This experience, in a nutshell

Three days and three nights of sea, sport and relaxation in company. Three days to switch off and recharge your batteries. Sailing in a flotilla for three days is the right middle ground, between a short weekend and a week, to fully enjoy a unique island like Elba.

With a long weekend it is already possible to organize a more complete itinerary and, if the weather allows it, even to circumnavigate the island!


We will head to the Island of Elba, the largest of the archipelago, with its 147 km of coastline where the most disparate landscapes alternate with delightful villages and dreamy views!

This time of the season is magical for sailing, the water begins to have that perfect temperature that invites you to take long swims and the days are long, we are now in summer with unique shows of colors and scents. And the great privilege of being able to enjoy it from a unique point of view, that of the sailboat!


Our base will be the new marina of Piombino, the port just a few miles from the Island of Elba, it is easy to reach by car and therefore the ideal starting point for our trips.

After arranging our belongings in the cabin and the galley, we will immediately set off at sunset towards the island of Elba. Our itinerary will be dictated by the weather, depending on the forecast we will decide which route to follow, which part of the island to visit and whether to spend the night at anchor or in port.


The itineraries can satisfy both the most experienced and those approaching the world of sailing for the first time. On board, everyone will be able to learn the basics of sailing and participate in maneuvers. They will be days of sport, relaxation, nature and fun in company.

In fact, we will sail in a flotilla, with another boat, one more opportunity to socialize and why not, challenge the other crew in short races.

Our itinerary

The map is purely indicative, our itinerary will be dictated by the weather, based on that we will decide which way to start the tour and which route to follow.

Once the cabins have been assigned and the galley has been arranged, we will leave immediately for the island.


To the north, in addition to the intriguing capital of the island, Portoferraio, rich in history and charm, we can sail in the beautiful gulfs of Viticcio, Biodola and Procchio, visit Marciana Marina and San Andrea, delightful seaside villages with restaurants and typical shops.

After Punta Polveraia we will then be in the western part of the island, the wildest and most unspoiled area, the steep rocky walls and the beautiful seabed guide us to discover places such as Pomonte, a stop at the wreck is mandatory, and going down again we arrive at the spectacular beach of Fetovaia.

Continuing on, you enter the beautiful south side of Elba, with its three large gulfs: Marina di Campo, Lacona and Golfo Stella. All three are different and fascinating in their own way, we can find all kinds of seabeds, beautiful villages to explore and even old abandoned mines such as those of Capoliveri in Punta dei Rialti.

Rounding Punta dei Rialti we are to the east which is certainly not to be outdone and offers us other beauties of nature such as the islets of Ortano and Palmaiola or the large gulf of Porto Azzurro, we can give them again and go ashore to visit the town, the most chic on the island! Going up we then find ancient mining villages such as Rio Marina and Cavo.

Esperienza bellissima, nonostante il meteo non abbia consentito di raggiungere Capraia, lo skipper Edoardo ha organizzato con Francesco, la guida trekking, un itinerario molto divertente ed esaustivo dell'isola d'Elba. Edoardo bravo, competente e molto comunicativo, davvero una bella persona!

Edoardo è uno skipper davvero preparato e soprattutto molto attento alle esigenze di tutte le persone a bordo, rende la convivenza in barca estremamente piacevole ed allegra. Noi abbiamo vissuto un'esperienza eccezionale e conosciuto un equipaggio magnifico come lo skipper. La barca è comoda, lunga 13,8mt x 4mt di larghezza e ben equipaggiata, Edoardo ci ha consentito di collaborare sempre in massima sicurezza e ci ha fornito preziosi consigli. Per noi un'esperienza indimenticabile che consiglio assolutamente a tutti.

Edoardo ci ha guidato alla scoperta di una vacanza indimenticabile. Il tragitto proposto è stato perfetto e lo Skipper ha saputo subito intuire ed assecondare i desideri dell'equipaggio. è nata subito la sintonia con la famiglia conosciuta a bordo ed abbiamo condiviso allegramente tutte le attività. La barca è comoda e pulita, ci siamo sentiti immediatamente a nostro agio. Edoardo è anche un paziente insegnante, questo ha permesso a tutto l'equipaggio di poter collaborare ed essere parte attiva durante le manovre e le veleggiate. Infine, navigare accanto alla barca di Fratè Marco ha aggiunto punti all'esperienza che ci piacerebbe molto ripetere!

Edoardo è uno skipper eccezionale! La sua esperienza e conoscenza di mare/venti è stata evidente da subito creando ambiente di fiducia e sicurezza per tutto l'equipaggio. La sua abilità nel navigare e condurre la barca hanno reso il viaggio fluido e piacevole. Oltre alla sua professionalità Edoardo ha una passione contagiosa per il mare e la vela condividendo con l'equipaggio timone, manovre, spiegazioni su come si veleggia, le Isole Capraia/Elba arricchendo cosi l'esperienza complessiva. La sua cortesia e attenzione alle esigenze di ciascun membro dell'equipaggio hanno reso la vacanza speciale! Cercherò altre occasioni per navigare nuovamente con lui e lo raccomanderei senza esitazioni a chi cerchi un'esperienza davvero super!
