This experience, in a nutshell

Four days of sea, sailing and relaxation among some of the most beautiful islands of the Tuscan archipelago, following wind and weather without haste.

It starts from Piombino with a route to Elba and, if conditions permit, up to the wilder Capraia: bays reachable only from the sea, clear water, sunsets in the roadstead and small villages where you can stop for a walk or a dinner overlooking the port.

It is an experience designed for those who really want to experience the sea: sailing when the wind allows it, slow rhythms, swimming, snorkeling and a simple and shared life on board.

There will only be 4 guests on board, to have space, comfort and an authentic atmosphere, far from mass tourism.

Gianni and his wife Simona were really impeccable, they immediately make you feel at ease and it creates an atmosphere like being with the family. The weather was very difficult and unpredictable this week, and we had to change plans day by day. A situation that could easily ruin the holiday. Instead our skipper has always found the solutions to ensure the safety of the crew and at the same time be able to have fun and relax. Really thank you very much and we hope to see you again in the future!
