This experience, in a nutshell

Our journey will begin with a beautiful, fast sail between the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas to discover some of the most beautiful islands and locations. If the sea conditions allow it, we will leave the beautiful Genoa, its historic center, the aquarium and we will leave on the same evening of boarding for a night crossing with which, in the light of the moon and stars, we will reach the splendid island of Capraia, a slice of paradise thrown into the sea the continent and Corsica. Protected as a national park, Capraia is a real jewel starting from the marina and its village perched on the hill and surmounted by the walls of an ancient castle. The coast is magnificent, dotted with bays where we will take beautiful dives and unforgettable swims. The most spectacular is Cala Rossa. After visiting it, driven by the wind, we will reach Elba, the largest of the islands of the Tuscan archipelago and the third largest in Italy.


The first stop will be the delightful Marciana Marina, with its Medici tower and its lively promenade. After skirting the north coast of the island, Capo Bianco, the Chiaie, Porto Ferraio, Rio Marina, and the beautiful green bays around Porto Azzurro where we will stop. Set sails! And after a few miles of navigation here we are swimming in the Seno di Campese bay on the island of Giglio. From then on, it will all be an alternation of splendid views, stacks, cliffs and breathtaking bays, sea to drink. It is impossible to tire of sailing among so many charms and resist the temptation to dive into such a velvety sea. Once we reach the picturesque and lively village of Giglio Porto and after diving into the enchanting bays that surround it, we will sail to Porto Santo Stefano, a picturesque town in the Argentario, our last stop.

From the wonders of Sardinia to those of Menorca, the Balearics

I really enjoyed the cruise with Riccardo. He is an experienced sailor and I trusted him, which is very important, especially if you have make a long crossing between islands, as we did. Riccardo took us to a lot of pretty places, and the trip was filled with beautiful moments like eating dinner together with the entire crew while enjoying the sunset in a lovely bay at anchor, or swimming in the sea during the day to cool yourself down. La dolce vita. The boat is well-equipped and comfortable, and the captain goes out of his way to make everyone comfortable. Obviously there were also some misunderstandings, but honestly, that is to be expected in a group of people traveling and living together for a week, and I think all quarrels which arose were handled properly in the end. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Riccardo!

Uno skipper che usa quasi sempre la vela! Cosa non scontata. Pur essendo una barca datata, è leggera e bilanciata, così da navigare bene anche con poco vento. Riccardo, è, infine, una persona gentile e paziente. Esperienza positiva: consigliato per persone spartane e che amano veleggiare.
