This experience, in a nutshell

This week our sailing boat will sail to the marvelous coves of Giglio Island and the magnificent coasts of Elba Island .
We will embark on Saturday evening in the elegant Marina di San Vincenzo, the tourist port of the city. From here, on Sunday morning we will sail to Elba.

On the first day we will visit Porto Azzurro , a characteristic fishing village, surrounded by golden beaches and the deep blue waters of the sea. The main feature of this country lies in the ability to offer its visitors many interesting activities, being characterized not only by a rich natural heritage, but by an equally precious and varied artistic-cultural heritage.

Monday we will sail until we reach Giglio Island where we will stop for another whole day to circumnavigate the island and explore its beautiful bays: the lonely and wild Cala dell'Allume with its transparent waters and the Cannelle beach , where a very fine and gently degrading white sand will give us colors from tropical seas.

On Tuesday evening, a night sailing will be scheduled to return to Elba. The exciting navigation under a starry vaulted sky will be the most beautiful memory of this splendid adventure. We will then arrive on Wednesday morning in Golfo Stella where we will be able to admire the romantic cove of Innamorata . watched over by the Gemini islets, with the clarity of their waters and the suggestive and incomparable sunsets.
The legend of the Innamorata takes us back to the pirate era and precisely in 1534 and tells us the sad and romantic story of two young lovers: Lorenzo and Maria. In an attempt to save her beloved, kidnapped and dragged by the pirates of Barbarossa, the young betrothed (Innamorata, hence the name of the beach) threw herself into the sea disappearing into the waves. Only his shawl was found on a rock, called the scarf since then.
In the afternoon we will stop en route to Marina di Campo , where we will sleep at anchor in front of the beach.

Thursday we will continue to reach what is considered the most suggestive beach of the island: Fetovavia with its fine beach and its crystal clear waters. For the evening we will head for Marciana Marina , a small jewel of the island. Just five square kilometers of lush nature that develop around the beautiful promenade and its squares, rightly considered real salons overlooked by elegant and well-kept homes of illustrious guests.

On Friday, we will dedicate ourselves to exploring the marvelous bays of Procchio, Biodola and Vitccio .
For the last night the wonderful Gulf of Baratti will welcome us, a perfect combination of a crystal clear sea, a history of important civilizations and the typical nature of the Maremma.
Disembarkation is scheduled for Saturday morning.

Life on board is relaxed and fun, new friends are made and together we collaborate in the management of common life.
Those who want to enjoy the sun and those who want to learn will find in our skipper a valid teacher who will willingly give the helm to those who want to try their hand at running, alongside it with valuable advice.

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

Everyone is asked only to participate in the life on board, each as he or she wants and can do, in an atmosphere of fun and mutual collaboration.
A crate will be created on board to support the costs of galley, ports and fuel.

The activities of our association have always been oriented 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 the wind and our energy is solar. We will do the separate collection of waste and we will not use disposable plastic dishes.

Shooting Star Cruise in Corsica with return at night

Alessandro è uno skipper gentile sotto la scorza del marinaio duro e scontroso. Attento alle esigenze di tutti, sa iniziare i membri dell’equipaggio ai valori autentici ed essenziali del mare, condividendo le sue competenze e aprendo, qualche volta gelosamente, la sua barca “Vaga-Mente” a chi, come me, desiderava abbandonarsi alla brezza del vento.

Alessandro è una persona squisita oltre che molto competente e disponibile. Ci ha fatto sentire sempre sicuri in ogni situazione, anche in quelle dove il meteo non è stato dei migliori. Crociera rilassante e divertente, ottima musica, peccato per il poco vento. Toccherà tornare! Esperienza indubbiamente consigliata.

Alessandro è uno skipper disponibile e professionale, profondo conoscitore e amante del mare e della vela. Trasmette agli ospiti la propria passione raccontando le sue esperienze di vita legate al mare. Piacevole week end. Esperienza consigliata. Solo un po' di elasticità in più per il consumo dell'acqua per la doccia di fine giornata.
