This experience, in a nutshell

The Squid Festival has become a must at the end of the season for all sailors in the area: dozens of boats and hundreds of people with us will animate the shores of Capraia Porto. A complete immersion between sea and authentic flavors.

Sailing towards Capraia, we will enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the island, between crystal clear waters and breathtaking landscapes.

During the day, we'll be able to explore the island, join the party, enjoy the delicious squid dishes and savor the festive atmosphere of the village.

In the evening, the return by boat offers unforgettable sunsets and moments of relaxation under the stars, creating a perfect balance between adventure and culinary pleasure.

With a bit of luck we will be able to take the last swim of the year and visit the beautiful coves of Capraia.

On board there is never a shortage of sailing, fun, chats and good wine: in short, it is an incredible weekend.

Plus of the boat: it is equipped with an awning that completely closes the heated cockpit.

Squid Festival: let's close the season on a high note! - on board a 17mt boat

I participated in the weekend on a sailing boat organized for the Squid Festival and I couldn't ask for anything better! It was a wonderful experience, between sea, wind and excellent company. The crew was great: nice people and with a great desire to have fun. The skipper is super professional, but also helpful and attentive to let us experience sailing in a relaxed and fun way. I can't wait to get back on board for the next adventure! ⚓️🐙✨ Giulia, Eva and Martina

Matteo is a professional skipper and above all a pleasant person, who steers the boat and situations with lightness and experience. Luke [hidden] a well-maintained and decidedly comfortable and spacious boat. Nice opportunity and fantastic company / crew, not to be forgotten and to be seen again with pleasure in a next navigation, between sea aperitifs and laughter.

Perfect weekend! On the boat with us was the skipper Sergio, who made the weekend more than enjoyable. Always available to answer our questions and curiosities, able to choose the ideal route to be able to also afford sailing. The group then did the rest. All ready to lend a hand and get involved. It was the first time on a sailing boat and the weekend went far beyond expectations

Good morning, the weather according to the skipper did not allow me to get to Corsica, so I saw places that I already knew, The skipper presented himself very well initially and then disappointed more and more every day. Fortunately I made friends with some of the guests and this lightened the situation.
