This experience, in a nutshell

Do you like going to sea? With me you will not only take a vacation. As a sailing instructor I will convey to you what I know if you want to learn it, with the aim of thrilling you by sailing in the Tuscan archipelago.

Come and enjoy the crisp air. The sun that is just pleasure, sunrises and sunsets surprise you

and the intimacy of sharing the boat and the passion of going to sea.

Let yourself be surprised by the sensations you feel when you leave the mooring, sleep in the open sea, the chatter of the waves, the stories whispered by the wind and the colors of the sea.

For two days the destination is Elba, with more days also other islands of the Tuscan archipelago (see customize the holiday)

Impossible sea weather conditions?

We recover on the first free date for both.

Sailing and the sea for me mean above all sailing, relaxation, nature, sharing experiences, stories.

Super experienced and helpful skipper. He helped us learn the basics of sailing and life on a sailing boat. Great chef skills!

Good morning, I am happy that the sea and wind conditions have allowed us to really go sailing, I have learned that waves and wind are not always in agreement, I have understood how the compass works with degrees, thanks also to the great experience of Ivo who explained everything to us. Elba is so rich that it deserves many more days and means to get closer to the rocks and swim in the caves. On the whole, I would say that I perceived the somewhat austere beauty of sailing in the Tuscan islands. thanks, Cecilia

Beautiful experience. Following Ivo s instructions, we sailed for two days, contributing personally to the management of the boat. But above all we found a familiar and very pleasant environment discovering wonderful corners of Elba. The dinner at anchor in Porto Azzurro was a dream. Thank you Ivo for sharing a little bit of your life with us.

I had other experiences on a boat, but I never felt as comfortable right away as with Ivo. The love for the sea is contagious, you know, but it is the passion and competence with which he told us about the world of sailing that makes the difference: we went ashore with more nostalgia than I would have ever imagined. I would really like to get back on the boat with him for a new adventure
