This experience, in a nutshell

A weekend dedicated to the sea, conviviality and local traditions: we will embark on Friday evening, with time to get to know each other, discover the boat and share a first aperitif together.


On Saturday morning we will sail to Capraia, where the famous Squid Festival awaits us, an event that every year animates the island with food stands, music and a unique festive atmosphere.


Born in the 80s, this festival celebrates squid fishing, the protagonist of Capraia's cuisine, and even sees a nice competition between professional and amateur fishermen. Between a sail and a tasting, you will have the opportunity to live an authentic experience, which combines the charm of the sea with the discovery of the most heartfelt traditions of the island.

Fun and relaxation on a sailing boat to discover Elba and Capraia

First experience on a multi-day sailing boat. Basically, I would say that I have collected a different point of view of experiencing the sea, away from the crowds and the usual "schemes" of the typical "beach" holiday (without any judgment, of course). This was perhaps the main goal I had set myself and I would say that it was achieved in full. We visited wonderful places, dived into crystal clear waters, sailed in the deep blue, accompanied by breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable sunsets, moonlight and evenings watching the starry sky lulled by the wave. Fantastic dinners in the roadstead, both for the originality of the context and for the conviviality. Nice travel companions, open to group life with a positive spirit, collaborative and respectful of the places and others on board despite the tight spaces. Skipper Filippo put everyone at ease, managing the situations of the cruise with professionalism, communicating passion, fun, a sense of responsibility and perfect control of the situation. He was also a very nice travel companion, discreet and without excesses. Spacious, tidy and clean boat. From an even more personal point of view, I had a lot of fun with the strictly sailing aspects. I expected it to be a good experience, but, to be honest, I didn't imagine it could be so much. To try!!
