Brief description of the holiday

Now that the sun rises early and never sets, it's time for lovers of light and the sea.
A week dedicated to sailing, the sun, the sea, unforgettable aperitifs at sunset and excellent cuisine on board .

Without forgetting the Elba nightlife of the charming alleys of the most well-known seaside villages and not of the island, where you can savor a local white wine, while we glimpse some characters of the international jet set in the crowd, to then return to the quiet of a magical night at anchor chatting in the cockpit and sipping a good aged rum.
In short, everything I would expect from a cruise on Elba.

We want you to experience a cruise dedicated to sharing the boat , the elements and personal knowledge and experiences, a journey aimed at observing the beauty of the places by filtering their essence through the passion for sailing and the sea.

We await you in the evening for an aperitif and to share dinner on board, so we will have the opportunity to get to know each other and for me to understand your individual aptitudes and abilities, so as to be able to better manage the crew, which the following morning, after a hearty breakfast, it will be ready to set sail.

After a briefing on how to behave on board, and off we go: we let go of the moorings and set course for Elba.

Impossible to draw up a program; never again indicated that on a sailboat is the old adage "Go where the wind takes you" . Interpreting sky and sea from experience and with a little help from the weather report, we head towards splendid Elba, which we will reach around noon. There, after anchoring, you will be able to fully enjoy the crystalline sea of the island.

In the meantime, Angela and I will prepare lunch, always fresh and different and suitable for the summer season. In the afternoon we set sail again this time heading towards a safe shelter where we can spend the night at anchor or in one of the welcoming marinas of the most famous places on Elba. We would then have the opportunity to visit Portoferraio, Porto Azzurro, Marciana Marina and Capoliveri.

With our many years of experience, Angela and I will do everything to make your stay on board as exciting and enjoyable as possible.

Interest in and participation in sailing is always particularly welcome, to which we have dedicated our history, and which continues to make each of our new experiences magical!

Check out the crew!

Three wonderful days of sun and sea, enjoyed thanks to the professionalism, availability and courtesy of Fabio, an expert commander, and Angela, an exceptional cook. They took care of all the tasks of the boat leaving us the pleasure of enjoying this little holiday.

Three wonderful days in wonderful company .... full of sun, sea and also good (as well as abundant) food! Fabio expert captain and Angela ... who took care of all the culinary part ... from the galley to the tidying up, they made the holiday a real 5 stars!

Wonderful holiday regarding the places visited and the very nice and fun travel companions !!! As for the skipper his boundless ego... presumption and arrogance have caused unpleasant and sometimes embarrassing discussions !!! Little food available and the possibility of opening the refrigerator even for a glass of water

Unfortunately the skipper caused various embarrassing discussions for his presumption, for example: "on my boat I DECIDE" which was answered to us on various occasions, without any possibility of reply. I also find it unfair that it is charged the night of departure in Punta Ala and the night of arrival in Punta Ala when we could have left for Elba at 5 pm and sleep at anchor, as well as for the return sleep at anchor and leave Elba on Saturday morning very early. Unfortunately, I wanted to do the holiday at sea and not in port! I find it incorrect to pay the port where the boat stops annually. We would have saved 40 euros per person of port in Punta Ala and made an extra day of vacation. Only with adverse or uncomfortable weather conditions can sleep in Punta Ala on Sunday night and on Friday return be fine.

As soon as we climb we notice alas the complete absence of external cushions. This will condition our holiday, forced to lie uncomfortably on the wood or fiberglass of the deckhouse. The table in the cockpit evidently not provided for has been replaced by a "practical" resealable wooden artifact, which once opened greatly limits movements. The companion of the skipper charlatan claims that the cushions have flown into the sea for a few weeks, he says instead that there has never been: that they at least agree! Only after various insistences we are provided with 4 indoor pillows, absolutely inadequate but better than nothing. The ladder - perpendicular to the water - also acts as a walkway and is of an unprecedented inconvenience: getting on and off the water becomes a challenge. Fortunately, the pleasant harmony established between us 4 "passengers" and the beauty of the circumnavigated island helped us to overcome other problems such as poor external cleanliness.

Three unforgettable days on the island of Elba on the boat "Allegra" in name and in fact. Fabio, the skipper, welcomes us on the deck of the hull in the marina of Punta Ala with a smile and a rare availability ... Then we will discover that in the morning a terrible 'witch's blow' had blocked him in bed until just before. Stoic, available and smiling always and in any case, he did everything together with Angela to make the experience of navigation and life on board, a unique memory. The wind in your hair, the swollen sails and the blue sky towards Elba.. the night, skies of stars and the ticking of the trees of the boats moored in the port .. Angela, handyman cook and if necessary excellent hub, kind and precise. A boat of almost 14 meters comfortable clean and well maintained. And then four wonderful adventure companions (Daniele, Betta, Gabriele, Elisa) Nice accomplices of long chats and anecdotes of past experiences. Tuscan doc with a strong sense of humor

Wonderful experience, Fabio and Angela are very kind and professional, you will not have to think about anything for the rest of the holiday, just to relax and enjoy the sea. I will definitely be back on their boat. A hug and see you next time! Cristina

Very relaxing holiday. Fabio and Angela available on all fronts. In relation to the weather conditions, the experience and the proposals of the skipper together we agreed on the stages and the day as well as the bays in which to stop. I am fully satisfied and so are my children.

