This experience, in a nutshell

I've been boating for 35 years after playing basketball for 20. I transferred that team spirit to sailing.

I like the atmosphere of sharing that is immediately created among the people who sail with me. I contribute by recommending if necessary the good Tuscan food and punctuating the day with excellent music !!

I love sailing as much as possible .. During longer sailings, if conditions permit, I like trolling to try to enrich the galley on board with good fish that I personally clean and cook once caught.



NB: The week described is purely indicative and can be changed according to the needs of the guests and above all to the present and expected weather conditions, it being understood that the last and unquestionable judgment is up to the Captain, responsible by law for the safety of the boat and crew and in any case with over thirty years of experience in this type of activity.

Leg 1

San Vincenzo - Capraia

Boarding in the morning, short briefing of welcome and organization then accommodation in the respective cabins. Subsequently, if it has not been done in advance, we all go together to do the galley in the supermarkets and shops of the town. On the way back to the boat we stow the supplies and then have lunch. In the very early afternoon we leave the port of San Vincenzo for Capraia where we will be able to take our first swim in the late afternoon. Night under the stars at anchor.

Leg 2

Capraia - Corsica

Departure early in the morning and sail to Corsica, often reached by sail in about 3 hours. We will find beaches and seabeds with sands of all colors where we can swim, snorkel or use canoes and paddles to explore the coast. The Tower of Santa Maria, Cala Genovese or the roadstead of the Finocchiarola Islands are the possible stops, to name the most famous in the surroundings of Macinaggio. Evening at anchor with the possibility of going ashore for an aperitif or dinner.

Leg 3

Corsica - Saint Florent

In the morning we set sail and skirting Cap Corse and the islet of Giraglia we sail along the west coast of the so-called finger, one of the wildest and most rugged places in Corsica. We pass in front of the fishing village of Centuri and descending further south we arrive in the late morning at the Caribbean beaches of Loto and Saleccia with their white sand and turquoise waters. At sunset we are at anchor in front of the town of Saint Florent with a visit or dinner on land in a typical local restaurant.

Leg 4

Corsica - Centuri / Grinding

In the morning we move for a swim and lunch under the Genoese Tower of Mortella, at the beginning of the Gulf of Saint Florent. In the afternoon, we sail back north to a sheltered roadstead, Centuri or Macinaggio depending on the weather situation, to spend the night there.

Leg 5

Goatherd

Early in the morning we set off for a sail to Capraia. Swimming and lunch at Moreto under the Zenobito Tower or in the large bay of Ceppo.

In the late afternoon coastal navigation to the port passing by the magnificent cliffs. Which characterize the Cala Rossa, symbol of Capraia.  Obligatory shore excursion, for an aperitif in the enchanted village. Dinner at the port if we have booked in advance to fully enjoy the beauty of the village of Capraia Isola.

Leg 6

Capraia - Elba

In the morning we can take a walk with shopping in search of the typical products of the island, essences and aromas directly from the Mediterranean scrub, gastronomy and oenology products or small characteristic handicrafts. Then a last swim in the crystal clear waters of the island and then bow towards Elba which we will reach after just over 3 hours spent relaxing, perhaps dedicating ourselves to trolling in one of the most fishy areas of the Ligurian Sea. Dinner and night at anchor between Marciana and Portoferraio.

Leg 7

Elba - San Vincenzo

Awakening swim in the sea, breakfast at sea and return to Marina di San Vincenzo with luggage preparation. Final greetings and disembarkation by 4 p.m.

Se l'occasione di un viaggio in barca a vela è quella di ritrovarsi, ondeggiando fra solitudine e socialità, questo viaggio sulla barca di Andrea è stato introspettivo, riflessivo e veramente particolare: imparare a guardarsi, guardando gli altri. Grazie Andrea di essere un ottimo marinaio e una persona non comune, né banale. Grazie ai miei improbabili e ottimi compagni di viaggio. Grazie ai meravigliosi luoghi che abbiamo incontrato.
