This experience, in a nutshell

Three days and three nights of seasport 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 you can already organize a more complete itinerary and, if the weather allows it, even 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 marina of San Vincenzo, the port is just a few miles from the Island of Elba, it is easy to reach by car and train (the station is only 200 meters from the port) and therefore an 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.

Bellissima esperienza, bellissimo equipaggio, ma soprattutto ottimo Skipper!!! Marco mette a suo agio le persone, sempre disponibile e molto preparato. Mi ha permesso di affrontare serenamente la mia prima esperienza in barca a vela. Visitando nuovi posti grazie anche alla perfetta combinazione barca a vela + trekking (e ben organizzata, un ringraziamento anche Francesco "Checco" la nostra guida!) Grazie a tutto il meraviglioso gruppo che mi ha accompagnato in questa nuova avventura!!!

Ottima vacanza, che ci ha permesso di godere sia del piacere di navigare in uno splendido mare, sia di fare delle piacevoli camminate tra i boschi della costa dell'isola, baciati da un caldo sole di inizio Ottobre. Marco (skypper) e Checco (guida trekking) sono 2 persone eccellenti sia per le loro caratteristiche umane, sia per la loro professionalità. Marco è una persona sempre attenta alle necessità e richieste della "ciurma", ci ha assistito e guidato in questa breve (purtroppo) vacanza facendoci scoprire angoli meravigliosi di una natura ancora sorprendente e, non ultimo, i piaceri del palato in ristorantini che non avremmo mai scoperto da soli, ma anche, in barca, dove ci ha cucinato una gustosissima pasta col pesce che aveva pescato lui stesso. Infine un ringraziamento ai compagni di viaggio che hanno reso questa gita quello che speravo: relax, divertimento ed un'ottima esperienza umana. Un saluto a tutti, speriamo di rivederci alla prossima. Buon Vento a tutti.

Ho trascorso un bellissimo weekend in barca a vela con uno skipper davvero eccezionale, la sua competenza e la sua esperienza si sono dimostrate fondamentali per rendere l’esperienza sicura e divertente. Lo skipper ha reso il viaggio ancora più speciale con le sue storie e la sua passione per la vela. Per gli amanti del trekking l’isola d’Elba è il posto perfetto con i suoi sentieri che attraversano boschi e scogliere affacciate sul mare,. È stato davvero un weekend rilassante e avventuroso, grazie Marco