Angela: always very helpful and attentive to the needs of the crew as well as always present during the maneuvers at sea. Fabio : deep connoisseur of the coast of the island of Elba. its talkativeness has contributed in a fundamental way to aggregate a very heterogeneous crew. experience that will remain in my most beautiful memories.

Fabio and Angela host you at their home and don't make you think about anything anymore... relaxation, sea, food, wine beautiful places and beautiful stories. So if that's what you want, it's the perfect vacation! It was my first experience on the boat and I'm already thinking about the next one; so it means that it is only positive what they left me. Thank you and good wind !

The week on board was gorgeous! Fabio and Angela are sunny, helpful and kind. Fabio has a great experience of navigation and transmits all his passion for Sailing. Sailing with him is TOP!

Fabio is a good skypper, nice and caring. As a polite professional, he tries to please his guests, but remember that it is the sea and the wind that decide so you have to know how to adapt to every eventuality.

To be my first sailing experience I am totally satisfied. The big credit goes to the skipper Fabio who alone managed to manage everything great and managed to make us live this experience at 360 degrees. From the quality of his kitchen to the cleanliness of the boat and above all a special attention to satisfy any need of us crew members. The only negative note was the weather that forced us to postpone the departure for Elba for a day, and limited us a bit even with sailing. But super recommended holiday!!!

Great experience. Fabio had to manage this cruise on his own, taking care of everything. Clean boat, great food. Unfortunately, a suboptimal weather has constrained the itinerary and the use of sails. Holiday more than promoted.

Truly memorable holiday, and very respectable Captain. The thing I appreciated most is the fact that he took advantage of the exploitable wind without ever backing down, and trying to make the boat as performing as possible despite the effort that this entails. As a sailor (from the lake) I can say that it really made me have fun and allowed me and my friend to steer when the conditions were there. In addition, Fabio has been able to create an excellent environment on board, always trying to involve the whole group in the decisions on the itinerary and on the program. Also appreciable is the transparent management of the galley, and the skill with which he was able to compose it, satisfying everyone's needs and cooking (well, moreover) accordingly. Rating 10/10 : I hope to take more holidays with him. Good wind Fabio!!

The week spent together with Fabio and Angela was wonderful, relaxing and very informative! The boat is spacious, well designed and equipped with every comfort, the food was great, varied and in abundant quantities, as well as the wine we drank during the aperitifs. Being lactose intolerant I had special needs, which were taken into account on every occasion. Fabio and Angela made us feel at home from the first moment, they were kind, caring and of excellent company, they complied with our requests with patience and competence and taught us the basics of the maneuvers to be carried out on a sailboat, as per our request. We sailed a lot sailing and stopped to swim in beautiful places. Unforgettable experience, see you next year! Sabrina and Francesco

Bittersweet experience Let's start from the positive: I embarked in a single cabin, together with another couple, to host the skipper Fabio and his partner Angela. Sailboat kept very well and clean. The attitude of the skipper was very often grumpy towards us and his partner. Access to the fridge was not allowed, despite having done the shopping independently. We were offered half board for the modest sum of € 25 per day. On the contrary, it happened that they accessed our cabins without warning. Fabio tried more than once to change the pre-established route without notifying us. When we protested he sailed a full day by motor saying that there was no wind even though the other boats magically sailed. The linen tent ..... only from a standstill. During the navigation there was no possibility of shelter from the sun. Anyway if the purpose of the holiday and relax ....... holiday not recommended.-----SAUTHOR's answer---- "Sailors at the sea..." For those who do not live at sea and underestimate the pitfalls, it is difficult to understand the attitudes of those who have made the sea a profession and a reason for being. Participating in a sailing cruise involves having to submit to the decisions of the command without often understanding the purposes of safety and comfort that are the prerogatives of those who exercise this activity towards the crews. That said, we never promise or agree on predefined stages, given the unpredictable evolution of the weather, the command decides in absolute autonomy the times, ways and routes, so as to make the best stay on board. Access to the on-board fridge is allowed to the master and the cabin crew who preserves the cold chain and the least dispersion of the electricity reserves. Several times we invited the crew to ask at any time everything they needed, whether or not inside the refrigerator. We offer, in addition to the Hostess service that takes care of the constant cleaning of the boat and the corvè on board, the kitchen service at a cost of € 25 per person per day, including: breakfast, lunch and dinner, water, wine and soft drinks are included during and outside meals. Access to the bathrooms of the cabins by the skipper is necessary for the verification of the closure of the sea intakes, an indispensable operation to ensure safe navigation. Since ours is a sports boat it is not possible for maneuvering reasons to keep the sun awning open during navigation, which is why we recommend adequate sun protection and the use of a sun hat. I do not understand the considerations about my personal relationships with my collaborator.... Sea to sailors.

Fantastic experience! We had a great time discovering Elba, its enchanting landscapes and its coves with transparent water. Fabio and Angela were hospitable and extremely caring, making us feel at home from the first moment. It is a very active holiday, full of fun and small unexpected events that make it special! The itinerary is changeable and depends on weather conditions. In this Fabio is a great master and we let ourselves be advised to make the experience on board for everyone as comfortable as possible. We managed to travel often sailing and spent several nights at anchor! Highly recommended holiday!

Pleasant and fun experience! Fabio is a trained and experienced skipper of Elba, accompanied by the courtesy and availability of Angela. Pleasant group life, beautiful sea baths, aperitifs on the boat and evening walks in the villages. Little wind but we still managed to go a little sailing. Only lack: a night at anchor ... but it went very well like that. Thanks Fabio and Angela. Until next time

Nice experience with Fabio and Angela
