This experience, in a nutshell

A characteristic 18-meter schooner, with golden sails, built entirely of wood and designed for an environmental awareness project on the theme of plastic in the sea.

Navigating with us means taking a step back in time , it means experiencing those emotions that only history with its traditions can give you.
Lie on the deck, eyes closed, the sun warming your face and feeling the gentle roll of the boat as it safely plows the water.

Or imagine the satisfaction of hoisting the mainsail with your arms, together with two or three other people, to the sound of "ooh issa! Oooohhh issaaa !!" just like you will surely have seen in the adventurers 'and pirates' films.

With its 30 tons of tonnage and more than 200 square meters of sails, our schooner guarantees you to make you live special and unforgettable moments .

We are well aware of the damage that plastic is causing to our seas and to all marine species.
We therefore propose an adventure to hunt whales (and not only) inside the Mediterranean cetacean sanctuary , in an area between the Island of Elba, the Tuscan and Ligurian coast, Corsica .

Under the expert guidance of a marine biologist , we will have the opportunity to be participants and protagonists of a real scientific expedition to collect important data on cetaceans and the presence of micro and macro plastics in the sea; data that will then be communicated to environmental organizations and organizations that are tackling the issue globally.

The expedition will consist of many hours of navigation, to explore the largest surface possible, but we will also have the opportunity to visit wonderful coves and enchanting backdrops.

Ottimi skipper ed equipaggio, di grande competenza, simpatia e disponibilità. La barca, ammirata da tutti in porto e in mare, rappresenta un affascinante salto nel passato della navigazione a vela. Pensata e realizzata in ogni dettaglio per trasmettere le emozioni del mare di un tempo, quando i materiali utilizzati per la costruzione di una barca, anche di grandi dimensioni, erano esclusivamente quelli provenienti direttamente dalla natura. Per gli amanti della Vela, pochissimo motore e tante manovre con la sola forza del vento.
