This experience, in a nutshell

SUNDAY : Boarding in the morning, short welcome briefing and organization, then accommodation in the respective cabins. Subsequently, if it has not been done in advance, we all go together to do the galley in the supermarkets and shops of the town. Back on the boat we stow the provisions and then have lunch. In the very early afternoon we leave the port of San Vincenzo for Capraia where we can take the first swim in the late afternoon. Night under the stars at anchor.

MONDAY : Early morning departure and navigation to Corsica , often reached by sail in about 3 hours. We will find beaches and seabeds with sands of all colors where we can swim, snorkel or use canoes and sup to explore the coast. The Tower of Santa Maria, the Cala Genovese or the bay of the Finocchiarola Islands are the possible stops, to name the most famous in the surroundings of Macinaggio . Evening at anchor with the possibility of going ashore for an aperitif or dinner.

TUESDAY: In the morning we set sail and skirting Capo Corso and the islet of Giraglia we sail along the west coast of the so-called "finger", one of the wildest and most rugged places in Corsica. We pass in front of the fishing village of Centuri and further down towards the south we arrive in the late morning at the "Caribbean" beaches of Loto and Saleccia with their white sand and turquoise waters. At sunset we are at anchor in front of the town of Saint Florent with a visit or dinner ashore in a typical local restaurant.

WEDNESDAY: In the morning we move for a swim and lunch under the Genoese Tower of Mortella, at the beginning of the Gulf of Saint Florent . In the afternoon navigation back to the north towards a sheltered bay, Centuri or Macinaggio depending on the weather situation to spend the night there.

THURSDAY: Early in the morning we leave for a sail to Capraia . Swimming and lunch at the Moreto under the Zenobito Tower or in the large bay of Ceppo. In the late afternoon coastal navigation towards the port passing by the magnificent cliffs. Which characterize the Cala Rossa, the symbol of Capraia. “Mandatory” shore excursion, for an aperitif in the enchanted village. Dinner at the port if we have previously booked in order to fully enjoy the beauty of the village of Capraia Isola.

FRIDAY: In the morning we will be able to take a walk with shopping in search of the typical products of the island, essences and aromas directly from the Mediterranean scrub, gastronomy and enology products or small characteristic crafts. Then a last swim in the crystalline waters of the island and then bow towards the Elbe which we will reach after just over 3 hours spent relaxing, perhaps dedicating ourselves to trolling in one of the most fishy areas of the Ligurian Sea. Dinner and night at anchor between Marciana and Portoferraio .

SATURDAY : Awakening swim in the sea, breakfast in navigation and return to Marina di San Vincenzo with luggage preparation. Final greetings and disembarkation by 4pm.

NB: The week described is purely indicative and can be changed according to the needs of the guests and above all to the current and expected weather conditions, it being understood that the last and unquestionable judgment rests with the Captain, responsible by law for the safety of the boat and crew and in any case with over thirty years of experience in this type of activity.

To participate in the experience, the anti Covid regulations in force at the time of departure will be followed.

Scoprire la barca a vela con Andrea è un'esperienza unica. Il comandante sa padroneggiare ogni situazione, gestire a modo le esigenze di tutti i partecipanti e rendersi disponibile a insegnare tutti i segreti della vela. È stata un'esperienza unica e lo ringraziamo per quello che ci ha fatto vivere. Sei e resterai per sempre nel nostro cuore Comandante. Fabrizio e Mariana

Se l'occasione di un viaggio in barca a vela è quella di ritrovarsi, ondeggiando fra solitudine e socialità, questo viaggio sulla barca di Andrea è stato introspettivo, riflessivo e veramente particolare: imparare a guardarsi, guardando gli altri. Grazie Andrea di essere un ottimo marinaio e una persona non comune, né banale. Grazie ai miei improbabili e ottimi compagni di viaggio. Grazie ai meravigliosi luoghi che abbiamo incontrato.
