This experience, in a nutshell

Two days and two nights at the beach, sport and relaxation in good company. Two days to switch off and recharge the batteries.

Sailing and trekking are two of the most beautiful sports to practice because they allow us, in addition to physical activity, to experience nature without haste, taking all the time we need to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

What could be better than combining the two?!


We will head to the Island of Elba, the largest of the archipelago, with its 147 km of coastline where the most disparate landscapes alternate with delightful villages and dreamy views!

On board with us, or directly on the island, there will be a guide ready to guide the crew on the land routes.

While you are on land I will move the boat to the bay or to the port at the end of the excursion (depending on the itinerary chosen). Another of the advantages of trekking by boat is that you don't have to go back to the starting point!


Elba offers a wide variety of more or less demanding treks.

The Volterraio, with its historic fort, Capo d Enfola and the beautiful gulfs of Viticcio and Biodola, the Capanne which with its 1074 meters is a respectable peak with a crazy panorama, the mines of Punta Calamita, the Zanca overlooking the village of S. Andrea, the trekking of Lacona that divides, precisely, the Gulf of Lacona from that of Gulf Stella. Just to name a few, the list could be much longer!


Our base will be the new marina of Piombino, the port just a few miles from the Island of Elba is easy to reach by car and therefore the ideal starting point for our trips.

After arranging our belongings in the cabin and the galley, we will immediately set off at sunset towards the island of Elba or early the next morning. Our itinerary will be dictated by the weather, depending on the forecast we will decide which route to follow, which part of the island to visit and whether to spend the night at anchor or in port.

For me it was the first experience of sailing and Edoardo made everything easy and wonderful, skipper and truly special person: helpful, present, very professional and nice, he got involved with a sui generis crew created at random, but randomly perfectly matched. He shared every choice with everyone and even let us try to manage the boat under his directions, a truly extraordinary experience. As I told him, for me he is the perfect embodiment of how I imagined a Skipper! Elba lends itself to adapting to weather changes without losing the charm and value of the holiday. One of the most beautiful holidays I've had, don't think about it for a moment you're in the right hands!!
