This experience, in a nutshell

Get on board and treat yourself to a winter adventure between sea, trekking and magic.

A unique, authentic and fun experience, perfect for those who want to really disconnect and discover the Island of Elba in its rarest form: winter.


Boarding at the cabin — even for solo travelers! Double cabins, group atmosphere, new friendships guaranteed.

From Tuscany to northern Corsica, a sailing marvel

Really fantastic week. We managed to stick to the program Fortunately thanks to the weather and I must say combined both the visit to beautiful bays and beaches and really lovely villages. Not knowing the areas, Francesco carefully guided us in the choice of destinations, given his in-depth knowledge of the area. Furthermore, although overall we did not find much wind, it was guaranteed that the sail would ALWAYS be open in search of the right "thrust", which is rare during the other weeks on a sailing boat. So highly recommend if you like sailing

Southern Corsica & Maddalena - embarkation and disembarkation from Tuscany

The destination, the southwest of Corsica, is a guarantee of beautiful bays with blue sea and clear seabed. Arriving there with the crossing from Tuscany added the right element of "travel", also allowing you to get to know some glimpses and inlets of the island of Elba. Francesco is a skilled and prepared skipper, who promotes active interaction within the group, and raises the sails whenever possible. Certainly a very positive person, who prefers staying at sea to docking in port (never done in the whole trip🙂), and who transmits his authentic passion for the sea. I found the boat efficient and comfortable, and, in short, it was really a beautiful "holiday tour".
