This experience, in a nutshell

A week wandering in the Tuscan Archipelago, between the Island of Elba, Capraia and Corsica. Lots of sailing, sea and new friends to explore the wonderful and wild bays of this corner of paradise in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Imagine yourself sitting there quietly on the starboard side while the profile of the coast receded and became small on the horizon leaving behind the traffic of the cities, the early wake-up call in the morning to go to work, the annoying colleagues, the queues at the post office and the supermarket... Is there anything else to add? 🙂

We will start our week with Elba and its countless coves, coves, ravines and beaches of all kinds. Once we have recharged our batteries and recharged our spirits, we will point the bow of the boat towards the island of Capraia.

THE ADVANTAGE OF LEAVING DIRECTLY FROM THE ISLAND OF ELBA?
Our port of embarkation is located in the north-eastern part of the island and is connected to the mainland by sea, thanks to the ferries that connect the port of Rio Marina to that of Piombino. The journey takes about an hour and tickets can be purchased online, by telephone or directly on site. The number of trips intensifies in the vicinity and with the arrival of the high season: in July and August there are ten daily trips from 8am to 7pm. The real convenience is that you can park your car in one of the many car parks and garages in Piombino and then once you get off the ferry you are already in front of our boat... and YOUR HOLIDAY STARTS IMMEDIATELY!

We'll pass through the cetacean sanctuary where dolphins often enjoy accompanying the boat as it sails the waves. Before sleeping in the harbor in the starlight, there will be an aperitif at sunset at Cala Rossa, so called because of the rocks that literally explode at sunset.

We will then head to the coasts of Corsica to explore the wonderful and wild bays of this little-trodden corner of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It will be a twenty-mile crossing on the open sea ploughing through the waves while the sun, the sea and the wind transport us to another dimension.

It is a holiday suitable for everyone, from friends to families, from sailing lovers to those who may have decided to give it a try this year.

Sun & Fun Flotilla at the Ionian - Age 25/40

Prima volta per me in barca a vela e devo dire che non sarebbe potuta andare meglio: ho trascorso una settimana indimenticabile! Equipaggio formidabile, equilibrato e ben assortito. Mattia ha dimostrato di essere un super skipper, sempre professionale, ma ”leggero” all’occorrenza, membro insostituibile di questa ciurma meravigliosa! Unica pecca: la differenza tra le imbarcazioni in termini di dimensioni e comfort, aspetto a cui bisognerebbe prestare più attenzione o quanto meno chiarirlo sin dall’inizio (e che preveda eventuali differenze di tariffe).

Un'esperienza unica in barca a vela, consigliatissima per chi ama il mare, la vita in barca ed il divertimento. Iosole ioniche bellissime, Ciurma stellare, Skipper (Mattia) formidabile! Tante risate ed amicizie nate tra un bagno in mare, mille brindisi ed una cantata a squarciagola in rada sotto le stelle. What else? Marmaglia is on fire!

Vacanza intensa ed entusiasmante che lascia il segno. Ogni giorno si visita una nuova caletta, un locale affacciato sul mare come i famosi mulini a vento oppure si fa festa direttamente in barca e si invita tutta la flottiglia. L'organizzazione si impegna quotidianamente a creare occasioni di aggregazione, di divertimento e di avventura. In quei giorni la barca diventa la propria casa e l'equipaggio la propria famiglia. Sette giorni di esperienze intense, con nuovi amici che una volta finita la vacanza ti sembra di conoscere da una vita.

Prima esperienza in barca a vela e devo dire che non sarebbe potuta essere migliore: 4n all'Elba, 1n Capraia e 2n Corsica. Surreali! Meteo Favorevolissimo. Alessandro è stato un attento e formidabile Skipper, che ci ha accontentato in tutto: rade, destinazione e navigazione. Oltre ad insegnarci i primi passi nella vela, è entrato a far parte del gruppo dal primo giorno senza venir meno ai suoi compiti e responsabilità. Aria, così si chiamava la nostra imbarcazione, seppur di qualche anno e spazi un pò strettini per me che son cinghialotto, non ha limitato la nostra esperienza e funzionava tutto a dovere soprattutto grazie all'attenta cura di Alessandro nel manutenerla. Ormai questa esperienza sarà da fare tutti gli anni! Già si pensa alla prossima destinazione! Buon vento a tutti!
