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 brand new marina of Piombino, easily reachable by car and one of the closest ports to Elba, just 5 miles away!



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-west we will begin our navigation towards Elba, where we will choose a bay to anchor and spend the night. 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 weigh anchor and 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 Piombino.

Edoardo è uno skipper davvero preparato e soprattutto molto attento alle esigenze di tutte le persone a bordo, rende la convivenza in barca estremamente piacevole ed allegra. Noi abbiamo vissuto un'esperienza eccezionale e conosciuto un equipaggio magnifico come lo skipper. La barca è comoda, lunga 13,8mt x 4mt di larghezza e ben equipaggiata, Edoardo ci ha consentito di collaborare sempre in massima sicurezza e ci ha fornito preziosi consigli. Per noi un'esperienza indimenticabile che consiglio assolutamente a tutti.

Edoardo ci ha guidato alla scoperta di una vacanza indimenticabile. Il tragitto proposto è stato perfetto e lo Skipper ha saputo subito intuire ed assecondare i desideri dell'equipaggio. è nata subito la sintonia con la famiglia conosciuta a bordo ed abbiamo condiviso allegramente tutte le attività. La barca è comoda e pulita, ci siamo sentiti immediatamente a nostro agio. Edoardo è anche un paziente insegnante, questo ha permesso a tutto l'equipaggio di poter collaborare ed essere parte attiva durante le manovre e le veleggiate. Infine, navigare accanto alla barca di Fratè Marco ha aggiunto punti all'esperienza che ci piacerebbe molto ripetere!

Edoardo è uno skipper eccezionale! La sua esperienza e conoscenza di mare/venti è stata evidente da subito creando ambiente di fiducia e sicurezza per tutto l'equipaggio. La sua abilità nel navigare e condurre la barca hanno reso il viaggio fluido e piacevole. Oltre alla sua professionalità Edoardo ha una passione contagiosa per il mare e la vela condividendo con l'equipaggio timone, manovre, spiegazioni su come si veleggia, le Isole Capraia/Elba arricchendo cosi l'esperienza complessiva. La sua cortesia e attenzione alle esigenze di ciascun membro dell'equipaggio hanno reso la vacanza speciale! Cercherò altre occasioni per navigare nuovamente con lui e lo raccomanderei senza esitazioni a chi cerchi un'esperienza davvero super!
