This experience, in a nutshell

Also this year our association is pleased to invite you on board for a special weekend that will include participation in the 7th Edition of the "Veleggiata dei muscoli" in Fezzano di Portovenere (SP), the event that kicks off the summer season in the Gulf.


It is a nice initiative in which many sailboats participate every year. It is not a regatta, but a friendly, non-competitive sailing in which we will participate for fun, guests on board are not required any particular experience or skills, only the desire to have fun together.


At the end of the sailing, the award ceremony is held (with prizes drawn at random because there is no ranking). Followed by the free musculate: the fish farmers of Fezzano offer mussels marinara to all participants. In the village there is also a party with a live concert under the pine forest with lots of music and dancing. It is a pleasant opportunity to party, be together and compare yourself with other crews.


By registering for this event, you can enjoy a beautiful weekend full of fun, trying to compete with the other boats on Saturday and enjoy well-deserved relaxation on board throughout Sunday.


Living on board is not just sailing, with us life on board is relaxed and fun, you make new friends and together you collaborate in the management of the boat.


We are an amateur sports association, our aim is to make you discover the art of sailing, learn to sail while having fun, always respecting our sea.

The activities of our association are guided by the ethical values that are the basis of our daily actions: we sail according to the principles of respect for the environment and responsibility towards nature, our main fuel is the wind and our energy is solar.

To embark with us it will be necessary to become a member of the association and present a medical certificate for non-competitive sporting activity.


On board we will separate waste collection and we will not use disposable tableware.

Too bad for the lack of wind... We had to go motor. Overall they were two beautiful days. Sandro is kind and helpful, with interesting conversations. Thank you

The itinerary is interesting and fascinating, the boat is not exactly 100% efficient due to some important deficiencies that penalized the week. Capable and competent skipper but not very empathetic. Excellent company, nice and cheerful. Overall sufficient judgment.

L'Île de Beauté: sailing in Corsica with night return

We have just concluded a wonderful week-long cruise with Captain Sandro, an experience that we will always carry in our hearts. Thanks to his expert guide we reached northern Corsica, visiting Capraia, Macinaggio and the charming village of Centuri: unforgettable baths, aperitifs and a sunset dinner of rare beauty, before returning to the Island of Elba due to the worsening weather conditions. What makes sailing with Sandro unique is not only the knowledge of the most authentic places, but above all his extraordinary experience. Always attentive to the weather forecast, he was able to make wise and safe decisions. Sandro in adverse weather conditions showed a cool head and competence by bringing us to safety at the port, avoiding risks for both us and the boat. With him, the sea is experienced in its beauty, but always in total safety. A true commander, in the truest sense of the word. Highly recommended for those who want an unforgettable cruise, between wonderful places and the certainty of being in expert hands.
