This experience, in a nutshell

Experience a weekend on a sailing boat among the wonders of the island of Capraia, one of the pearls of the Tuscan Archipelago, characterized by breathtaking landscapes and unspoiled nature.


This trip takes place during the famous Squid Festival, an event that celebrates the tradition of squid fishing, a mollusk typical of local waters. During the festival, visitors can enjoy squid prepared in a variety of ways, from simple to gourmet dishes, such as frying, grilling, and even in salads, accompanied by local wines.


Capraia, with its fascinating history, is a place where time seems to have stopped. Originally an ancient penal colony, today the island is a paradise for hikers and sea lovers, offering scenic trails that wind through rocks, Mediterranean scrub and cliffs overlooking the sea. During the weekend, you can also discover local traditions, such as folk music and dancing, which make each festival a unique moment of conviviality.
