This experience, in a nutshell

April 25th, it's not yet time for swimming but you can already breathe the spring air. And the eagerness to go boating and experience nature is growing day by day. And we have created this unique experience to satisfy both cravings. Taking advantage of this long weekend, we will discover two of the pearls of the Tuscan Archipelago, the island of Elba and the island of Capraia, two popular destinations for trekking lovers from all over Europe. 



    To splendidsailing that will satisfy from the most experienced to the neophytes, to improve or learn their knowledge of sailing, we will combine three trekking outings, entrusting ourselves to the expert hands of one of our guides who will accompany us through itineraries with breathtaking landscapes. Elba, with its 147 km of coastline, is the third largest island in Italy. Thanks to its vast surface, it offers us a great wealth of marine and terrestrial fauna and flora. 


We move from the Mediterranean scrub in the south, to a richer vegetation on the north side of the island to get to the woods on the cliffs overlooking a crystal clear sea on the west side. 


An infinite number of routes, many suitable for everyone along the coasts that cross rolling hills, or some more challenging and reserved for the more experienced on the renowned Monte Capanne, of over and 1000 m..



Sailing we will then reach Capraia, to find a completely different scenario. A small unspoiled island, a small high village with less than 400 inhabitants and its characteristic marina, along which there are some restaurants and shops selling typical local products.


And going up the altitudes, choosing more or less demanding routes, we can admire beautiful landscapes with Corsica as a backdrop, surrounded by a sea of truly evocative colors.



We could talk for hours about these magical places, so all you have to do is join our crews and live a unique experience firsthand. We look forward to seeing you on board.

Leg 1

Day 1

After assigning the cabins and arranging the galley, we will leave the port, and with the bow to the west, we will sail at sunset and at night to reach the roadstead of Portoferraio. Once we reach our destination, we will give up again and go to bed to rest, ready to face our experience the following day to discover the north side of the island. Obviously, the itinerary may be subject to variations depending on sea and wind conditions.

Day 1

Leg 2

Day 2

In the morning, after a nice breakfast, we will disembark you with our tenders. Accompanied by the guide, you will cross the village of Portoferraio to reach the itinerary that will take you to the beautiful Gulf of Biodola. We will reach you there by boat and bring you back on board. In the large gulf that contains the three gulfs of Viticcio, Biodola and Procchio, we will sail taking advantage of the ever-present currents, which make sailing pleasant and fun. Then we will reach the characteristic village of Marciana Marina and, depending on the sea and wind conditions, we will decide whether to spend the night at anchor or in port. In the evening we will go ashore to visit the village, have an aperitif and those who want can eat in one of the local restaurants.

Day 2

Leg 3

Day 3

In the morning you will go ashore ready to face another beautiful trekking route along the north side that goes from Marciana Marina to the beach of Sant'Andrea, a magical place, with light sand and an emerald sea that will surely enchant you. Along this route there will be encounters with animals such as mouflon or fawns that populate numerous undergrowth that you will cross. Among the vegetation it is possible to admire truly breathtaking views of the sea. Once you reach the beach of Sant'Andrea, we will be waiting for you with our trusty boats. After relaxing a bit in a truly evocative location overlooking the beach of San Andrea, we will then return on board, raise anchor and set sail for the island of Capraia to face the second part of our adventure. About 4 hours of navigation await us that separate us from Capraia and, once we reach our destination, we will sleep in one of the pristine bays of the island.

Day 3

Day 4

In the morning we will leave the roadstead to reach the characteristic port of the town, the starting point of the many itineraries scattered around the island. The guide will decide which one to tackle, along the coast, enjoying landscapes from the other cliffs overlooking the sea, or to reach the highest altitudes, where you can admire breathtaking views, with the sea framing at 360 ° and the islands of Corsica, Elba and Gorgona in the background. Once back in port, you can visit the upper town and its characteristic village of colorful houses. In the evening we will be able to have dinner with the whole crew in a characteristic fish tourism, run by a family of fishermen.

Day 4

La barca è comoda, lunga 13,8mt x 4mt di larghezza e ben equipaggiata, Edoardo ci ha consentito di collaborare sempre in massima sicurezza e ci ha fornito preziosi consigli. Per noi un'esperienza indimenticabile che consiglio assolutamente a tutti.

Edoardo ci ha guidato alla scoperta di una vacanza indimenticabile. Il tragitto proposto è stato perfetto e lo Skipper ha saputo subito intuire ed assecondare i desideri dell'equipaggio. è nata subito la sintonia con la famiglia conosciuta a bordo ed abbiamo condiviso allegramente tutte le attività. La barca è comoda e pulita, ci siamo sentiti immediatamente a nostro agio. Edoardo è anche un paziente insegnante, questo ha permesso a tutto l'equipaggio di poter collaborare ed essere parte attiva durante le manovre e le veleggiate. Infine, navigare accanto alla barca di Fratè Marco ha aggiunto punti all'esperienza che ci piacerebbe molto ripetere!

Edoardo è uno skipper eccezionale! La sua esperienza e conoscenza di mare/venti è stata evidente da subito creando ambiente di fiducia e sicurezza per tutto l'equipaggio. La sua abilità nel navigare e condurre la barca hanno reso il viaggio fluido e piacevole. Oltre alla sua professionalità Edoardo ha una passione contagiosa per il mare e la vela condividendo con l'equipaggio timone, manovre, spiegazioni su come si veleggia, le Isole Capraia/Elba arricchendo cosi l'esperienza complessiva. La sua cortesia e attenzione alle esigenze di ciascun membro dell'equipaggio hanno reso la vacanza speciale! Cercherò altre occasioni per navigare nuovamente con lui e lo raccomanderei senza esitazioni a chi cerchi un'esperienza davvero super!
