This experience, in a nutshell

Get on board with our association to spend a weekend with your friends or family. The Gulf of Poets in addition to the beauty of its landscapes, offers a perfect marine environment for navigation: the protected sea space inside the Gulf is large and sailing is allowed even in the large port. The wind, especially in the afternoon, is almost always present. In short, an ideal place to navigate. But also where to enjoy the bays, the sun and the sea.

General program of the weekend: The program we have created will allow you to enjoy the splendid landscape of the Gulf of La Spezia :

On Friday evening there will be boarding and accommodation in the cabins, then a short briefing by the skipper on life on board and safety equipment. For dinner we will go ashore to taste the local fish-based delicacies.

On Saturday morning we will set sail to admire Portovenere from the sea, with the ancient church of San Lorenzo, the Doria castle and the Byron cave . We will then visit the island of Palmaria , with its beautiful coves, where we can stop for a nice swim, the islet of Tino and the small Tinetto. In the evening we will anchor in the canal in front of Porto Venere to admire all its beauty, even at night.

On Sunday morning we will head towards the village of Tellaro, reviewed as one of the most beautiful in Italy, and on our return we will stop in the bay of Lerici, which with its beautiful castle, will be the setting for another regenerating stop and our lunch Alternatively, if the marine weather conditions allow it and guests request it, on Saturday morning we will be able to head north and sail along the Cinque Terre which we will reach in about 3 hours of navigation. In Vernazza we could disembark with Tonino's typical Ligurian gozzo (which will pick us up on board to accompany us ashore), while in Monterosso it will be possible to stop at anchor even for the night and go ashore with the service dinghy. On Sunday we will set sail to sail towards the return.

On board, everyone can freely choose whether to relax and enjoy the holiday in complete relaxation, or whether to try to get involved by experimenting with the maneuvers or taking the helm (under the supervision of the skipper).

Everyone is only asked to participate in life on board, as each one wants and can do, in an atmosphere of fun and mutual collaboration.
A common fund will be created on board among the guests to support the expenses of food, ports and fuel.

The activities of our association have always been guided by the ethical values that are the basis of our daily actions: we sail according to the principles of responsible tourism, with respect for the environment to guide us. Our main fuel is wind and our energy is solar.
We will do the separate collection of waste and we will not use disposable plastic tableware.

We are waiting for you on board!

NB: The program may vary according to weather and sea conditions and the choices of guests on board

Too bad for the lack of wind... We had to go motor. Overall they were two beautiful days. Sandro is kind and helpful, with interesting conversations. Thank you

The itinerary is interesting and fascinating, the boat is not exactly 100% efficient due to some important deficiencies that penalized the week. Capable and competent skipper but not very empathetic. Excellent company, nice and cheerful. Overall sufficient judgment.

L'Île de Beauté: sailing in Corsica with night return

We have just concluded a wonderful week-long cruise with Captain Sandro, an experience that we will always carry in our hearts. Thanks to his expert guide we reached northern Corsica, visiting Capraia, Macinaggio and the charming village of Centuri: unforgettable baths, aperitifs and a sunset dinner of rare beauty, before returning to the Island of Elba due to the worsening weather conditions. What makes sailing with Sandro unique is not only the knowledge of the most authentic places, but above all his extraordinary experience. Always attentive to the weather forecast, he was able to make wise and safe decisions. Sandro in adverse weather conditions showed a cool head and competence by bringing us to safety at the port, avoiding risks for both us and the boat. With him, the sea is experienced in its beauty, but always in total safety. A true commander, in the truest sense of the word. Highly recommended for those who want an unforgettable cruise, between wonderful places and the certainty of being in expert hands.

We spent two unforgettable days on a sailboat, lulled by the sound of the waves, despite the not exactly kind weather, We breathed the essentials of an experience at sea that I would do again tomorrow. What we appreciated most was authenticity: a value that we are losing, but that here you rediscover and understand how precious it is and must be protected. We had the privilege of sharing this experience with a wonderful family, With Valentina and her boys we immediately got in tune, united by the passion for the sea. Sandro, the skipper, with his passion and experience, made everything simple and true, allowing us to experience the sea in depth, safely and without haste. The most intense emotion? The sails that swell in the wind, the silence broken only by the hull that cuts through the water, the feeling of freedom that enters you and makes you feel part of the sea. And then dinner on deck under the stars, with the distant lights of the coast and the breeze caressing the skin, while time seems to stand still. A sore point? It lasted too short! We recommend this experience to those looking for a different, intimate, regenerating and authentic weekend, to return home with a lighter heart and full of gratitude.
