This experience, in a nutshell

Starting from the Tuscan Archipelago Marina in Piombino, easily accessible by car with the possibility of free parking, we will set sail to discover Capraia and Elba.

During the navigation we will have the opportunity to spot dolphins and engage in some deep-sea fishing, enjoying the open sea. We will visit unspoiled coves such as Cala del Ceppo and Cala Rossa, immersing ourselves in transparent waters surrounded by wild landscapes, and we will land in characteristic ports where we can admire the colorful houses on the water and enjoy excellent aperitifs.

Among the coves and bays of Elba such as Cala Viticcio, the Gulf of Procchio and the Paolina, we will experience days of relaxation and exploration, concluding the sail on the beach of Sansone before returning to Piombino.

An unforgettable experience between sea, nature and unique views that will remain in the heart.

Sailing course... but also a holiday. Navigation to Giglio and back via Elba with departure at night. Despite the little wind that blew in those days, Paolo was able to convey notions and make the students practice, all with the utmost sympathy ... Be prepared to be made fun of, especially if you're an engineer.

Unforgettable and fun experience, very prepared skipper who tamed a sea that was not exactly docile. The fishing competition is beautiful and suggestive.
