This experience, in a nutshell

We will set sail from the port of Marina Cala de Medici, located between Castiglioncello and Rosignano Solvay, in Tuscany, ready to start an unforgettable sailing holiday among the islands of the Archipelago.

The island of Elba, which is only a few hours away by boat, is truly splendid with crystal clear waters and numerous beautiful bays and beaches ; The small ports that distinguish the island itself are also characteristic. A peculiarity of the island of Elba is that it offers, both on the north coast and on the south coast, several shelters, which allow navigation in greater tranquility.

Capraia is another island that is also a few miles from Corsica, and which we can reach in a few hours of navigation. The island is suggestive and wild, volcanic in character, also famous because around it there are frequent sightings of marine mammals, such as dolphins, fin whales and sperm whales.

The sailing experience is very fascinating, a direct contact with nature that will awaken all your senses: sail with only the sound of the lapping of the sea, fascinating baths and anchorages in the bays, starry nights and aperitifs at sunset are included in the price!

Those who wish can participate in the maneuvers and the skipper will give you some sailing school.

The boat is equipped with a tender with its engine that we will use to land on the beaches or in the ports if the boat is moored at anchor.

Overall rating 5 stars, only because you can't put more :). More than a holiday, it was a fantastic experience, which we will never forget. Extraordinary skipper who in addition to getting in complete harmony with me and my wife, has created a wonderful relationship with our children. Tour created together, visiting magnificent places on a beautiful boat with all the necessary comforts. A week on a sailing boat is certainly a strong experience, but if done together with people like this it becomes an exceptional life experience, Thank you again for everything and see you soon!

Excellent experience, the skipper Marco made himself available to define the program together day by day based on the weather and involved us in the navigation activities, excellent management of a problem that occurred during the holiday. We were able to sleep in the roadstead, go sailing, visit Portovenere and swim in various locations. The boat and the three cabins it is equipped with are good.

It is an experience that I recommend to everyone, even if it is not for everyone. Because it is not suitable for those who do not know how to adapt, for those who do not know how to slow down and respect the rhythms of nature, for those who want privacy. But if you are willing to try, aware of what has been said above, you will not regret it. It was my first experience and, unfortunately, it ended early for me due to seasickness (which unfortunately was unexpected). Yet, despite this unhappy epilogue, I loved every second. I admit that I was skeptical at first, as there were few indications on how to organize themselves. But you understand it after how much an integral part of the experience is to be carried away not only by the wind but also and above all by events. Because when you're on the boat, nothing is predictable. And our skipper Marco, in his own way, made us understand this well. I loved everything: the company of 5 strangers (including Marco) who turned out to be a great fortune, the small spaces to share and the wonderful views that surrounded us. I loved seasickness less but, alas, it is also part of nature. Marco reassured me and advised me to stay as well as possible, until he accompanied me back to the ground. Highly recommend, to try at least once in a lifetime! If you are lucky, even more.
