Sailing in a flotilla for three days is perhaps the best way to fully enjoy an Island of Elba that can only be seen in a few times of the year.
The largest of the Tuscan archipelago, with its 147 km of coastline, it offers us endless possibilities for itineraries in which the most varied landscapes alternate with delightful villages and dreamy glimpses!
This is one of the times of the year that we like the most, everything is calm, the earth begins its slow preparation after the winter, it sheds its skin: the colours, the noises, the smells, everything takes on a different aspect.
The days, longer and longer, alternate between beautiful sailing and sunny bays that welcome us with their crystal clear water . Even the stops on land show us ports and villages other than the summer ones and beautiful trekking in the spring landscapes of Elba. All surrounded by great meals and evenings with friends .
Our base will be San Vincenzo , the marina just a few miles from the Island of Elba and easy to reach by car or train (the station is just a 5-minute walk from the port) and therefore the ideal starting point for our trips.
After having arranged our things in the cabin and made the galley, we will leave immediately sailing at sunset towards the island of Elba .
Our itinerary will be dictated by the weather, depending on the forecast we will decide which route to follow, which part of the island to visit and whether to spend the nights at anchor or in port.
To the north we can sail in the beautiful gulfs of Viticcio, Biodola and Procchio , visit Marciana Marina and San Andrea and go as far as Punta Polveraia and the Pomonte wreck, both in the western part of the island, the wildest and most uncontaminated area.
The east side is no less and offers us other beauties of nature such as the islets of Ortano and Palmaiola or the great gulf of Porto Azzurro , where we can give anchor and go ashore to visit the town, continuing, once rounded Punta dei Rialti you arrive at the abandoned mines of Capoliveri which mark the entrance to the wonderful south side of Elba.
The itineraries can satisfy both the more experienced and those approaching the world of sailing for the first time. They will be days of relaxation, nature and fun in company.
In fact, we will sail in a flotilla, one more opportunity to socialize and why not, challenge the other crew in short regattas.
We will sail with Marco T. , to see his crew click here:

My boat is a 1991 Gib Sea 442.
It is one of the last projects of the Gib Sea shipyard before it was taken over by another more well-known and large French shipyard.
The boat has the characteristics and construction qualities of the period, when they were not yet mass produced and the attention to solidity and marine qualities were important. It is therefore a safe boat and designed to sail on almost all occasions.
Internally it is divided into four cabins, two double aft and two with bunk beds in the bow. It has three bathrooms, two with toilet and one with a comfortable shower.
Solar panels and a wind turbine make us self-sufficient for electricity.
It has 600 liters of water and a purification plant that makes it drinkable (so we don't have to buy plastic bottles).
The L-shaped kitchen has everything you need, two burners, an oven and two fridges.
The dinette is comfortable and 10 people can eat comfortably at the table.
The real teak interiors have the warmth and sensations of a welcoming and homely environment.
Under each bed and sofa, as well as in the cockpit, there are large lockers, in addition to the sail locker for an almost unlimited stowage space.
The Yanmar engine, one of the best in the industry, was installed new in 2016.
