This experience, in a nutshell

We are Marco (skipper) and Carmen (assistant skipper) and we would like to propose 3 days of approach to sailing, dedicated to everyone: beginners, enthusiasts or potentates.


We offer midweek embarkations departing from Piombino, heading for the island of Elba and possibly Capraia. The purpose of these outings is to bring beginners and beginners closer to sailing and to give them experience of navigation gaits, winds, weather forecasts, mooring, anchorages, port entrances and everything related to sailing.


This is not just an educational experience, because the spirit with which we will carry out these outings is calm and serene on board. We will also try to touch the largest number of places that we know well and find beautiful especially in a period away from mass tourism, such as Porto Azzurro, Marciana Marina and the island of Capraia if the weather permits.


We are waiting for you on board to live an experience that at this time of year has a completely different flavor!

Our itinerary

The idea is to cast off the mooring and from the MAT head towards the island of Elba, depending on the wind and weather we will sail towards Marciana or Porto Azzurro if there are conditions also Capraia. Carmen and I would like to convey the passion for the sea that even in winter has its charm, all the ports are accessible, the coves all free, of course it will take courage to take a bath but know that even in winter sailing and reach certain fabulous places and see them in their actual splendor without mass tourism really has a different flavor.


We would also like to bring sailing and those who are obtaining a boat license closer to giving them the opportunity to gain experience on tacking and strange gaits, anchorages, moorings and much more in complete serenity and tranquility, offering for this experience a light, fast and very easy to maneuver boat suitable even for a child, equipped with hot water and heating.




The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

An Unforgettable Weekend on the Island of Elba: Sun, Sea and Great Company! I just spent a weekend on a boat on the Island of Elba with Captain Marco and Carmen, and I couldn't be more excited! It was a simply perfect experience in every way, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an escape from the routine full of relaxation and fun. First of all, the weather was impeccable: bright sunshine and a calm and crystalline sea accompanied us for all three days, allowing us to fully enjoy every swim and every hidden cove. The conditions were ideal for sailing, making every move a real pleasure, we also had a beautiful sail on the way back to the port of Piombino. But what made this weekend really special were the people on board. An atmosphere of joy, chatting and moments of pure leisure was immediately created. And I cannot fail to mention our captain Marco, a true professional! Not only was he extremely competent and safe in driving the boat, but also nice and easy-going, of course the same goes for Carmen, who immediately put us at ease as soon as we arrived. Marco's knowledge of the place allowed us to discover enchanting and less traveled corners, and his availability made every request an opportunity to learn something new or simply to appreciate the trip even more. In summary, this weekend on the Island of Elba was a perfect mix of breathtaking nature, total relaxation and great company. Advised!!

On the [hidden], Laughter and Fun are guaranteed! Carmen and Marco welcomed us on their boat as if we were family. Marco, the skipper, proved to be an excellent sea hound capable of making you experience splendid emotions in total safety! We circumnavigated the Island of Elba starting from Piombino, stopping in the most evocative and characteristic points and sleeping in the sea when possible. Cleanliness and Availability at the highest levels. The [hidden] is a really nice boat. In thanking Marco and Carmen for the beautiful weekend spent, I definitely recommend this experience to all those who want to discover the wonders of Elba with the wind in their sails!

Unacceptable hygienic and sanitary conditions, Lack of professionalism also influenced by the presence of a friend who is probably not paying (i.e.: vulgarity, unwillingness to go ashore when requested, pressure not to use fresh water to brush teeth or take a shower or make a transit in port to recharge) The activity is not seen as a profession and it shows, The main concern is the purchase of alcohol.
