This experience, in a nutshell

This route will take us to visit the three major islands of the Tuscan archipelago.

Throughout the 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 navigation route will be at night, so that you can admire the shooting stars which are abundant during this period.

Starting from the coast of Tuscany we will head towards Porto Azzurro , worldly but characteristic. It offers shops, clubs, but above all beautiful beaches where to have a regenerating stop.
The island of Giglio , sadly famous for the sinking of the Costa Concordia, offers a fascinating medieval village for its imposing walls, a crystal-clear emerald sea with rich and fishy depths.
We will be able to circumnavigate the sailing island to admire the coast and stop in the winking bays.
We will resume the route and stop at Rio Marina , which is the most authentic town on Elba.
In Capraia we will visit the most beautiful bays of the island including the Motrola famous for its crystal clear waters and full of underwater life and Cala Rossa , a unique little bay in the whole Mediterranean for the particular color of the rocks due to minerals.
In the evening we will be able to enter the pretty little port or stay at the buoys and go down with the small boat to then visit the town, divided into two hamlets, the very welcoming and lively marina and, further up, the real village, which is a very beautiful village and well cared for.

Life on board is relaxed and fun, making new friends and working together to manage common life.
Who wants to 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 it, supporting it 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 in the game by experimenting with maneuvers or taking the helm (under the supervision of the skipper).

Everyone is asked only to participate in the life on board , everyone as he wants and can do, in an atmosphere of fun and mutual collaboration. A box will be created on board to cover the costs of the galley, ports and fuel.

The activities of our association are guided by the ethical values that are the basis of our daily actions: we sail according to the principles of responsible tourism, with respect for the environment to guide us. Our main fuel is wind and our energy is solar.
On board we will collect waste separately and we will not use disposable plastic dishes.

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

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.

Magnificent weekend of sailing on the island of Elba

We spent two unforgettable days on a sailboat, lulled by the sound of the waves, despite the not exactly kind weather, We breathed the essentials of an experience at sea that I would do again tomorrow. What we appreciated most was authenticity: a value that we are losing, but that here you rediscover and understand how precious it is and must be protected. We had the privilege of sharing this experience with a wonderful family, With Valentina and her boys we immediately got in tune, united by the passion for the sea. Sandro, the skipper, with his passion and experience, made everything simple and true, allowing us to experience the sea in depth, safely and without haste. The most intense emotion? The sails that swell in the wind, the silence broken only by the hull that cuts through the water, the feeling of freedom that enters you and makes you feel part of the sea. And then dinner on deck under the stars, with the distant lights of the coast and the breeze caressing the skin, while time seems to stand still. A sore point? It lasted too short! We recommend this experience to those looking for a different, intimate, regenerating and authentic weekend, to return home with a lighter heart and full of gratitude.
