathtaking landscapes that frame the villages with their characteristic villages, are waiting to be explored, relying on the expert hands of our e-bike guides who will provide us not only with the vehicles, but also with their technical skills, to safely experience this fun adventure suitable for everyone. Along we will pass through the Ripalte estate, an area of 450 hectares from where you can admire beautiful landscapes. And then a stop at one of the ancient iron mines on the island, where we will entrust ourselves to the hands of another guide who will accompany us for a guided tour inside the mine.


Our starting point will be the beautiful Marina di San Vincenzo, easily accessible by car and easy to reach by train, as the station is only 200 meters from the port.


After arranging our belongings in the cabin and the galley, we will immediately set off sailing at sunset towards Elba and depending on the weather conditions, we will decide whether to anchor in the beautiful Gulf of Baratti or whether to reach the island late in the evening by sailing at night.

Our itinerary will be dictated by the weather, depending on the forecast we will decide which route to follow, which part of the island to visit and whether to spend the night at anchor or in port.

The itineraries can satisfy both the most experienced and those approaching the world of sailing for the first time. On board, everyone will be able to learn the basics of sailing and participate in maneuvers. They will be days of sport, relaxation, nature and fun in company.


In fact, we will sail in a flotilla, with another boat, one more opportunity to socialize and why not, challenge the other crew in short races.

Our itinerary

We will set sail at sunset and with the bow to the south, we will begin our navigation towards Elba. Depending on the wind of the moment, we will decide whether to sail at night to our destination or to make a stop for the night in the Gulf of Baratti. In the morning we will sail along the second route that separates us from Porto Azzurro. Once at anchor we will go ashore, where our guide will be waiting for us with the e-bikes.
From here the tour will begin.

After receiving the necessary technical notions from the guide, we will walk along some of the countless routes suitable for everyone that run along the coast and inland, to add the south side. We will cross the Ripalte estate enjoying beautiful landscapes surrounded by nature overlooking the sea, to reach one of the ancient iron mines scattered along the south-east coasts of the island. Here we will join another guide who will accompany us for a guided tour inside a mine, giving us a unique and evocative experience.

On the way back we will visit the village of Porto Azzurro, certainly the most chic, with its village characterized by colorful houses enriched with flowers and climbing plants. In the evening, for those who want, we can enjoy a good dinner in one of the many restaurants in the village, then we return to the boat and get ready for the night. In the morning we will save the anchor and we will enjoy a bit of sailing in the Strait of Piombino, which thanks to its conformation is crossed by events that always make us have a lot of fun. We will stop at the island of Palmaiola and here we will have lunch and then resume sailing and return to San Vincenzo.

Bellissima esperienza, bellissimo equipaggio, ma soprattutto ottimo Skipper!!! Marco mette a suo agio le persone, sempre disponibile e molto preparato. Mi ha permesso di affrontare serenamente la mia prima esperienza in barca a vela. Visitando nuovi posti grazie anche alla perfetta combinazione barca a vela + trekking (e ben organizzata, un ringraziamento anche Francesco "Checco" la nostra guida!) Grazie a tutto il meraviglioso gruppo che mi ha accompagnato in questa nuova avventura!!!

Ottima vacanza, che ci ha permesso di godere sia del piacere di navigare in uno splendido mare, sia di fare delle piacevoli camminate tra i boschi della costa dell'isola, baciati da un caldo sole di inizio Ottobre. Marco (skypper) e Checco (guida trekking) sono 2 persone eccellenti sia per le loro caratteristiche umane, sia per la loro professionalità. Marco è una persona sempre attenta alle necessità e richieste della "ciurma", ci ha assistito e guidato in questa breve (purtroppo) vacanza facendoci scoprire angoli meravigliosi di una natura ancora sorprendente e, non ultimo, i piaceri del palato in ristorantini che non avremmo mai scoperto da soli, ma anche, in barca, dove ci ha cucinato una gustosissima pasta col pesce che aveva pescato lui stesso. Infine un ringraziamento ai compagni di viaggio che hanno reso questa gita quello che speravo: relax, divertimento ed un'ottima esperienza umana. Un saluto a tutti, speriamo di rivederci alla prossima. Buon Vento a tutti.

Ho trascorso un bellissimo weekend in barca a vela con uno skipper davvero eccezionale, la sua competenza e la sua esperienza si sono dimostrate fondamentali per rendere l’esperienza sicura e divertente. Lo skipper ha reso il viaggio ancora più speciale con le sue storie e la sua passione per la vela. Per gli amanti del trekking l’isola d’Elba è il posto perfetto con i suoi sentieri che attraversano boschi e scogliere affacciate sul mare,. È stato davvero un weekend rilassante e avventuroso, grazie Marco
