This experience, in a nutshell

Join us to discover this jewel of the Tuscan Archipelago. An island with less than 400 inhabitants, which is almost entirely a nature reserve.


A small high village is the marina, along which we find some restaurants and shops selling typical local products.


The peaks are just over 400 meters high and dominate the island and are crossed by numerous more or less demanding paths, which make it a popular destination for trekking and diving enthusiasts from all over Europe.


Its coves full of caves, the crystal clear sea with seabed rich in life attract many lovers of the sea and sailing, especially because it is an island that can only be visited by boat.


All this, combined with a small number of accommodation facilities, makes Capraia an unspoiled naturalistic paradise that deserves to be discovered both from the sea and from the land!


We are waiting for you on board to experience this adventure together, in which sport, nature, relaxation and fun will be the ingredients that will make it magical and unforgettable.

Leg 1

Thursday

On Thursday afternoon we will embark and after arranging the galley and assigning the cabins, weather permitting, we will leave immediately to go and spend the night at anchor on the island of Elba. 

Leg 2

Friday

On Friday morning, after having a nice breakfast and a swim in the magnificent waters of May, we will sail to reach Capraia. A beautiful sail of about four hours, during which we will delight in maneuvering and steering the boat at the helm. We will arrive more or less at lunchtime in Cala del Moreto, a beautiful cove in the south of the island with crystal clear water colors. Here we will have lunch and before dark, a nice sail around the island awaits us. Passing through the picturesque Cala Rossa, Cala del Ceppo, the gulf of the port and Cala di Porto Vecchio, we will arrive at anchor at Mortola, one of the most evocative coves on the island for its colors and numerous caves along its rocky walls overlooking the sea. 

In the evening we will sleep at anchor, and doing it in a period when the sea is not crowded by mass tourism, makes it particularly exciting because it allows us to feel completely in contact with the sea.

Leg 3

Saturday

On Saturday morning we will enter the port, from where all the walks and trekking routes that branch off on the island begin. Accompanied by one of our guides who will be on board with us from the beginning, we will discover this island as wild as it is fascinating and rich in history, with its views overlooking the sea and the islands of Corsica, Elba and Gorgona that stand out on the horizon. Depending on the weather conditions and the level of the crew members, the guide will decide on an itinerary of medium or a little more advanced level, in order to make the experience pleasant and safe for everyone. In the evening, back in port, we will go to eat in a famous fish tourism run by a family of fishermen, where we will be able to enjoy a dinner based on local fish.

Leg 4

Sunday

In the morning we will return, but not before making a short stop at anchor outside the port, to enjoy the last moments of relaxation before facing the return navigation, and a last roadstead on the island of Elba, before returning to Piombino.

Edoardo è uno skipper davvero preparato e soprattutto molto attento alle esigenze di tutte le persone a bordo, rende la convivenza in barca estremamente piacevole ed allegra. Noi abbiamo vissuto un'esperienza eccezionale e conosciuto un equipaggio magnifico come lo skipper. 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!
