This experience, in a nutshell

Also this year our association is pleased to invite you on board for a special weekend that will include participation in the 3rd Edition of the "Veleggiata dei Muscle" in Fezzano di Porto Venere (SP).

The sailing is not a regatta , but a non-competitive event in which we will participate for fun, the guests on board are not required to have any particular experience or skills, just the desire to have fun together.

You will be able to enjoy a beautiful weekend full of fun, trying to compete with the other boats on Saturday and enjoy the well-deserved relaxation on board for the whole Sunday.

And if you want to overdo it, you can embark on Wednesday 2 June and also enjoy the bridge of the Republic Day sailing in a splendid setting between the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Poets (paying a separate fee)

Friday 4th June evening
Boarding and moment of acquaintance with the crew; short briefing by the skipper on life on board and safety regulations. Dinner on board.

Saturday 5th June
The program of Saturday's sailing is still being defined, due to the Covid situation there may be restrictions and limitations.
Hopefully, our day will unfold like this:

Sailing briefing and instructions
Meeting of the participating boats in the water space in front of the Borgo del Fezzano
Sailed departure
Award ceremony: The prizes, numerous and offered by the Sponsors, will not be assigned according to the finish ranking but by drawing lots among all the participating boats and with crews present
Final muscular at the refreshment area organized by the Borgata del Fezzano and pro Loco

The editions of the previous years were a success that saw the participation of a large number of boats and this year it is expected to reach a hundred crews, to have a nice party in the waters of the Gulf.

Sunday 6th June:
Day of sailing and relaxation in the magnificent Gulf of Poets, with lunch on board.
Sailing we will admire Portovenere from the sea, with the ancient church of San Lorenzo, the Doria castle and the Grotta di Byron.
We will circumnavigate the island of Palmaria, with its beautiful coves, where we can stop for a nice swim, then we will stop in the bay of Lerici, which with its beautiful castle, will be the setting for another regenerating stop and for our lunch and afternoon we will return for disembarkation.

Life on board is relaxed and fun, you make new friends and work together in the management of common life.
Those who want can enjoy the sun and those who want to learn, will find in our skipper a valid teacher who will gladly give the helm to those who want to try their hand at managing, supporting him with valuable advice.

On board, everyone can freely choose whether to relax and enjoy the holiday in complete relaxation, or whether to try to get involved by experimenting with the maneuvers or taking the helm (under the supervision of the skipper).

Everyone is only asked to participate in life on board, as each one wants and can do, in an atmosphere of fun and mutual collaboration.
A crate will be created on board to support the costs of food, ports and fuel.

The activities of our association have always been guided by the ethical values that are the basis of our daily actions: we sail according to the principles of responsible tourism, with respect for the environment to guide us. Our main fuel is wind and our energy is solar. We will do the separate collection of waste and we will not use disposable plastic tableware.


CODIV-19 EMERGENCY: to ensure maximum safety conditions on board, this year the cabins will not be shared between non-cohabiting people or couples.
In addition, our boat will be completely sanitized with ozone before each embarkation and on board you will find the hand disinfectant gel and every product useful for daily sanitation.

Too bad for the lack of wind... We had to go motor. Overall they were two beautiful days. Sandro is kind and helpful, with interesting conversations. Thank you

Between Elba and Capraia with the wind in our sails!

The itinerary is interesting and fascinating, the boat is not exactly 100% efficient due to some important deficiencies that penalized the week. Capable and competent skipper but not very empathetic. Excellent company, nice and cheerful. Overall sufficient judgment.

L'Île de Beauté: sailing in Corsica with night return

08/24/2025

We have just concluded a wonderful week-long cruise with Captain Sandro, an experience that we will always carry in our hearts. Thanks to his expert guide we reached northern Corsica, visiting Capraia, Macinaggio and the charming village of Centuri: unforgettable baths, aperitifs and a sunset dinner of rare beauty, before returning to the Island of Elba due to the worsening weather conditions. What makes sailing with Sandro unique is not only the knowledge of the most authentic places, but above all his extraordinary experience. Always attentive to the weather forecast, he was able to make wise and safe decisions. Sandro in adverse weather conditions showed a cool head and competence by bringing us to safety at the port, avoiding risks for both us and the boat. With him, the sea is experienced in its beauty, but always in total safety. A true commander, in the truest sense of the word. Highly recommended for those who want an unforgettable cruise, between wonderful places and the certainty of being in expert hands.
