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.

There are those holidays that remain in the heart, when thinking about it once you get home you don't want to change anything and you would like to relive everything exactly as it was: the evenings watching the shooting stars, the laughter with people you just met that you seem to know forever, the dives, the sunsets, the slowed down time, the baths, unspoiled nature and unexpected landscapes, completely disconnecting from the routine on land. Nothing has ever been trivial while always feeling safe thanks to our "Cap" Alessio.

It was an unforgettable holiday!! Matteo was very professional and a point of reference for all of us. With his explanations he made us passionate about sailing and, with his anecdotes, entertained. A holiday made memorable also thanks to the wonderful travel companions, with whom we created harmony from the first day and we laughed together until the end. Thank you!!

Matteo is an excellent skipper, always willing to teach us something about his infinite experience with sailing. He took us on a wonderful cruise between Tuscany and Corsica. He made us feel at home! The hanse is a beautiful and spacious boat and we had a great time. Super recommended experience!

Corsica and Tuscany 16-meter boat August 3-10, 2025 I left for this holiday alone, with a general idea of what to expect from a week on a sailing boat (being my third experience) but without really knowing what it would be like to share it with unknown people. Reading some reviews, I realized that many of the aspects that contribute to giving a negative rating do not depend on the organization or poor management of the experience, but are part of the very nature of a sailing holiday. For this reason, the first advice I would like to give is to inform yourself well about what such a holiday really entails: in this way you avoid disappointments that derive exclusively from false expectations, and certainly not from any limits or shortcomings of those who organize them. As for the organization and the skippers, Alessio and Giacomo, were undoubtedly our greatest strength and deserve the most important note of merit: thanks to them the holiday took place in the most relaxed way possible. Their competence and preparation have made navigation always safe and well managed; The knowledge of the places has simplified every logistical aspect, avoiding any doubts about what to do or where to go. All this helped to create a nice group right from the start, immediately making us travel companions and always maintaining a good mood, preserving us from any worries. Whenever the navigation allowed it, Alessio and Giacomo were with us with enthusiasm, always smiling and helpful: even in moments of inevitable fatigue they never lacked attention and participation, satisfying us in all our requests when possible. Special thanks also go to Matteo, always present and attentive to supervise our every need. As for the boat it was clean and well organized. We had everything we needed for all the activities including cooking together. Thanks also to a bit of luck that always brought the sun and the wind on the right side, I can say that I spent seven wonderful days.
