This experience, in a nutshell

This week our sailing boat will sail towards the wonderful coves of the Giglio Island and the magnificent coasts of the 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 towards Elba.

The first day we will visit Porto Azzurro , a characteristic fishing village, surrounded by golden beaches and the deep blue of the sea waters. The main feature of this country lies in the ability to offer its visitors many interesting activities, being characterized by both a rich natural heritage and an equally precious and varied artistic and cultural heritage.

On Monday we will sail until we reach the Isola del Giglio , we will sleep at anchor or, if we find a place, in the small harbor. A trip not to be missed is a visit to the charming village of Giglio Castello .
On Tuesday we will spend the whole day circumnavigating the island to explore its beautiful bays: the solitary and wild Cala dell'Allume , with its transparent waters, and the Spiaggia delle Cannelle , where a very fine and gently sloping white sand will give us colors from the seas tropical.

On Tuesday evening, the return to Elba is scheduled for a night sailing. The thrilling navigation under a celestial vault illuminated by stars will be the best memory of this splendid adventure.

We will then arrive on Wednesday morning in Golfo Stella where we will have the opportunity to admire the romantic cove of Innamorata watched over by the Gemini Islets , with the clarity of their waters and the evocative and incomparable sunsets.
The Innamorata legend takes us back to the age of pirates and precisely in 1534 and tells us the sad and romantic story of two young lovers: Lorenzo and Maria. The young bride-to-be (Innamorata, hence the name of the beach), in an attempt to save her beloved, kidnapped and dragged on the ship by the pirates of Barbarossa, threw herself into the sea and disappeared among the waves. Only her shawl was found on a rock, since then called the Ciarpa.
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 evocative beach of the island: the Fetovavia with its fine beach and its crystal clear waters. For the evening we will head to Marciana Marina , a small jewel of the island. Just five square kilometers of luxuriant nature that develop around the beautiful promenade and its squares, rightly considered real lounges overlooked by elegant and well-kept homes of illustrious guests.

Friday during the day we will dedicate ourselves to exploring the wonderful bays of Procchio, Biodola and Viticcio .
For the last night we will be welcomed by the wonderful Gulf of Baratti , a perfect combination of a crystalline 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, you make new friends and work together in the management of common life.

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).

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.
