This experience, in a nutshell

We will meet at the boat on Thursday around 6 pm, those who prefer the next day by 10.30 am with the galley already made and coordinated in a group chat. After settling into the cabins and a briefing in which I will give you general information about the boat, the attention to have, the weather forecast and various mutual questions, we will set sail for Capraia which we will reach with about 5 and a half hours of navigation.


Once there you take a first swim among the most beautiful coves that the island offers us and after relaxing you enter the port for the preparations of the party and why not, an aperitif on the boat.


Saturday after breakfast we will go out by boat to see other bays of the island, swimming, lunch on board, relaxation and returning to the port we will stop in another unspoiled cove, if we are lucky we will meet our cetacean friends.


On Saturday evening you can dine on the boat or immerse yourself in the festival among delicious fish dishes in particular fresh squid, local wine, music and dancing.


The next morning after another swim on the east side of the island, we will leave the island to return to Marina di Cecina with lunch at sea.

Beautiful experience. Filippo is a professional and experienced skipper. We sailed both under sail and by motor in complete safety, the skipper was available to explain the maneuvers, involving the crew members who wanted to do it in the management of the boat. Clean, comfortable, efficient, well-equipped boat. Very beautiful island of Capraia perfect for a three-day weekend.
