This experience, in a nutshell

An experience dedicated to those who want to get acquainted with the world of sailing, share joys and emotions and create new beautiful friendships in a serene and protected environment.


An immersive experience reserved for women who want to unplug and reconnect with their creativity.

A creative journey between wind and sea to learn how to bring your emotions to paper

Away from the noise of the mainland, we will use the sea as a mirror and the boat as a living room to explore the narrative of oneself.


A weekend creative writing course on a sailing boat together with successful writers who will tell how a book is born and how to transform emotions and thoughts into written word.


We accommodate 4 people in two aft double cabins, however, during the individual days other guests can be added to complete the group.


Outline of the creative writing path


The beginning: Breaking the ice and leaving the "blank sheet" behind.

The five senses: Describe the invisible (the scent of salt, the sound of the wind).

The flow: Writing exercises guided by the roll of the waves.

Editing: Thin out the superfluous, keep only the essentials.

Let's chart the course. Writing for oneself/writing for others. Writing about oneself/writing about others.

The flow: Let's leave the safe harbor and get involved by telling a story we have in mind.

The arrival: We read our texts to see where the sea of our creativity has taken us.

Return to the base at 5:00 PM to have time to close the creative experience, connect the dots to create a drawing, and get ready to return home with a new bag and some amazing new friends.

It was a beautiful day of conviviality and good humor. Silvia and Andrea are two very prepared skippers and were very willing to answer all the curiosities or questions we asked them. 2 of us suffered a bit from the sea and they immediately made themselves available to assist us with bottles of water and healthy laughter :). Highly recommended
