This experience, in a nutshell

Can't take days off? The pure weekend is the one for you!

This is a weekend with boarding on Friday afternoon and return for Sunday in the evening


A weekend on a sailing boat to discover the Island of Elba is an unforgettable experience, perfect even for those who are at their first sailing.

After a short crossing, we'll immerse ourselves in a paradise of crystal clear waters and charming villages. We will visit Porto Azzurro, with its characteristic marina in the heart of the town, among alleys full of life, boutiques and delicious restaurants. In Portoferraio, on the other hand, the majestic Rocca and aperitifs await us along the suggestive Medici dock. The navigations will take us to discover breathtaking bays such as Cala Reale and Cala Barbarossa, until we reach the transparent waters of Viticcio and La Paolina.


A journey through nature, history and relaxation, made unique by the freedom that only a sailboat can offer.


The boat is equipped with hot water and also TV but you won't need it, I assure you!


We look forward to seeing you on board!!!

Long weekend on Elba: 4 days of sun and sailing

Four wonderful days, in which the wind and the sea were the setting for an experience that went far beyond the simple holiday. Paolo has been able to create a nice group, while respecting everyone's spaces and times. Always available, attentive to our needs and, above all... always proactive on aperitifs!! We were not looking for a sailing course, but a few days of sea, nature and freedom, and perhaps this is what I take home: the feeling that we too often live in a fast and constructed way, forgetting that sometimes the wind in our faces is enough, to raise our eyes to the sun or the moon and find some peace. Even if... you still haven't found what you are looking for. <3

Experience of 10 and praise (and no shipwreck)! We were unabashedly lucky with the crew: a group of delightful people and with a decidedly enviable party alcohol content. In this regard, a fundamental note for future sailors: on [hidden] aperitifs are not "good", they become a fundamental part of the program starting at 4 pm. Commander Paolo is the perfect combination of an assault sailor and a martyr saint: very prepared, of a rare sympathy and endowed with infinite patience. It answers any question: from curiosities about the water tank to the most absurd existential doubts (experiment tested personally, and I survived to tell it). The only vital warning for survival on board: never offer salad to Paolo. If you try to put him on a diet or wave foliage in front of him, the real risk is to be abandoned exactly 2.99 miles from Montecristo on a direct route, just in time to be arrested by the Coast Guard for violating the nature reserve. Man forewarned, half saved. We will definitely be back: Paolo permitting!

Four wonderful days in which the wind and the sea were the splendid setting for a surprising human experience. Getting on board with strangers requires special chemistry. If this alchemy was created so naturally, the credit also goes to those who were able to guide not only his [hidden] through the waves, but also the human dynamics on board, far from being a simple "technician" of the sea. Don't be fooled by his being a bit "bear" initially, Paolo is an experience within the experience, an added value! More than a captain, he was the soul of our trip, adapting perfectly to the crew. He understood exactly what made us feel good and always looked for the best conditions to allow us to enjoy it to the fullest, transmitting a pure love for sailing even when the sea or the weather required us to adapt. He was a brilliant and reassuring guide when the group was looking for aggregation, capable of enriching the atmosphere with his unique personality and intuitions, but he also knew how to withdraw naturally when he perceived our need for tranquility and to live our spaces. Although it was his last weekend of sailing before a well-deserved break, he never spared his enthusiasm, working behind the scenes to ensure we had an impeccable experience from every point of view.

Midweek on Elba, from Monday to Thursday

A wonderful, intense and truly unforgettable experience. Three days lived on board, 24 hours a day, sharing spaces, laughter, stories, silences and pieces of life with people I didn't know until then. And perhaps this is the most beautiful gift of this experience: having started as strangers and having shared something that, in such a short time, has managed to leave a mark. A special thought goes to the captain. One of those people you don't meet every day. A man who has lived, who knows how to read people, listen to them and understand much more than what they say. Apparently a bit "bear", but with a huge heart. A person who, without wanting to, has left me something and that I will take with me. The sailboat was the perfect setting to slow down, breathe, look at the sea and really live in the moment. I go home with beautiful memories, new acquaintances and the feeling that certain encounters come into our lives for a reason. Thank you for these three days. Difficult to describe in words, impossible to forget. ❤️⛵️
