This experience, in a nutshell

Sailing courses and seafaring practice in a stretch of Tuscan sea of enchanting beauty.

WHO IT IS AIMED AT
Our Summer Sailing Camp (SSC) is aimed at children and teenagers aged 8 to 15.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The general goal of SSCs is to transfer the passion for the sea and sailing while having fun in company and acquiring important lessons such as collaboration, respect for others, enthusiasm for diversity, adaptability, team building and leadership.
For the older ones, there is an additional goal: to make young sailors able to experience the sea with a small sailboat, sail and return to land independently.

During the camps you learn the theory and practice of sailing, from sail terms to knots, to the rigging of boats up to maneuvers. These are short theoretical lessons on land and lots of activity on the boat.

WHO TEACHES THE COURSES
The SSCs are managed by qualified instructors and the teaching is based on the more than twenty years of experience that the instructors have gained at the best Italian and international sailing schools.

WHICH BOATS ARE USED
We use  J-Boats J/80, small sports cabin cruisers. They are particularly suitable for learning the basic technique. The furler and gennaker make them easy to carry and... A lot of fun!
 
WHAT IS THE TEACHING METHOD?
The days are punctuated by short theoretical lessons on land and a lot of boat activities in the beautiful waters between Salivoli, Baratti and the island of Elba.

Each group will be small, for a maximum of 18 students per week, assisted by 5 adults (3 sailing instructors and 2 people for shore support).

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Each course lasts one week, from Monday to Friday, with overnight stays.

WHERE TO STAY
Participants are accommodated in the guesthouses provided by the Yacht Club. These are apartments and dormitories recently renovated (2021) where there are beds for young students and common areas. In all the accommodations, contiguous to each other, an adult is always present, day and night, who checks the respect of the hours of silence and the maintenance of order and cleanliness by the young students. The apartments are equipped with a bathroom with shower and air conditioning.

HOW MUCH DOES AN SSC COST
The cost per participant is €635 all inclusive. The price is €585 all inclusive for those who participated in the course the previous year and for those who join more than one week in the same year (the discount is applied to the second week and the following ones).

WHY CHOOSE US
The abundance of destinations in the vicinity means that every day is never the same as the previous one: you never return to the same cove in the same week. The SSC takes place in the wonderful waters among which it sails: Salivoli, Baratti and Elba Island. The dedication and experience of the instructors will make this experience unforgettable.

Learn to sail in a week in the Tuscan Archipelago

I was really looking forward to the sailing week in advance and my expectations were fully met. We sailed around the island of Elba, spent the night in beautiful bays, jumped directly from the ship into the sea, snorkeled on rocks and cooked together on board in the evening. A special highlight was that we caught fresh fish and cooked it the same evening. We saw dolphins jumping out of the water. On the island of Elba we were able to discover the landscapes and eat fine fish. The sunrises and sunsets were fantastic, and also to feel the stormy wind on your skin as well as the high waves breaking on the rocks was an impressive experience. Equally unforgettable was the clear starry sky over the sea. The ship was very well equipped with running water, electricity and comfortable beds in which you were gently lulled to sleep by the rocking of the sea. I would like to highlight our skipper Marco. He knows the island of Elba very well, always knew the best places to stay, had a sure sense of weather and waves and always made the right decisions for the entire crew. We learned a lot from him, about sailing, about wind and weather, about nature, history, technology and also about ourselves and the people on board. All in all, it was a great experience. I am very happy, full of beautiful memories and would sail again at any time.

I have just finished a week of sailing course and it was a truly unique and enriching experience. I sincerely thank the sailing school for the opportunity and for the impeccable organization: I learned a lot, having fun and experiencing the sea in a new and authentic way. A special thanks also to our instructor Marco, for the professionalism, patience and passion with which he guided us, transmitting not only technical skills but also the love for sailing. An experience that I recommend to everyone and that I will take with me with great enthusiasm!

Great Stephen, regatta course in the pouring rain with sea formed and "barrel" from 30 knots of wind. I believe that only in this way can we really learn to navigate. All this always and in any case in safety and under his supervision. Thanks also to Germano who guided us for the regatta we did the next day (this time under the sun). Great staff
