This experience, in a nutshell

We will walk through ancient paths overlooking the sea and unique viewpoints , and then dive into the clearest waters of the Island of Elba.

An experience designed for those who love nature, adventure and freedom, without giving up the pleasure of sharing and sunsets at anchor.

Accompanied by an environmental hiking guide, who will take us to discover the beauty of the area through 3 different routes: the Capo Fevola Ring, the Rosemary Path and the Madonna del Monte Sanctuary Ring.

We'll sail through the most beautiful bays on the island, and take a dip in its crystal clear waters.

Book your place and get ready to discover Elba from a unique perspective: between the blue of the sea and the green of its paths.

I was looking for a relaxing weekend with the backdrop of the sea and I really found what I was looking for. Captain Marco is an experienced skipper, he knows the sea and the Pontine Islands perfectly as if they were his home. Giada and Marco organized a really great experience. We were their guests on [hidden], a comfortable and very well maintained boat. We sailed pleasantly and let ourselves be guided to the places with the most transparent water for unforgettable swims and there was never a lack of good food, prepared with care.

I have been on boat holidays for as long as I can remember, first with my family and then with friends, and for the first time I tried to embark with "strangers"... It was one of the best weeks of my life!! Marco and Giada (Skipper) were fantastic and from the first moment they became part of the "group of friends" making us feel at home making it even easier to live together on board. The destination doesn't need many words... North Sardinia and Corsica are among the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean/Tyrrhenian Sea and perfect for cruising with a thousand shelters and chances to find safe and beautiful roadsteads! What can I say, WONDERFUL experience absolutely to be replicated! a hug to everyone, Margherita, Valentina (saint), Violeta, Chiara, Giada, Marco 1 and 2 !!! fair winds and see you soon Marcello

Really beautiful experience! Marco and Giada were two super professional skippers, very good and very technically prepared, but at the same time pleasant, helpful and able to immediately create a good atmosphere on board. The organization of the galley is also excellent, with lunches that are always delicious and well-kept. Overall it was a fun, relaxing and well-organized week, with the right balance between sailing, sea, conviviality and moments of relaxation. An experience that I would definitely do again and that I recommend!
