This experience, in a nutshell

Experience a unique long weekend dedicated to sailing and local traditions on the occasion of the Squid Festival in Capraia. The adventure begins with a leisurely icebreaker dinner, before setting sail for the Tuscan island.


While sailing, you'll be able to enjoy the sea breeze, learn something new about sailing, and with a bit of luck, fish your own lunch. Upon arrival in Capraia, the atmosphere of the festival will welcome you with genuine flavors and a warm welcome.


The island offers a variety of experiences for all tastes: from wild landscapes perfect for trekking lovers, to enchanting coves ideal for those who prefer to relax in the sun or take a dip. We can explore the village with its local restaurants and shops, or choose to participate in the events of the festival, including music and delicacies based on squid.


This long weekend is an opportunity to discover the best of Capraia, between boat adventure and the lively party atmosphere that animates the island.
