This experience, in a nutshell

Also this year, in conjunction with the most awaited event for lovers of sailing and culinary delicacies, we set sail for the squid festival in Capraia.

Being a long weekend, from Friday evening to Wednesday evening, we will also stop on the island of Elba!

Weather permitting, for the more daring, we will take the last swim of the season!

The squid festival in Capraia, since 2002 is an unmissable event that closes the summer tourist season: here the summer ends with this festival!

It consists of two main events: The Fishing Competition and the Festival itself.


We will sail aboard a sailboat, model Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 year 2021 of 14.60 meters, equipped with 5 cabins and 3 bathrooms.

Just returned. It was a beautiful holiday, indescribable places, definitely to be redone. Leonardo the skipper very attentive to safety and really experienced, handled a problem perfectly. As for the boat, it needs maintenance. However, I recommend it to everyone. Terry.

A nice holiday, a very good skipper, a fairly homogeneous group, a boat that needs maintenance.

First time on a sailboat, fantastic experience, our skipper Leonardo made us discover enchanting places, demonstrating competence, seriousness and availability in all circumstances, so we had nothing left but to enjoy the holiday in safety and freedom; a cohesive group and more and more close-knit day by day. Experience to be repeated!
