This experience, in a nutshell

For those who are tired of sailing as hipsters on floating campers and want an experience based on responsible and conscious nautical tourism but still fun!

Welcome aboard my 9-meter boat from 1974. My name is Luca and I am your skipper, The goal of my sailing proposals is to take you with me on a journey to discover life in harmony with the sea as I have been lucky enough to live it since childhood with my family.

The boat is not huge but has all the necessary spaces for a comfortable cruise for 4 people. Nothing is missing in the kitchen to prepare excellent meals, the bathroom develops throughout the beam with generous volumes and double berths to sleep in comfort with a memory-foam top.

The strong point is the outdoor spaces, being a boat designed for offshore navigation for 6 people who work in the cockpit. The outdoor spaces between cockpit and deck up to the bow are really generous with a sundeck with cushions at risk of getting used to how comfortable it is ;) and the possibility of setting up a hammock during the stops to make the afternoon nap more pleasant.

A cruise suitable for those like me who love a dynamic and sporty life from which to draw energy and feel in harmony with nature, friends, following the wind, the sun and even the rain in some cases. A way to really appreciate the simplest things in life, the sense of participation in on-board activities where even washing dishes with sea water to save precious fresh water, becomes a unique experience with your feet in the water and the excuse to take yet another dip in the blue of the Elba sea. The determination to reach the destination under sail even with little wind, the pleasure of enjoying the time available, what is always missing when you are on land and which is never of the same quality and intensity. What do you think?

Are you among those who the sailboat believed was only for hipsters always with an aperitif in hand and hunting for the most popular destinations where to go shopping and party? I really hope not, because you would miss the truly unique, spontaneous and sincere aspect that only the sailboat and its life on board is able to offer you.

Without giving up the aperitif ;)

For the next holiday so think about it, I'm sure you will be fascinated. I look forward to welcoming you on board.

Fair winds, Luca

Our itinerary

The idea in general is to get carried away by climatic events and adapt according to what the sky decides, day by day to always find the best compromise between a good breeze for sailing and quiet corners where you can spend many hours at sea and quiet evenings under a blanket of stars.

The island of Elba always allows you to find adequate shelter given its geographical conformation and it is not said that there is no time to make a stop on the nearby island of Capraia.

The program generally includes a day of sailing with lunch at anchor and taking advantage of the bay for swimming and snorkeling to discover the underwater wonders and end up anchoring in some beautiful cove for the night.

There will also be stops in the main ports such as Marciana Marina, Marina di Campo or Portazzurro.

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.

Luca is a captain and an extraordinary person, not only did he welcome us on board the [hidden], but he shared with us his land, his history and his places of the heart. Super recommended experience! Maria Rosa 🌊 is also legendary

Thanks to the seafaring experience and the adorable affability of the skipper Luca, we guests (3 strangers) felt at home from day one! It was a real pleasure to experience the sea as much as possible, spending almost always the night in the peaceful roadsteads of Elba. During the trip, Luca showed us the landscapes, history and peculiarities of his beautiful island. Thanks to a bit of favorable wind, we happily sailed during some trips. The best skipper and trump buddy ever! Thank you Luca and Buon Vento 🌬

Although it was the first time on a sailing boat, it was like coming home, to a person I had known forever. I rediscovered the essence of life: the joy of being together, the sharing of the table, the depth of encounters and the connection with nature. I enjoyed infinity sleeping lulled by the waves under a roof of sky and doing the figurehead at the bow. Luca is an extraordinary man as well as an excellent skipper in love with his land. He is a storyteller He is humble, generous and welcoming He smiled and laughed in the sun He has a heart as big as the world Sailing is his dress and his home If you want to immerse yourself in a holiday that is also a mystical journey, do not hesitate to set sail on the [hidden].

5-Star Skipper !! Luca was born at sea, and for generations they have breathed sailing and sea! An exquisite and exceptional person, he accompanied us for a week to discover the most beautiful places on the Island of Elba, his land that he knows perfectly. We also had the opportunity to go around with his boat "[hidden]", which also passed on to me the history of his family, it is a very familiar and serene environment. I highly recommend trying the sailing experience on Elba with Luca.
