This experience, in a nutshell

Get on board and enjoy this magnificent weekend in the most enchanting places on the Island of Elba, the largest and most popular of the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.


This weekend on a boat will take you on a journey of discovery, you will also be an active part of the crew, you will be able to practice at the helm and learn how to maneuver the sails, or if you are already practical, the instructor will guide you in perfecting your skills.


Living on board is not just sailing, we will make nice regenerating stops in beautiful bays and swim in the blue sea, with us life on board is relaxed and fun, you make new friends and together you collaborate in the management of the boat.


Our sailing style does not include standard trips, what we will do will be decided together on board based on the wind conditions and the wishes of the group, we can make long sails if the wind is favorable and the group wants to learn more, or choose to stop in the bay and visit the surroundings.


We are an amateur sports association, our aim is to make you discover the art of sailing, learn to sail while having fun, always respecting our sea.

The activities of our association are guided by the ethical values that are the basis of our daily actions: we sail according to the principles of responsible tourism, our main fuel is the wind and our energy is solar. To embark with us it will be necessary to become a member of the association and present a medical certificate for non-competitive sporting activity.


On board we will separate waste collection and we will not use disposable tableware.


We look forward to seeing you on board!

Nice experience, too bad the little wind for navigation but the important thing is to have been well in excellent company. Thank you Sandro for always indulging us and making us safe! Fair winds!

Genuine experience! The boat, in general, is not comfortable ... sharing confined spaces even with unknown people is a challenging test. Sandro's hospitality and the luck of having met an excellent travel companion like Simone, made the first experience on board my family a very pleasant adventure that fascinated us and involved us strongly Sandro is a rough sea dog with a heart of gold, extremely in love with the sea and his boat that he takes care of from every point of view: order, cleanliness and small details not to be underestimated... there is also a basil plant for cooking use It was very pleasant to listen to him in giving us the basic rudiments of sailing and in his stories of life lived between myth and reality The wind gave us a great gift and allowed us to travel practically always under sail; the landscape and the sea of Elba..... The icing on the cake We came back very satisfied and enriched by this experience that we will certainly repeat Nicoletta & family

Thank you very much to Sandro ! Very kind person with big heart and with good sense of humor ! I'm really amused. Boat sail was nice, tidy and clean ! There are rules in the edge that makes so much sense to me and right. Sandro always asked us if we want to go or stop and etc. Pecatto we could not sail with sail, but unfortunately mother nature decided not to give wind, but everywhere everything was perfect and I am glad that climbed in the edge of Sandro! Thank you and good wind!
