This experience, in a nutshell

Our wooden schooner, with auric rigging, built entirely by hand according to the ancient dictates of the shipwrights of North America, awaits you with its crew to make you experience unforgettable moments of sharing, adventure and fun.


Built for an environmental project that aims to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the sea, the schooner is used for a variety of sailing, seafaring, sustainability and awareness-raising activities to preserve the marine ecosystem. These initiatives make this boat a place of special encounters and discoveries.


Since 2020, our schooner has been an ambassador for the WWF cetacean research project: The Sails of the Panda.


Below is an idea for you to imagine the possibilities in a holiday with us. However, we are open to alternative proposals to customize the itinerary according to your wishes.

Do not hesitate to contact us to ask for information, reservations or to propose a personalized itinerary.


The typical holiday will be dedicated to offshore sailing and seafaring arts: hoisting the sails by hand, steering, learning the knots, spotting cetaceans, following a route.


The galley is made by the captain before embarkation to optimize time. During the holiday you will take turns preparing meals and tidying up. For those who wish, you can book a cook service at a cost of €100/day.

Our itinerary

We embark in Punta Ala on Friday afternoon and, after settling in the cabins and having done the briefing, if the weather permits, we will set sail for the Island of Elba, towards Porto Azzurro. We will spend the night here at anchor and, those who wish, can go ashore to visit this delightful village and take a walk.


In the following days we will try our hand at beautiful sails downwind of the island and we will explore the many coves that Elba offers us. So sailing, swimming, snorkeling and, for those who want it, a smattering of the principles of sailing, seafaring knots, steering, etc.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

The captain and crew made this weekend unforgettable with their professionalism, kindness, cheerfulness and humanity. It will remain an indelible memory in my memory and that of my son. Every expectation has gone. The Captain established an empathic relationship with us and guided us in a unique experience. The crew pampered and involved us. Absolutely recommended.
