This experience, in a nutshell

Spring finally arrives and the Tuscan archipelago blooms again. The days are getting longer and with them the desire to immerse yourself in nature and light, what could be better than a weekend on a sailboat?



Let yourself be lulled by the waves in a 14-meter boat full of all comforts and only for 4 guests.


We will take care of you by making you discover wild places, land itineraries and enjoy carefully prepared dishes accompanied by excellent local wines. Some examples of our culinary workhorses: baked sea bass, linguine with seafood, octopus with potatoes.



Guests will have 2 large double cabins at the stern and a bathroom with hot shower provided, while we will occupy the bow area: there will therefore be considerable living space both inside and outside the boat.

Our base is the port of Cala dei Medici in Rosignano where you can leave your car, and easily accessible from wherever you arrive.



You will be our guests from Friday, when we will welcome you with a welcome aperitif/dinner on board where we will get to know each other. The next morning, after a briefing on safety and rules on board, we will leave the moorings towards the island of Capraia (about 32 nautical miles away).



We will spend the day on Saturday on the trail of dolphins, numerous here due to the presence of the cetacean sanctuary, and we will have lunch at anchor in the quietest cove depending on the winds and weather conditions to continue sailing around the island, which being of volcanic origin, offers spectacular views and the observation of various species of birds.



In the late afternoon we will take shelter in the port, an authentic and fascinating place, as it is the only village on the island that can be reached by the only paved road. The town, a picturesque maze of stone streets, is dominated by a beautiful tower and the fort San Giorgio built by the Genoese in the 1500s overlooking the sea after the passage of the corsair Dragut.


In the evening, we can have dinner on board or try one of the typical restaurants of the island.



The next morning, depending on the weather and your preferences, we can opt for either a shore excursion (there are several marked itineraries that we have already done, they are beautiful, full of flowers and with a splendid view of the archipelago) or return to anchor in a cove where we can have lunch before the crossing to the port of departure, where we expect to arrive around 6 pm.



Meals are generally provided on board and we will take care of the shopping taking into account your preferences, and any intolerances or allergies.



We remind you that the itineraries and activities are subject to weather conditions, and therefore to the unquestionable judgment of the captain, being at sea the most important thing is safety!

Leg 1

Mortola Beach

Beautiful cove in the middle of nature with an excellent white sandy bottom, therefore excellent anchor hold and turquoise water.

Leg 2

Cala rossa

This cove with a transparent seabed and the wall where you can still clearly see the ancient volcanic eruption is an unmissable visit for all sailors. Small cave to explore with the board or tender equipped with an electric


motor

Leg 3

Cala del Moreto

Immediately after Cala Rossa, Cala del Moreto, in the south of the island, offers a wild environment with a large number of marine fauna dominated by the ancient tower of Zenobito


Cala del Moreto

Leg 4

Port & Country

The marina and village of Capraia is, in our opinion, one of the most authentic places in the archipelago. Life here is quiet (there are only about 300 inhabitants on the island), but aperitifs and good food are not lacking.

Leg 5

Shore Itinerary

The island is full of marked itineraries and is a true paradise for all nature lovers, especially in spring when the blooms of the Mediterranean scrub are at their peak.

Vacanza superlativa, con Michel e Cinzia sembrava di conoscerci da sempre e si è creata una bella squadra. Persone squisite e coppia affiatata non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla, lui un rassicurante capitano e lei una perfetta padrona "di barca". Ci hanno insegnato come la barca a vela sia una splendida metafora della vita. Grazie di tutto, a prestissimo!

Si è sempre alla ricerca della vacanza perfetta, beh questa lo è stata. Michel un ottimo skipper attento premuroso sempre pronto ad esaudire ogni nostro desiderio "parcheggiando" sempre in prima fila per garantirci tuffi nelle acque più cristalline. Cinzia un'hostess, una cuoca, una cantante e molto di più dalla simpatia e dal sorriso coinvolgente. Due esempi unici di Hospitality. Con loro la nostra vacanza è stata davvero una vacanza come si deve! Proprio quello che volevamo e anche di più. Grazie mille ancora di tutto e... all'anno prossimo!!! Paolo Irene Gabriele e Veronica

Una meravigliosa vacanza! Michele e Cinzia sono molto di più di uno skipper e una hostess. Lui un capitano perfetto, scrupoloso e molto affidababile. Lei una hostess meravigliosa, una cuoca bravissima che ogni giorni ci prelibava di pasti sublimi. Sono una bellissima coppia, molto affiatata. Non ci hanno fatto mancare niente, ci hanno cullato e viziato dall’inizio alla fine ed è proprio per questo che hanno reso la nostra vacanza indimenticabile. Grazie veramente di cuore. Elena, Irene, Martina e Ranieri
