This experience, in a nutshell

Two days and two nights of seanature and relaxation in good company. Two days to switch off and recharge your batteries. Sailing in a flotilla for two days is perhaps the best way to fully enjoy an island that you can only see in a few periods of the year. 

 


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!

This period of the season is magical for sailing, the water begins to have that perfect temperature that invites you to take long swims and the days are long, we are in the middle of spring with unique shows of colors and scents. It is the great privilege of being a few people out and about and being able to enjoy it to the fullest.


To the north we can sail in the beautiful gulfs of Viticcio, Biodola and Procchio, visit MarcianaMarina and San Andrea and go as far as Punta Polveraia and the wreck of Pomonte, both in the western part of the island, the wildest and most unspoiled area. The east side is no less and offers us other beauties of nature such as the islets of Ortano and Palmaiola or the large gulf of Porto Azzurro, where we can anchor and go ashore to visit the town, continuing, once we have rounded Punta dei Rialti we arrive at the abandoned mines of Capoliveri that mark the entrance to the beautiful south side of Elba.



Our base will be the beautiful Marina di San Vincenzo, The port is only 4 hours by boat from the Island of Elba, it is easy to reach by car and train (the station is only 200 meters from the port) 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. 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.



The itineraries can satisfy both the most experienced and those approaching the world of sailing for the first time. On board, everyone will be able to learn the basics of sailing and participate in maneuvers. These will be days of sea, relaxation, nature and fun in company.



In fact, we will sail in a flotilla, with another boat, one more opportunity to socialize and why not, challenge the other crew in short regattas

Bellissima esperienza, bellissimo equipaggio, ma soprattutto ottimo Skipper!!! Marco mette a suo agio le persone, sempre disponibile e molto preparato. Mi ha permesso di affrontare serenamente la mia prima esperienza in barca a vela. Visitando nuovi posti grazie anche alla perfetta combinazione barca a vela + trekking (e ben organizzata, un ringraziamento anche Francesco "Checco" la nostra guida!) Grazie a tutto il meraviglioso gruppo che mi ha accompagnato in questa nuova avventura!!!

Ottima vacanza, che ci ha permesso di godere sia del piacere di navigare in uno splendido mare, sia di fare delle piacevoli camminate tra i boschi della costa dell'isola, baciati da un caldo sole di inizio Ottobre. Marco (skypper) e Checco (guida trekking) sono 2 persone eccellenti sia per le loro caratteristiche umane, sia per la loro professionalità. Marco è una persona sempre attenta alle necessità e richieste della "ciurma", ci ha assistito e guidato in questa breve (purtroppo) vacanza facendoci scoprire angoli meravigliosi di una natura ancora sorprendente e, non ultimo, i piaceri del palato in ristorantini che non avremmo mai scoperto da soli, ma anche, in barca, dove ci ha cucinato una gustosissima pasta col pesce che aveva pescato lui stesso. Infine un ringraziamento ai compagni di viaggio che hanno reso questa gita quello che speravo: relax, divertimento ed un'ottima esperienza umana. Un saluto a tutti, speriamo di rivederci alla prossima. Buon Vento a tutti.

Ho trascorso un bellissimo weekend in barca a vela con uno skipper davvero eccezionale, la sua competenza e la sua esperienza si sono dimostrate fondamentali per rendere l’esperienza sicura e divertente. Lo skipper ha reso il viaggio ancora più speciale con le sue storie e la sua passione per la vela. Per gli amanti del trekking l’isola d’Elba è il posto perfetto con i suoi sentieri che attraversano boschi e scogliere affacciate sul mare,. È stato davvero un weekend rilassante e avventuroso, grazie Marco
