This experience, in a nutshell

Our journey will begin with a beautiful, fast sail between the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas to discover some of the most beautiful islands and locations. If the sea conditions allow it, we will leave the beautiful Genoa, its historic center, the aquarium and we will leave on the same evening of boarding for a night crossing with which, in the light of the moon and stars, we will reach the splendid island of Capraia, a slice of paradise thrown into the sea the continent and Corsica. Protected as a national park, Capraia is a real jewel starting from the marina and its village perched on the hill and surmounted by the walls of an ancient castle. The coast is magnificent, dotted with bays where we will take beautiful dives and unforgettable swims. The most spectacular is Cala Rossa. After visiting it, driven by the wind, we will reach Elba, the largest of the islands of the Tuscan archipelago and the third largest in Italy.


The first stop will be the delightful Marciana Marina, with its Medici tower and its lively promenade. After skirting the north coast of the island, Capo Bianco, the Chiaie, Porto Ferraio, Rio Marina, and the beautiful green bays around Porto Azzurro where we will stop. Set sails! And after a few miles of navigation here we are swimming in the Seno di Campese bay on the island of Giglio. From then on, it will all be an alternation of splendid views, stacks, cliffs and breathtaking bays, sea to drink. It is impossible to tire of sailing among so many charms and resist the temptation to dive into such a velvety sea. Once we reach the picturesque and lively village of Giglio Porto and after diving into the enchanting bays that surround it, we will sail to Porto Santo Stefano, a picturesque town in the Argentario, our last stop.

Riccardo and "[hidden]" are a lord and a lady of the seas. Many years of experience and many miles have created a symbiosis. Boat well equipped with a complete set of sails and, when there are competent guests, available to use them. 3 cabins and two bathrooms, are more than enough, the comfort of modern boats is not to be pargoned but here you sail and explore every bay, and that type of cockpit is more than comfortable. Nice companions and open to new friendships. Coskipper of the highest level!! Marinella ..... and we are all covered and aligned. Greece never disappoints even in mid-August.

More than a sailing holiday we experienced a week (minus one day as we got off earlier) of continuous transfers, from 6 to 14 hours a day, sailing only the first two days, then due to jib problems only with the engine. Riccardo has to approach Catania for the winter storage of the boat and by selling the seats he has decided to earn money and get paid for the expenses. Old and uncomfortable boat (cockpit without cushions and also without supports for cell phones or glasses). Skipper's photo needs to be updated. Avoid.

Riccardo is a good person but the boat was not prepared to welcome guests, particularly in terms of cleanliness and order. Some episodes, which by an expert person should and could have been predicted and dealt with calmly, generated unnecessary anxiety (lack of fuel in the tender, staysail rigged at the last minute in critical circumstances, disorderly mooring and unmooring maneuvers, instructions to the crew not given sufficiently in advance and clarity, etc.). A general perception of approximation has generated a feeling of insecurity and discomfort which has unfortunately negatively affected the serenity and enjoyment of the holiday.
